They have dupes, they only need to buy 1 of any item (preferably clean) and they're golden.

Saddest part is, that's totally true.

Mazz Wrote:The days of hackers abusing the game for the benefit of their characters are pretty much over, most of the exploits now are created by people that use them to make real money. I guess that's why there's so much interest in hacking now, after people have seen how badly Nexon deals with this sort of stuff they see it as a way of earning a bit of cash. Frustratingly it seems to work quite a lot of the time.
Whit all the money they earn, they can make 10 characters whit full godly equips....... and a car

1. If one of them starts liquidating all of his assets, all the others undercut him and each other in an attempt to make the most profit. (as seen by the recent waves of mts stuff) Therefore, it's much better to wait until you have enough of a stock that you can have nearly a monopoly on the market.
2. Removes chance of loss due to rollbacks.
3. Take protection scrolls as an example. For months hackers wouldn't sell them, and only offered "warding services". Why? If even one got out into the market, it could be duped by their competition, resulting in huge losses for them.
Much better to release them when you have several thousand(in the case of protect scrolls, I've seen pictures in which they literally have 48 slot use inventories completely filled with stacks of 100).
This principle would apply to the things such as 20 att earrings and 27 att raccoon masks as well.

same reason dupe methods are "top secret" if someone from the other group figures it out, and there's a fallback dupe method, they'll release how it's done so that it gets patched, and cuts group B's ability to compete in prices and undercut.
maple's a mafia.

At least there's competition between hacking groups, otherwise it would be a monopoly and things would be much worse.

Tyler is a 14 year old boy who lives close to the Nexon HQ and likes to go in their offices being a fanboy, giving them cupcakes and generally kissing their butts. He's convinced that he's going to intern there one day soon because they all "love him" and he's so wise and mature beyond his years.
The fact that he hasn't been banned or reprimanded for his imping yet sort of implies that there might be some truth to his claims. That or he's some Nexon employee's buttboy. Or both.
I realize this topic is like 5 pages old, but I'm still bitter over getting gangfucked by a 14 year old boy and his fangirls for calling him out on his bullshit.

You should leave the Nexon forums and never come back. Your life will be much better over here with us.

Oh, I have. I've never really gone to the Nexon forums by choice. Just here (and Leafre/Ellin for KMS needs). The only time I really went there -- and thus was exposed to Tyler and his entourage -- was when all the pomegranate was going down a few weeks ago, because Southperry was going down for me as often as MS was.

I think at this point we can safely say that we just need to ask ourselves one simple question:
Why are we still playing and in some cases paying?
This game is full of bugs, repeatedly exploited, and has no apparent customer or developer support. None of these things show any sign of changing.
This game had a lot of potential and I love many aspects of the game itself, but now I've come to realize that even without directly spending $ to support Nexon and its terrible practices; I'm complicit with the system by selling items in the MTS and occasionally buying codes with mesos. So I'm quitting for good just as soon as I get my HT Slayer medal (2 days assuming I can work up the nerve to log on). Atlas has shrugged

I don't have to ask myself that question anymore. This whole mess is why I downloaded kMS and have taken a hiatus from gMS, and I couldn't be happier.

^same, only I went back to DFO...surprisingly enough, DFO is actually run rather well and I don't ever recall there being so many problems in terms of hackers and so many server maintenances when I played over the summer (they had like one a month which was awesome)...
until things get better in GMS there's really no point in even logging on anymore...

I have the little hope that one day in a far future, nexon will do something...
And by the way, why there is always someone asking this? you don't want us to play or something?
i am pretty sure that whit the current state of the game, if you are playing is because you know that you can get hacked/banned, that you can survive whit rollbacks, dupes, scammers, etc...
