there is a problem with what you are asking: "super weak" "crazy insane time investments" "decent equips" and "get to high lvls" are all relative terms. Weak for one person might be average for the next. I know people say you can compare between what "average" maplers have, but that depends on your sample, which may be skewed.
You are not going to level as fast as, or make money as quickly as, those who will spend a grand on NX a month and log in 16 hours a day. But whatever progress you do make making money or training is saved, and for NX/general merchanting, there is the MTS. That's the way MMO's in general are. You will likely have to spend roughly the same amount of time as others to get to where they are (though things like leeching and other things can create bit of shortcuts.). As long as the game is fun for the little bit of time you spend on it, what does it matter.
By starting this thread, you seem to WANT to be a high level damage hoar, without the drive/motivation/simply time to GET either high levels (160+) or funds/time to get rich merchenting for great gear.
And yes, it IS POSSIBLE to get far with 1-2 hours a day. But thats for like 2 years. Time = Money, you need one or the other, either mesos/NX, or time overall (per day doesnt need to be high, just culmative time).
