If they were doing their jobs, there would BE no hacking, or anything. I don't see the sense of congratulating the GMs for doing SOMETHING, when their job is to do that something all the time and effectively. It's like your broken umbrella stopping one raindrop while the other 20 million soak you through. You'll want a new umbrella.
Nexon doesn't ban hackers because it gets $$$ like this and employing more people would cut profits from their pockets. If the only way to make good $$$ off Maple would be to hire a sizeable force of labor, they'd have to do it.
Also, to be perfectly blunt, there are very credible PLAYERS who don't hack, scam or any of that crap. Nexon could spend some effort, (like that'll ever happen,) identifying them and giving them volunteer GM jobs in exchange for some pay or even just NX or meso incentives. Gaia Online does this, it has over 100 unpaid moderator volunteers, and all trolls and scammers get nuked. I personally think someone like ExtremeBeast or KhainPriest, who are known by my whole d@mn server and who have been playing for like 3 years, would make better GMs than some random guy unfamiliar with Maple who got hired off the street and knows nothing about the game or its community. Some people are so obsessed with Maple that they play it like 18 hours a day. To them, this would be something they'd love doing, and it would be a legitimate job, where otherwise they are unemployed and not benefitting off Maple at all.
