MapleStory: Love or Hate?

I realized.... MapleStory is a rather pointless game, as well as every single MMO in this world. You kill things, level up, kill more things, get some money, kill even more things, buy weapons, kill EVEN MORE things, then.... nothing. You reach the level cap, and there's nothing more you can do.
I don't understand... what is it that attracts people?
Then I realized... It's not what awaits at the end of your struggles that counts.
It's the journey.
