GM hacked?

Jon's ban was actually a great thing.

Jon got banned because he logged onto someone elses account. This means that Nexon keeps a log of all IPs as they access accounts, which means that technically they have no reason to not have the people who have been stealing from others accounts. It's been speculated that Nexon doesn't keep such logs, but clearly Jon wasn't on the account when Nexon took action, the hacker was, and that means his IP was logged.

Nexon has no reason to not be dealing with all hacked accounts in the same way, especially because we now know that they can.

The issue is that, heavy handed as Nexon is, they're liable to screw that up as baddly as they're screwing up the CURRENT round of IP bans.

Take my situation for example. Main reason I still play Maple is because of all the IRL's I have that still play the game. I'll occasionally bring my laptop to their home(s) and we'll do a boss run or some such from there. Knowing nexon, if they started monitoring IP changes, there's a good chance that something would go horribly wrong in that situation or any number of other issues of traveling maplers. If on the other hand they were responsible about it and only started blocking IP's when wrongdoing was reported, then that might work. But frankly I don't have that much faith at this point...
