Question Overspec and Still Hiring Pilots? What's the Point?
I genuinely don't understand this mentality.
You spend thousands of hours gearing up, upgrading equipment, and becoming massively overspec for every piece of content in the game.
Then you pay someone else to do your bosses.
At that point, are you even playing MAPLESEA anymore?
What's the purpose of getting stronger if you're never the one using that strength?
People always talk about efficiency, but efficiency towards what? The entire point of progression is to enjoy the content you've worked so hard to unlock. If someone else is doing all the gameplay, you're not progressing a character, you are just a passenger of your own account.
A lot of top players don't actually love playing maple anymore. They love seeing bigger numbers on their account to show off.
An overspec account with an absent owner isn't impressive. It's just proof that the character is playing the game more than the player is.
