Another "how can this game be saved" thread? And from KhainiWest? *rubs eyes* and it's not even April 1st anymore....
On topic: People hack because they can. Same as downloading copyrighted content. The whole "the companies are too greedy" is cognitive dissonance justification. The real reason is that it's easy.
KMS has the same paywall issues, and they don't have such rampant hacking, why? Because over there, if you get caught hacking, the penalties are harsh. In GMS, it's barely an inconvenience.
Nexon America needs to learn how to catch hackers (hint: more clueless outsourced GMs, who barely know enough about the game to ban bots, is not the way to do it) and be harsh about chain-banning all their accounts and those of people who buy from them or party with them.
Of course at the same time they must give good service to legitimate players, especially when dealing with false bans (and no, that doesn't mean unbanning anyone who manages to get into the chat queue and ask for it), or they'd scare both hackers and legits away.
