How could Nexon have reasonably predicted that there was going to be a packet exploit for an event that was not released on KMS (to my knowledge?) and hadn't received much hype at all? I understand your point, Nexon does need to do a better job at at least trying to stop exploits, and that's so true, but in this case, I don't believe there's much they could have done.
Also, why does MapleStory have trouble with hackers? It's profitable. If it weren't profitable (ie., a smaller game, a newer game (?)), then it'd probably be less problematic.
Its the exact same situation affecting the exact same event. That is why I expect them to know.
Its as if they learn nothing. There isn't any excuse that I can think of that would allow them to let this go on the way that it has been. They are aware of item duplication and generation efforts in the darker areas of the game's community, they understand how items are generated and how they are duplicated, and they know the methods through which to alter the system in order to prevent such things from happening. The fact that White Scrolls were duplicated for as long as they were while Nexon sat back saying "Don't worry everyone, we've fixed the duping now" is enough for me to discredit their efforts.
My argument isn't that they arn't fixing exploits in a timely manner.
My argument is that they arn't fixing what is arguably the SAME exploit that has been there forever. And if it is true that variants exist, then take caution to the ways that they work, and test appropriately. Don't throw caution to the wind and expect all to be fine when the economy implodes.
