I'm still not sure I quite understand these yet. What is their purpose? You can place a lock on an item for a set amount of time, then what? It just gets released after that time? So are they meant to protect your items for the amount of time you set it for? What good comes out of doing this?
Say you were hacked (by your own stupidity or something not under your control) the hacker will not be able to drop or trade a locked item? Well cant they just delete your character, thus removing the locked item? How exactly is that protecting it? Seems useless... What's next? Paying 1000 NX to report someone?
Lets just think for a second here, though. Is this one of Nexon's measures against hacking? So they are basically telling us we need to pay to protect our items and chars because of their flawed system? wut?
If anything these locks shouldn't exist. Instead there should be a universal lock that is available to anyone at anytime (for free, obv) that will lock your entire char meaning it cannot be deleted, no items/mesos/nx can be used/dropped whenever this lock is set in place. You can set a password in order to use this lock and set it to lock your char at any time for any amount of time. (eg. set it so it always locks your char when you log off)
But why should we have to do all this? Implementing this is like saying Nexon's security is extremely compromised by any hacker and now have to resort to this sort of thing.
I don't play too many other MMORPGs so I don't know but for example, is WoW like this? Surely people cannot be hacking in WoW like hackers do in MS. Or even if they do, I'm sure Blizzard fixes problems within minutes. But when people hack constantly in MS (boss capture, IRM) and even blatantly continuous ongoing vaccing in the open, on display, like sitting ducks for GMs to see (christmas tree event). Nothing gets done. I'm sort of a little dumbfounded by everything.
They even mention in updates and blogs that only good things are to come to MS and are totally ignoring the fact that hacking is spreading like wildfire but they just shrug it off without addressing anything whatsoever. The only time I ever heard of Nexon stepping up and doing something to remedy a hacking attempt was when there was that meso glitch that had to do with donations or something, they had to rollback all the servers. I'm still a little surprised they even did this. Don't they just normally say "Meh... we will just let it sort itself out."
Any other thoughts?
