I only got 3 over the course of the 2-3 days the event has been available. (With mules included, mind you.) At this point in time I'd say Nexon has no intentions on releasing wards or innocence scrolls in the CS again anytime soon. And with the release of 150 equips in KMS, and not too far behind, our localization, there will be plenty of money spending to be had by the players who get the new equipments. Nexon is the one shooting itself in the foot over and over again with the completely assbackwards mentality that it has when it comes to hackers vs normal players.
If a bug that even remotely benefits normal players comes around, it gets patched within days.
If a completely economy breaking hack comes around and is COMPLETELY WIDESPREAD, nothing is done. For weeks. STILL nothing has been done.
You speak about the future when you're not looking at how potentially damaging these hacks are for the game's future economy at the same time. And if there's no economy to speak of, no one will want to do anything on maplestory. A couple of silly slot expansions that no one buys unless they're on sale in the first place and items that haven't been available for months won't do jack pomegranate to their bottom line. The company will still make billions. Billions which it does absolutely nothing with but pocket for their own self-desires. They don't put their money back INTO their games to keep them running smooth. As long as it's "functioning" and not a dead horse they don't give two flying fucks what is going on with it.
Not to mention that paranoid, frightened and thoroughly pissed-off players are typically not good spenders. They're still earning a lot, but that will disappear over time if players realize that they could get banned for a variety of stupid reasons and get all of their purchases invalidated seeing that people spend because they intend to play.
