Yes and No, I still really do enjoy the game because of nostalgia and have people to play with often. If this journey was by myself, I would have quit permanently a long time ago. Although I do quit quite often, because of the death grip this game has on me I am always coming back. With the new direction Maple seems to be taking in 2024 here are my new edited Pros and Cons as to why one should or should not play this game.

Pros:
-Fun with friends once you get done with the inital grind in the game such as getting to Chaos Root Abyss when you can start working together rather than solo (Level 200+)
-The Reboot server makes it so that people can't trade and slightly evens the playing field (Just a little, ex. Vac pets ($100 + $15 up keep per month), Sol Erda Boosters)
-Progression feels amazing
-Flashy Skills
-A LOT of characters so you can try them all until you find one YOU like and main
-Surprisingly still a pretty live game with a good amount of players to meet and talk to (unless if ur planning to just solo...)
-Nostalgia if your an oldie
-Fast leveling in the early levels to make you feel good (Especially during hyperburns which could get you to 260)
-We finally have the attention from Korea and are getting better quality updates with slightly better communication ALTHOUGH there is still much Nexon needs to work on to just not spit on their player base every time they update (Compared to the hell hole of management this game had previously before 2024)
-All classes are viable in the game ESPECIALLY if you're playing casual
-Bossing is fun
-Events make it very new player friendly to start (Gives lots of rewards and lets people skip almost 3/4th the time it takes to 260 and gear by then)
-Carries got nerfed so people cannot just skip gear sets just cuz they can survive a boss being bursted down in 1 second (Pro and Con depending on how you want to play)
-Level 260+ areas are now instanced and allow 2 people to grind on a map compared to just 1 before and allowing people to steal kills from you and grief you)
-Fashionstory

Cons
-Pay 2 Win [Regular Servers & now Reboot as well]
-Can be laggy at times (I'm looking at you Ursus)
-No more free market D: (they did replace it with an easier to use auction house though :/ )
-Grinding your life away if you wanna reach end game/max level (ex. Hexa fragment grinding
+ WE LITERALLY HAVE ONLY 1 PERSON AT MAXED LEVEL (June 2024))
-VERY SOLO ORIENTED GAME (Grinding monsters is a very large portion of this game and what it is based around)
-FOMO is real
-Sometimes Nexon makes decisions that gut your main class to a much weaker level compared to what it used to be for no reason (RIP Arans and Shades with their reworks)
-HEAVILY RNG BASED (Starforcing, Flames, Potentials, Item Drops, Hexa Frag Drops, etc, etc.)
-Botters?
-A lot of useless optional and outdated content that can confuse new players on how to progress especially if they have no guidance
-A LOT of systems that WILL confuse people that havent learned about them either from youtube or friends (Starforcing, flames, potentials, item sets, legion, skill links, artifacts, home system...)
-Power Creep go crazy
