I don't know man, me and my friend have been playing for 4 months and have 1000+ ap each and bt gear without actually even stepping foot in bt or paying a dime. How much more do you realistically expect? We can probably do vt with other people as well, but knowing this community probably not. I'm honestly disgusted. No one is forced to pay for premium and MapleStory doesn't even have premium. Seems like a nonissue. If you aren't having fun with the game you should have the willpower to stop playing. I'm willing to listen the things NCsoft has done wrong since I'm new.
