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.
The odds of prot scrolls were around the same as the odds for everything else based on what I saw. You can't possibly know what their intentions are with wards and innocence scrolls so that's a moot point. As for the release of 150 equips that's great time for Nexon to release exactly what you said they won't. Who doesn't need wards to perfect their weapons?
A completely economy breaking hack? I don't know about you but the economy in Khaini seems pretty fine to me. How long has this hack been out? Weeks? I see no difference. You know who's making a big deal about this hack? All the funded high levels who can't Empress anymore. The VAST majority of the MS community can't do that. It's the vocal minority that's making a big deal about this stack hack. I admit it should be patched, it's a significant hack, but it's no where near as game breaking as you claim. People said the same thing about PG hacking and look how game breaking that was after being active for months.
There have ALWAYS been hackers and botters. There always will. There is no magic solution to get rid of all these problems. You keep saying there won't be a future economy in game. This has been said again and again and it's never materialized. Is there inflation? Yes. Has it completely broken the economy? Not even close. You're making assumptions about company policy because you're angry at them for patching a glitch and you knowing exploited.
The stack hack is a problem yes. Is it any where NEAR the scale you're trying to make it seem? No it's not. Perhaps they haven't figured out how to patch the hack yet. It takes time to work out bugs like that. It's possible they got the fix for this first. Are you suggesting they don't implement a fix for an OBVIOUS exploit until they fix a hack?
