Nexons Notice to Tyrant Gear

Well, maybe those people had no knowledge of what's happening. Either way, it's going to be removed until Kaiser's release.

I find that excuse for people really thin and without substantial back up. Even if you logged in later in the incident, you'd see a bunch of smegas that said "lolhacked items".

Then, in order to even buy these things you'd need to have max mesos or more, which is pretty hard to come by without having invested significant time and money into this game (i.e. gone out to buy NX to merchant) People who go out and buy NX (and have the patience to make the mesos) generally have a good understanding of this game if they want to make that much money. Option two being illegal meso sites which, if you peruse, will basically tell you that the damned items are hacked anyway.

Third, if you've just started this game, you wouldn't have the mesos to buy it. Period. And if you are new to this game and somehow have gotten max mesos to buy the item, then you should have, at some point, google'd a skill build for the character, which will likely bring you to either Basil or here, which, if you explore the forum further (as any good person would to know the game better), you would also find that the equipment is hacked. There is in no way there is someone who has played Maple for any significant amount of time without having once looked up something on Basil or Southperry. Even then you have a guild or at least one friend online to tell you the items are hacked. You can't have played an MMO without interacting with people. that completely defeats the purpose of the game :/

The only legitimate reason to have no knowledge of these equipment (so far as I know) is if you played maple like 3 years ago, made max mesos back then, lived in a non-maplestory based hole for the past few years, and got back like maybe 24 hours ago. Even then, logically, before you make any purchase of an item that goes at max mesos or higher price, you'd at least investigate the item. I mean really, who goes to a car dealer ship and buys the first car that they see?

TL;DR People who bought the items have really no excuse for having bought them. If the deal is too good to be true, it generally is. "OMG so many stats for less than 500mil??!! What a steal!" <<- stupid person mindset considering anything that has that many stats on it would definitely go for more than Max mesos anyway.
