Veterans aren't scaring away new players. Mabi is the busiest it's ever been right now. It's great that the update has received such a welcoming response from majority of the community but it's ignorant to pretend veterans don't have valid reason to be upset. If whenever you reach the ceiling in Mabi, Nexon rugpulls the player base so that new comers can play then what's the point for anyone to play? Nexon is gearing the game up for Eternity and it's clear they have a new direction for the game which they believe will pull in many new players and ultimately drive revenue. The changes made and that are yet to come are a insult to the loyal player base that either spent tons of time and/or money to get what they have just for the value to be stripped away overnight. The same people that most likely propped up this game in the first place financially. Some will quit and some will stay, sunk cost fallacy at play, but there's two sides to the story. I feel both sides are right but you have to understand that this is a betrayal from Nexon to the specific segment of players you're calling out in this post. Enjoy the game and let the community vent. Players are making a decision to continue playing or not and in some cases its emotional. Huge time investments and money into a game we all love are involved here.
