Flames were polled in MLC and there were three main reasons councillors were against it (note that I don't think this had any influence, but I could be wrong):
1) upgrading equips is already complicated enough, flames would just confuse new players more (easily refutable but I digress)
2) too overpowered (confusing it with MEE)
3) scissor limit
Also interesting to point out that several councillors voted (I don't think we ever actually had an official "vote") against it because they didn't want to have to redo their gear, some had no idea what the system actually was, and the others were against it because I was campaigning for it.
Overwhelming majority of councillors did not want to see the system implemented in the end.
As for the whole streaming maplestory... people don't watch for content (outside of special occasions - cubing, scrolling, bossing.. things that don't take up much time). they watch for the streamer. Matt streams meso farming for hours and hours but can still pull 150+ for the whole time.
