Unicorns Wrote:Banning would be a tough line to cross, because I'd imagine that the first few people who found this exploit didn't necessarily have ill intentions, they just tried to sell back a cube to see what would happen. Also, it's not as if they used an illegal programs to do this, and you can't really blame children playing an online game to have a lapse of integrity and take advantage of a Nexon screwup.
Not to say that what these people did is excusable, but I believe that it would be very difficult to ban people without a quarter of them being unfairly banned.
It's not really that hard. Create a requirement that determines if they're clearly exploiting a glitch/bug or not. That's it. "Did they abuse this glitch at least 5 times? If so, ban." This glitch is about getting cubes from the cash shop when they shouldn't be available, right? So everyone who has massively cubed gear, or an excessive number of cubes in their inventory is clearly abusing this glitch. Sure, there can be some edge cases, but Customer Service exists for a reason and should be able to handle it.
It's a little harsh, I agree, but there has to be a line. Right now, there isn't one. There's absolutely nothing that will happen to me if I were to have abused this glitch. So why wouldn't I? The only thing that stops me is that I have a moral compass and it directs me away from abusing glitches. Nothing in the game prevents me from doing it, and nothing the administration of the game does is preventing me from doing it. There's not even the question of, "What if I get banned?" I won't. Because Nexon never bans people unless they commit unspeakable acts (or Nexon pineapples up), of which glitching and abusing glitches is not included.
I know I'm being pretty demanding about it, but one of the reasons I don't normally even play this game anymore is because there's no proper management. This is the thousandth time there's been a thread or server shutdown over some serious problem in the game. Nexon never does anything about it. If they want to Reboot MapleStory, they have to start with Rebooting themselves. They need to get an iron fist and start smashing people in the face with it. Right now, I see nothing that makes me really want to play Reboot, because the management is still piss-poor. I expect bugs, and I expect glitches. It's an old game, and Nexon is infamous for not fixing them. But what I also expect is that Nexon takes proper action. They should be banning offenders, forever. They'd make more money off people believing that the game is worth their time and money than they lose from the glitchers and cheaters who also buy.
