They're so pineappleing worthless, jesus christ.

Quote: Honestly, if they cant find anything wrong on their end, what can they do? I agree a public statement of we are looking into the issue will be at the least comforting. I do firmly believe if something is found on their end people will be offered some form of compensation.
They can shut the game down until they figure out a proper solution to stop the hackings. ID changes for everyone, a new security set-up, something. And judging by Nexon's past compensation methods it would/will be something that benefits them more than anyone else. HERE'S SOME 2X FOR A MONTH, DON'T FORGET TO BUY A 2X CARD FOR 4X!!!
Quote:I dont understand how they are doing nothing but for themselves? I imagine they also don't want to cause a mass hysteria by releasing a public statement saying, you may be hacked change your password frequently.. or something along those lines This issue will take alot of investigating to determine the cause. Releasing false of half truth information cause the investigation isn't complete isn't going to help anything either
They have done nothing for anyone else so far and the only public statements so far have been Hime covering for them by repeatedly saying that the problem isn't on their end. Public hysteria is already here, people need to be made aware of what's going on so they can take that single step to protect themselves just a little bit further. The statement could easily read:
"Dear Maplers,
Recently we've encountered a rash of account attacks and we haven't been able to determine the cause but are looking into it and are determined to find the answer and bring those responsible to justice. In the meanwhile, in order to protect yourself, it's suggested that you log onto our website and change your password frequently.
We are sorry for this inconvenience and promise to solve this issue and take preventative steps in the future. Check back for news on compensation or more account safety tips."
Bang. I'm sure a professional could write something a little better but that's simply all that's necessary.
Quote:While this may pale in comparison, every time Nexon has been at fault for something they admitted and compensated people for it. The HT Pendents being hammerable ( I know thats not a word...) They said it was a mistake and will be rolled back, and they gave some form of compensation for it. The bigfoot glitch they said was a mistake do not abuse this glitch while we work to correct it. Later when they made Bigfoot super strong they said opps, our bad, we'll fix that. The monster book glitch they said was their fault and people were compensated for it, and of course patch delays they add 2x event for. While these pale in comparison They are examples of nexon admitting fault and comping players for their mistakes.
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Rarely does Nexon admit to their mistakes. The HT pendant issue was resolved quickly and kind of poorly because people were compensated for abusing a known glitch. But that's a pretty explosive topic so let's leave it. The Bigfoot glitch was fixed quickly because people were benefiting too much from it and it was costing Nexon money (if people level too fast they won't keep buying 2x cards.)
The Monster Book glitch was only addressed because I freaked out about it and wouldn't get off their case, I even got banned for harassing pepe (sorry pepe) because I was so angry. I am nearly positive that if I hadn't been on their back so hard that it wouldn't have been addressed so quickly. There were a few other people who were outraged but I don't feel it's all that ridiculous to take credit for that because I was relentless, much like I intend to continue being with this issue.
How about that elemental wand/staff glitch that went on for a year (twice, actually) and was never publicly addressed by Nexon? Eosian made a 30-some page topic in feedback that not a single staff member responded to and then coincidentally the next patch it was fixed. After a year. (Hint: it's not a coincidence). How about Nexon not addressing the fact that pirate's can't get battleship cannon right now after an entire patch (and now another new one!) without a fix or even an apology. How about every single pirate related issue that they've ignored despite so much criticism, begging and request for? For every good thing Nexon's addressed, there's a million things that they've done nothing about or kept us out of the loop on when they're important. We pay their bills, we deserve to know what the hell is going on.
Quote:I didnt get any sort of corporate limo ride back to my account at all. I did not have my email changed, they also have changed others emails in the past. Someone mentioned them doing so in this thread. Please dont think a GM came in game and hooked me up with equips, mesos or anything, I can assure you that didn't happen.
I wasn't implying that you got free stuff, sorry. Just that Hime immediately jumped at the chance to change your email address when so many others have been denied such a service. Two, five, ten people out of hundreds or thousands who have requested such a service actually getting their wish fulfilled doesn't indicate a positive trend, just a couple of lucky exceptions.
Quote:<sarcasm> Perhaps they are allowing this to happen to promote lock sales </sarcasm>
I know you're joking but this is exactly what's happening and it's pretty disgusting business practice. It's like asking someone to pay for use of a rope when they're hanging off a cliff.
Finally, to whomever banned my account: you won't shut me up. I request it be unblocked so I can continue addressing the situation that you are too neglectful to address yourself. I have done nothing wrong except voice my opinion on the situation, and that is not ban-worthy.
