Is this Normal?

On a serious note, how do you get to that conclusion? Have Nexon made a statement saying that they're going to f'uck everyone just to stop hackers?

It's rather easy to come to that conclusion given that Tyrant drops were removed from Hard Magnus after, but still around the same time frame, as their crusade to delete all the illegitimately gained Tyrant equips, and, if I remember correctly, RA equip drops were removed (if they were ever there to begin with, not like there was any proof, except for the Chaos RA hats that hackers obtained) under similar circumstances, namely that the bosses were supposed to be impossible at the time, so the only people who could possibly get the drops would be hackers, so they just took out the drops all together.

Now that the bosses are much more possible to do, Nexon still has yet to add the drops back, due to not believing that they're doable, needing approval from higher ups, or to make more money off their gacha boxes and marvel machine. In any case, it's not all that difficult to add drops, as I've said before, when they added familiars to the game, they only added a few and made the rest available through their little booster pack, and within a week, after player complaints, decided to add the rest of the familiars to the drop table.
