Nexon's costumer service and community relationship.

I know what happened, there was a pretty hefty thread about it within less than 6 hours of the start of it happening. Everyone knew very quickly, and those that still bought while knowing should face the consequences of their actions. Everyone knows Nexon handles dupes very badly, and a lot of people were wise enough to stay away completely. A lot of others decided it was the perfect time to upgrade their gear and it bit them in the ass.

Yes, duped no-boom AEE was the major issue. And what did people use duped no-boom AEEs on? Tyrant gear. Tyrant gear that would be in much smaller supply in the first place if there was no duping problem to begin with. Tyrant gear is supposed to be rare yet is everywhere in GMS. Why do you think that is? Even if this particular duping spree wasn't majorly Tyrant, most of the Tyrants that existed were already due to dupes. Directly or indirectly is irrelevant.

Above that, saying compensation should include Tyrants, even if they were never duped, is absolutely ludicrous.

While I really do agree with your hardball line, I must point out that Marvel machine and a few gold box and NX key style events spewed out Tyrant gear in GMS.
