Though, really, there's been a pretty big increase in hacking since Big Bang was implemented, at least in Bera. I could name a handful of maps right now that have been riddled with hackers since Big Bang.
It's not my fault Nexon can't hire programmers with a proper education, degree, and certification to actually implement better security than what they have done. It's also not my fault that they never listened to the community, when the community (mostly at Nexon's own forums) are filled to the brim with exp whores, trolls, and degenerates who blast anyone with a good idea, or Nexon goes all Nazi on anyone who challenges their system and structure.
Myself and others like me have told them for well over 5 years how to beef up the security of the game, or at least front some better ideas for them, and they won't even listen or budge off their stump.
And what do we as a community get in return? Rollbacks, false bans, glitches, and more hackers than ever before.
Add in Nexon's inept failure to shutdown GK and others like them only adds to their list of bad ideas and complete failures. I know no game can be 100% hacker free, but Nexon should be able to detect a hack in a few days and patch it and prevent it from happening again at least for a few weeks. Do they? Hell no! Look at how many hackers we've had since 0.48 was out and the numbers have kept growing and growing since then each time. Hell Ecko hacked a GM account, though partially at fault of the GM, even after we had the PIC implementation.
I've been probably permanently banned from the Nexon forums for speaking out against Nexon's failed, stupid, and inept policies regarding security, additions, and overall content management, but it's not my fault they can't take negative criticism and grow better from it. They've been in such a race to catch up to KMS, they failed to notice what else was going on around them. It's not my fault the community has been clogged with nut jobs who could care less about doing things slowly and correctly, and want meaningless things yesterday.
If anything Nexon needs to just stop all content updates and focus on securing them game and wiping out hackers and the hacks they use and releasing security patches and start moving things more towards dynamic content of a 25% client to 75% server based game rather than 10% server and 90% client based game. We only need a client to get content from the server and play the game. We shouldn't have all these .WZ files at all. I've noticed at least one distro that uses a maplestory.lib file to use dynamic content.
