Kag sees everything as a personal attack.
Sounds like she's skynet.
Butts.

what on earth...
Spoiler!
I can't believe what I'm about to do. Imma watch the Kids' Choice Award at 7 EST
Mebbe because they are.
1. Steadily climbing grind with lag.
2. Inflexible build system.
3. Nerfed MP Recover for magicians (which makes no sense since without it, chairs are worthless. Seriously, before BigBang, you could just rest and recover and not have to go back to town and repot. It was one of the few things clerics/priests had going for them since damage was out until bishop. Instead, we have retarded pots all over the field)
4. Super high grind penalty for loss up to 10% (supposedly they fixed it, but I must've missed the memo, since whenever I played I lost roughly 7%)
5. Lag rape (instead of simply figuring out, hmmm, maybe it's lagging too much, maple will keep you on through lag, while blocking healing. If you're a cleric and have a slow computer, climb a ladder fast and hope you don't get knocked off)
6. Item destruction (is it so hard to have a simple scroll that just fails? Nah, we wanna make it use slots for failure, or better yet, let's destroy your items. I routinely tossed dark scrolls whenever I got the from gacha. I could never sell them, and they'd screw up my weapons)
7. NX is heavily pushed (the system through the above balance issues, is set up, so you pretty much need to cheat a bit by buying NX, which exactly what nexon wants).
I keep saying, we need to band together, and make our own MMO.
MMOs are expensive and difficult to make if you want it to actually be good. It could improve on Maple's faults but beating even a game like MapleStory is a longshot. And compared to what you're stating it seems some of your points take a personal stance against the game instead of issues as a whole. The grind is weak but it's just that. Grind. There's no realistic alternative late in the game. Inflexible build system isn't really a big deal unless you desperately love flying off-course and ruining characters. In reality other MMOs like WoW have "barely" more flexibility since you are really set to using the best for a certain class and whether that class is a tank, DPS, or healer. And the 10% loss of EXP is only a result of death, which if you play knowledgeably and carefully enough, should pretty much never happen in most grind-case scenarios. And lag? Really? Fix that. Seriously. When I was playing that never happened. Item destruction also seems like a spite you have against the game. I don't have much of an issue with scrolls as the game should carry risks if you want to seriously improve your items. The only thing I truly agree with here is the NX pushing. It's excessive of course, but we can't help that. They have to make money somehow and they just happen to want to make a lot of it.
