"It makes no sense!" - Twitch streamer who reached highest level in MapleStory history blasts Nexon in front of thousands of viewers

A Twitch streamer named Niru has gone viral for his actions during a recent MapleStory stream. Niru has the highest level character in the game’s history, sitting at less than a percentage point away from level 300 - the game’s level cap. It takes an astronomical amount of exp to reach this point, and it’s such an accomplishment that Nexon’s social media even highlighted the upcoming stream, to bring people around to watch.

For those unfamiliar, MapleStory is an MMORPG with a rich, 20-year history. It even received a webtoon to celebrate its 20th anniversary. With 20K+ people watching, instead of hitting level 300 as was expected, the Twitch streamer stopped to air his grievances with the GMS servers of MapleStory - the global servers for North America, Oceania, and Europe.

In particular, this part of the clip discusses item trading, and how the most important item on the server isn’t tradeable:

Instead of taking his character to level 300 in the stream, the Twitch streamer instead took the time to air grievances about MapleStory, and how unfairly the playerbase is being treated. Before the clip began, he was discussing the merging of the Interactive Worlds: Scania, Bera, Aurora, and Elysium.

According to Niru, it’s one of the best things that Nexon could do for the game. Before diving into the game, he showed the description of the Interactive Worlds - the one he’s been playing for years. It’s a server that allows for growth through “a variety of methods, including trading between players.” However, one of the most important items doesn’t appear to be tradeable.

The Twitch streamer would log in, and begin to speak as if he were a player just returning to the game, looking at current content:
