In essence, I don't see how proof of these items being obtainable is going to majorly impact the survival of this game, when these items, like every other item in the game, were supposed to be dropping anyway. How is it better to just let everyone believe Nexon still hasn't fixed probably one of the most hated glitches to ever exist?
The only monopolization on these equips have been, and will be, by hackers. I've told people I could trust that they drop to try and help them out. I personally don't care about my own meso income, it was my undercutting that caused the hackers to slash their prices (with angry comments) twice. And they were stupid about it anyway. At best, if there's a 2x event and we are lucky, cami and I can get 5 tops and one hat/pants. Hardly anything compared to a hackers' bajillion mules.
Proof of these aren't going to make a difference, this game is already past the point of no return. Now that there is solid proof (like there wasn't anyway), any little kid can click a few buttons, hold down a key, and get these drops on several characters that it took you a party of five multiple attempts to kill. But it's been that way for a while. It was nice not having that with RA, even if it was only a month.

If anything hackers will inflate the economy by producing more meso flow, hence the need of rising the max mesos cap to 10b, or dupe/hack rare items making them widely available, and at worst, they will KS or DC hack you, those 2 being the only annoying things for me.
IMHO, Nexon has done more harm to the game than hackers have.
Someone have mrtouchngo's hacking fallacy blog? I remember meso influx/duping being two of the points on there.
Yeah, nexon has pineappleed up a lot and continues to do so. I feel it's down to the community to make little parts better when we can.
========================
Alright, there's clearly two sides of this argument and I've said how I feel. Going to bed now so if anyone wants to argue finer points with me, do it through PMs and I'll get back to you tomorrow.
