After 10,000+ hours grinding, MapleStory's first level 300 player slams the brakes at 299.99 to rant about the MMO and then quit, all on a dev-promoted stream (www.gamesradar.com)

The game has exponential level growth. The amount of time it takes to go from level 1-250 is like the same as the time it takes to go 298-299...everyone has a breaking point.

Edit: The article specified that he was leveling at about .065% per hour at the end. That's over 1500 hours to go from level 299 to 300.

Per 2 hours even! Makes that 1500 hours

187 days of playing 8 hours a day. That's insane.
