Reading an article on loot boxes in gaming. Having played MapleStory it was clear that many utilized the various ways to pump up their items / stats / characters. Yet, I also got the sense that people despised it.
How do you all feel about these kinds of things in game?

The only boxes worth buying are McDonalds' Happy Meals because 100% chance of getting a fun toy or KFC's $5 Fill Up box because it will fill you up! Also, Japanese bento boxes because you are guaranteed all kinds of delicious food!
Idc if they're cosmetic and give no stats boosts, but I hate it when it's like in Maplestory that you REQUIRE them to get better gear or like other games when it's special gear that gives boosts.
@HawtNoodle do you feel they "fixed" that with the Reboot server?
@captain Kinda, since you could buy them with meso only. But that's the reason there's so many hackers in Reboot now so 50/50. 50 for a decend solution, 50 for all the hackers...all the hackers is one of the reason I stopped playing all together.
@HawtNoodle yeah... sameish, it is somewhat telling that even all these years later they never truly put the hammer down on the hackers. Too bad...
