After spending the vast majority of my free time playing this game i can say that it's not worth the time or effort. Maplestory2 offers a great deal of activities to occupy your time and while some are rewarding other aren't soo much.

If you're going into the game to play it casually and you don't really care too much about being stuck progress wise week after week, go for it. There's lots to do besides raids. You can practice music compilations / create clothing templates and sell / spend hours perfecting your house etc.

My reason for quitting is pretty simple. There's too much RNG based locks / timegates on progression. While getting +15 isn't really what i'm talking about here, it'll probably frustrate most beginners and if getting to +15 frustrates you, you haven't seen anything yet.

I can go on and on about how many RNG gates there are but i'm telling you people with less than half my playtime have progressed signifcantly further based upon RNG.

I have done everything there was to do in this game, i've completed all the Raids and maxed every other thing there was (fishing, gathering, star collection).

If you really want a reason to not play this game because i know there are some that might have really blessed RNG, let me list you 5 off the top of my head.

1) Botting - Bots have ruined the economy of this game and Nexon can't contain it

2) Toxic community - The remaining players in the game are very toxic and it's rare to find a
helpful player

3) Meso buyers - The main reason bots exist

4) Run sellers - This is hard to explain but picture a group of people profiting off Meso buyers
by completing their raids for them thereby in a way promiting Meso buying
because of the price for some Runs especially Chaos Pap

5) Lack of information - This game should have told new players alot of things, in fact the
main reason alot of people quit was because of Korean Maplestory2
players held gamechanging information to get ahed. The game
doesn't tell you how much your damage can be boosted by your pets
or gems and the importance of both. It just throws you a questline
and a basic tutorial and you're on your own.
