No. It is not.
I don't even spend money on the game, and I find today's MS to be MUCH better than pre-BB MS.
In fact, I think there are still too many things from old Maple around that need to go. For instance, the annoying pre-quests for Zakum and Horntail. (That you have to do again if you die against them.) We can just stroll right in and challenge Hilla, Arkarium, Von Leon, Magnus and Root Abyss bosses. And they are more rewarding to kill to boot. So why do we have to hunt down Manon just for a shot at Horntail? (The long respawn times for Griffey and Manon are another thing that needs to go. So annoying trying to hunt them down.)
And continental traveling. There are ways to completely bypass it these days. (Accept "Blake's Autographs" quest. Forfeit quest. Take subway to Kerning. Click on Quick Move and click on the ship. Go to Six Path Crossway. Take portal to Pantheon. Use Pantheon portal to go anywhere.) So why do the waiting times and lengthy trips still exist? Surely players who don't know about tricks like the one I mentioned shouldn't have to suffer them.
And the Skill Book system. RED does a lot to make the whole thing more bareable. (Especially the part where Adventurers no longer need to get a stupid skillbook from Zakum to unlock skills.) But why not get rid of it completely? 7 million and 10 million per book can still be pretty pricey for some players. (Or do they drop from monsters like Mystery books currently do?)
And so on.
