Hacked Items

lol youre explanation confused me

but youre point is still the same

on average it takes 10 10% scrolls to land one

7 slots

equals 70 scrolls

on average --- please dont go into seperate events blah blah blah




rather then using a hypothetical the thread starter should have used a specific example ---

bera right now -- several players hack ht constantly and are known for it-- browsing fm you find one of their stores -- if you buy from this shop are you considered illegit

i wouldnt buy from this store -- i know they are hackers -- i wont support it -- but thats based off my own morality --

illegit -- i dont think so -- but....meh

My point remains the same, even in a specific example, no one else will know that it was bought from a hacker unless you, or the friends you tell blurt it out to everyone. Even still, if you guys wish the question answered, then no it's not illegit. Even further, chances are that the hacker will eventually be banned, and thus this removes mesos from the server, which is a PLUS, not a minus. Plain and simple, if you earn your mesos legit, and you trained your character legit, it's down to only your own morals as to whether or not it's okay to buy those items, and if you choose to, you are not illegit, because, first of all, the prices tend to be about the same, if only a few mil difference, so the items WOULD indeed be there either way. The only time this isn't true is in duping situations, and in that case, well... you're still legit, it's not necessary for you to concern your self with such things.

As for the white scroll thing, it doesn't take a math genius to know, that if something has a 10% chance of working, it'll work 1 out of 10 times on average, and if you have 7 slots to use the item on, on average all 7 slots will pass withing 70 scrolls. I added 30 more for good measure.

EDIT: If it is such a big deal that a legit buys an illegit item, then what is it when an illegit buys a legit item from a legit? Is it not the same. You could argue that if you set up a shop you have no ability to choose who buys, but the fact is it's just an excuse, you know damn well that a hacker could buy your items, so shouldn't you just not sell them in a shop? It's the same, as most of the time, you have no ability to differentiate between hacker and legit, unless you stereotype the hell out of everything, in which case, it screws both legits, and hackers.
