Ok, let's look at what happened here.
1. Nexon announces the patch.
2. The contents of the patch are discovered and released. This is when most people found out that Bigfoot could be poisoned.
3. People speculate as to whether being able to poison Bigfoot is intentional.
4. Nexon implements the patch.
5. Many people kill Bigfoot, both with and without poisoning or webbing it.
6. About a week later, Nexon finally announces that Bigfoot is glitched. They do not, however, say what the glitch is, so anybody that doesn't visit forums or obsess about the game has no idea what they're talking about.
7. People mostly stop killing Bigfoot. Most of those who do still kill it make sure not to use poison or web for fear of being banned.
8. After another few days, Nexon "fixes" Bigfoot by nerfing the exp, rather than actually fixing it.
9. Now barely anyone kills Bigfoot, and pretty much everyone that still does, kills it without poison or web, and just kills it for the toe and never goes back.
10. After *another* few days, Nexon bans hundreds of people, supposedly for abusing the glitch.
They knew Bigfoot was screwed up before they ever even implemented the patch. They knew about the problems through people bitching about Yellonde people abusing it, within about a day of it being released. They knew, yet they did nothing, didn't even announce anything for about a week. Even once they did, they never once bothered to tell anyone what specifically wasn't allowed at Bigfoot, and they never told people to stop killing it entirely. And still, even after this, they did nothing. Then they finally took some action, yet all they did was nerf the exp and did nothing to actually fix the problem. Then they still did nothing. Then they jumped direction to the mass bans of mostly legit people.
They had a ridiculous amount of time to fix the problem. Frankly, a problem so incredibly simple should not have ever even existed in the first place. Even so, they had ample opportunities to deal with it, yet they chose to do absolutely nothing. And now they've banned all these people, and guess what.
THEY STILL HAVEN'T EVEN FIXED BIGFOOT!
Whoever is in charge of hiring new programmers for Nexon needs to stop hiring kids out of middle school that have no experience and don't even know one full programming language.
