"So I go to the website of Insight Venture partners (majority shareholders) and I discover that they are the ones that have control of NEXON!@$@#^%@!#$
For those of you who don't know, Nexon controls Maplestory. Those of you that have played Maplestory, you know why this is a terrible thing. For those of you that haven't, here are some reasons why this is sickening.
It used to take effort to level in Maplestory and people looked up to the level 200's (max level in ms) you felt accomplished leveling up and had a goal to look forward to.
Nexon comes along and starts completely destroying the game.
1. It took years to get to level 200 and now it takes 1-2 months
2. Shady tactics of constantly changing the combat system forcing you to buy upgrades from the cash shop if you want good gear
3. Constant nerfing of characters damage and skills forcing you to make new characters to hit better damage
4. They used to have occasional events like rs does that could give you rare items if you put effort into killing monsters. Now they have events that pretty much go all year round but these events give free high level equip boxes that are extremely common, 4x exp events 6x exp events and you can even get up to 9x exp with power ups for up to 4 hours at a time... they even have items that instantly level you.
What this means for Runescape.
Things will get way too easy and everybody will be maxed with little effort. There will be no goals to look forward to and there will be a change to combat/skills that requires you to buy sketchy items that only work based on chance in a cash shop in order to have better skills/stats than other people.
Companies have to make money, I get it. Insight Venture though clearly has 0 care about games and the players."
Thats the company now in charge of runescape
Imagine they might sell a player a 9x exp box for a 4 hr period..hmm not a nice feeling
