Lloyd Korn shuts down MapleStory hackers.

I don't see how you can state that hackers help the community though.

Why do you think stuff inflates? It's because of supply and demand. When more meso comes into the game, stuff inflates. How does more meso come into the game? Wolf Spiders drop mesos? What? Meso-Sellers? What?

Hackers bot at Wolf Spiders on every channel (or at least they used to). Yes they make many mesos just from the drops, which does cause inflation because the value of the meso is decreased and because there is then more money circulating. I know economics.

I was talking about the deflation aspect. I did mention that they are both good and bad for the game. I never said they were only good. I know they are bad because they do cause inflation and they steal channels and stuff.

However, they are good because their botting finds an abundance of rare items, which causes deflation, which helps the average buyer. This sucks for merchants, but is good for the average player. That is why hackers can be seen as helpful and not helpful at the same time.
