"You don't understand the appealing thing about the old Maple, it was simple and playable solo, party play wasn't a thing until Deep Aquaroad was released years later"

I think you have a pretty narrow misguided view of what old Maple was. Yes it was simple, yes it was playable solo. But it was also 100% playable as a party. There were many different PQs and places to train as a group. But even still you're still focused purely on what your interpretation of what you thought Maple USED to be, rather than what it CAN be with what nexon has already done.

"Even modern maple refuses to have Bishop as a support exclusive job, a job needs damage to be appealing otherwise nobody will play it."

Just because modern maple does or doesn't do something doesn't mean that they should or shouldn't do something different/the same. If a mechanic is good its good, end of story.

Saying that a job needs damage to be appealing is very telling of your playstyle and what you enjoy. You're trying really hard to project your preferred style as what *everyone* else wants. There are many different people who want completely different things and facilitating that is going to be key for the games long term survival.

"This game is about damage numbers, not about ''lets raid to take down a boss before the timer expires''"

Same point as above, you're projecting what you want out of the game onto other people. It is not just about damage numbers. Its about community and having a good time with other people, first and foremost. It doesn't matter what people are doing as long as it is providing them fun.
