    I would love to see this implementation instead but I don't really know what the codebase is like for maplestory, what actions are easily referenceable and stuff. If I knew java and had experience in operating a server, I would contribute more to that discussion. Obviously, they can reference mob kills, so it should be possible to do this. Hopefully it wouldn't introduce any kind of bugs or exploits with good oversight... If it's on the table, I would much rather see a system like that implemented, and I think valuing certain actions besides just literally killing mobs should be a thing. Reward hard workers, don't reward afkers. The point I make, is that I want to see people have to be glued to the screen if they want to retain a map. I don't care if you want a break, other people also want to play and benefit from the best maps. The map economy should constantly shift. It shouldn't be held by one person for 10+ hours uncontestable. There's no reason for you to occupy a map while not even playing the game. There's only 8 instances of any map to utilize, and there's hundreds of players moving through the progression steps.

    I think the solution to this is to encourage people to explore off-meta maps, and you might probably find some hidden gems.

    Doesn't apply for the higher level content.

    That got shutdown real quick

    The issue here is if you are willing to do it? I see many high level maps empty in the game & just that few meta maps full of peeps.

    Coming out from my own perspective of things.

    You are not wrong, but the reality is people will always try to optimize their work. Meta maps are full is cause the exp/mesos return is good, other high level maps empty is cause the exp or mesos return is worse and ppl is just wasting their time using those map.

    Just like freeway during peak hour, always traffic there but ppl still choose to use it instead of using local road.

    The deviation of average exp grows much larger in higher levels. The argument for moving to the next meta map doesn't apply for higher level content as well as it does for lower level content because the range of efficiency and viability is much larger.

    What about only allowing a player to hold one map? Often you can find players in boss runs while their alt is holding a popular map, but not using the map.
