As for me, I don't usually look at equipments, especially back then; I was more concerned with monsters, quests, whatever could possibly give some clues for NLC. When they were released in Gachapon, I remember there was quite a big to-do about them because they were untranslated. It was pretty obvious they shouldn't have been out yet. Again, at the time there weren't many active K/JMSers to say, "Hey, isn't that supposed to be an event item?" It may have even been added to the data during that awkward stage after Rick disappeared but before Fiel or myself or anyone else had stepped up to fill the void. If that's the case, it's no wonder we didn't catch it. It's also possible that no one made the connection between the nose the came out of Gach and the nose that showed up in the extraction since the one in the extraction was labeled as "time limited" and the ones in game don't show that. That's why I point to the Liar Saps as an important clue, because this is the only way to prove invariably in-game that these two apparently distinct items are one and the same.
Anyways, last few:
When the Gachapon noses were released, didn't people extract the data? They would have seen the time-stamp on the ones in the Gachapon, so how come nobody said anything about it? Also, assuming the extractations did occur, how come nobody saw the INT, DEX, and LUK versions? Finally, if ALL the Gachapon noses are glitches, do you think Nexon will eventually delete them all or leave them? (example of leaving them: in MSEA, when Scarlion helmets became improved, many players got to keep their old ones)
As far as what Nexon will do, they'll probably quietly remove it from gachapon and that'll be the end of it. I don't imagine they'll announce about it or anything. I guess the other possibility is that they could make an exchange NPC and, once the event is over, render the permanent gachapon noses unwearable (level 201 requirement or 999 of all stats or something). This would force the people with such noses to go to the exchange NPC and turn in the glitched Nose for a regular level 40 Branch Nose. Don't think it's likely, but it could happen.
