For instance, some person with 700k range losing gear to make it 300k range can just go "F3, lemme just use all those millions/billions of mesos/NX I've made from selling loads of duped stuff over the years to get my range back up to 700k in a week".
What Nexon should be doing from now on is make removals like this EVERY week and be more thorough each time (of course I'm sure they've missed some things). They should focus more and more on the source of the problem (including the duped scrolls used to make such gear), not the outcome. Making huge removals like this every couple of months won't do anything to deter the hackers. The fact that there's still some duping methods out there (unless I'm mistaken) does not help either.
Do you know anyone personally who dupes? Because you have no idea what you're talking about.
Fenne Wrote:The larger problem is that furthermore, how are we ever to know whether an item is duped or not? If it's not just godly items getting removed, how could you possibly buy anything anymore from anyone in the FM? A LOT more was removed than just uber Godly equips. In a game where Nexon makes money on cubes that enhance an existing items stats, does anyone see the incredible moral issue at stake here? Wait until someone has cubed an item and spent $$$ and then claim its duped and remove it during a maintenance? This is totally absurd. I am not defending the actions as I feel they were needed, but a tremendous part of the game is merching, and how can you ever buy an already scrolled item knowing there is a chance at some point in the future it might be removed?
This is where i am at. Regardless of legitimacy or whatever excuse you use to justify it, treating their players in this way is unforgiveable. The fact that they deleted a lot of things that were in fact legit doesn't help at all either.
If they had done this within the month of it being so obvious it's stupid i bet you no one would have complained besides those who caused it in the first place who probably still wouldn't care because they already made thousands of dollars sometimes on a daily basis selling these items. Doing it A FULL YEAR AND THEN SOME AFTER everything was already so heavily assimilated into the economy and the high level player base is one of the stupidest actions i have ever seen from a company.
