Too bad these hacked items are much easier to identify than the enhancement hacked items. It would be great to get rid of those too.

Bribery Wrote:I'd be amazed if they accomplish this without a hitch. I'm sure a few legit items will be lost too.

Worthyness Wrote:Why woudl you just give them their weapons back? They clearly went against the ToS as well as ruined your fricken game, why not just outright perma ban them? Legitimate players being affected by these items? pineapple that! If they have them in their inventory, they knowingly bought the damned hack/the item to have it and they are equally as liable as the hackers are. They are too soft with their consequences.

Oh they ruined our game, but we'll give them a chance to redeem themselves because we're so nice and they will change their ways once they know that we will remove their items.
Granted they could just remake a new account, it would be farm better to just eliminate their entire presence.

Abysseon Wrote:It does give an impression that they're including EE hacked equips as well.

Justin Wrote:Not holding my breath until the dust clears on this one. If they don't check MTS, Storage, Duey (Yes, even fucking DUEY), and locked items, EVERYTHING, then this is a failure in execution entirely. As stated they don't mention mass duped or EE hacked equips either.


Here's hoping this is the "dust storm" of Maplestory. Or whatever the pineapple that huge item wiping of Diablo II patch was called.

Bomber Wrote:Think about it this way...
If nexon accidentally had legits affected, would legits rather be perma banned or have a weapon refreshed?
Sure they ruined our game, but the weapons are gone, dude. They'll make a new account anyway, as you said. And making them waste hundreds of dollars seems like a nice torture to me.

Blunderr Wrote:Apparently that hacker guy from earlier claims that hackers have been holding these items in the Wedding Gift storage NPC in Amoria. Assuming his claims are legitimate, if Nexon doesn't check that, then this whole maintenance will accomplish nothing. pineapple.

byakugan Wrote:You people need to stop labeling these people as 'Legit'. How many times has Nexon stated, out and inside the ToS, that if something seems too good to be safe, then it probably is not?. It's not like the hackers went into FM and started gifting these weapons to everyone, people with them either bought them or made them so anyone with one knows pretty well they are illicit.

the reason why Nexon doesn't ban anyone is because it isn't good business-wise, not because they don't wanna harm legits, because there are none.

Blades4hire Wrote:As I think was posted before, if one was willing to spend thousands of $ on one of these items, obviously they're willing to spend a lot of money on this game.
It would be counterproductive for nexon to ban them.

Flonne Wrote:I'd be much more happy if they kicked every familiar hack leecher off of the rankings, at the very least. It can't be too hard to see who partied with the hackers...

Eos Wrote:If I had the capacity for hope I would celebrate.

At best I can offer my fervent prayer for as minimal of a pineapple-up as possible.
