I believe rollback is the only feasible solution right now.
If they'd shut down the servers 24 hours ago or so, when Windia's smegas started to scream "meso duping", they *might* have been able to surgically undo just the transactions involving duped meso.
But now, after the money has changed hands so many times, the items sold and resold and mts'ed and dueyed and muled... no chance of catching any of the actual hackers, just hurting a lot of innocent people.
Nobody likes a rollback, but at least it returns the game to a consistent state, and makes sure the hackers keep none of their illicit gains. Some 2x and maple points should pacify most of the population.
