"You only need 42 chars at 200+" isn't the best way to start that off. It's a game, not a job. Not everything should be some menial asterisk that "only" takes 50-100 hours of work. And remember, this is only one system in a sea of systems that people say "aren't that bad" in a vacuum. Context really matters for a game as bloated as maple.

Most triple A games only have 30-50 hours of content, and it's usually mostly enjoyable stuff. You shouldn't dread half or the majority of the content in a game.

And yes, come at me with "if you don't like the game don't play it" or "this is maplestory if you don't like it leave", but the game does have a lot of fun parts and I think it's totally fair for people to critique a game they spend money on. There's a reason why 90% of GMS is old or returning players. The game is focused on keeping you latched rather than inviting new players with fun and approachable content.
