Discussion about the new recent exploits.

The biggest problem with these exploits isn't how damaging they are. The biggest problems with these exploits is that, knowing Nexon America, they will remain in the game for weeks to months to probably even years. And the more exploits that exist that remain unfixed, the less incentive there is to play the game as a legit, which eventually leads to one of two things: going the hacker route or going the quitter route. Furthermore, these exploits mentioned in this thread are only the recent exploits. There's hundreds more out there that aren't getting fixed at all and even some that hurt Nexon's overall income.

I kind of feel like if any of this was truly detrimental to Nexon's income, they would have already attempted a fix. After all, they are a company first and foremost and generating revenue is their main focus. I also still firmly believe we are nowhere near that "breaking point" where majority of the player base would choose to quit over staying, due to the hacking community. When the game becomes inaccessible for days, when cash shop items vanish after purchase, when hackers begin finding exploits that will expose people's personal information or account information...Yeah, people may quit then. But I have found that while some people are concerned about the economy, majority of the people I play with don't really care about the latest few hacks--okay, so wild hunters level fast. Hackers have always found a way to speed their characters up. It's unfair, but it's not affecting you in any way. So they can see the potential. Who buys a hidden potential item in the market anyway? Always go for the magnified 3 liners!

Talking about what Nexon should do has been done to death, here and other places, ever since Nexon took over Wizet's job, and while it sounds good and we can shake our heads and all agree that it would be fantastic if Nexon would step up to the plate, history has proven that they are a pretty unreliable company in that aspect. The best thing we can do is note the exploits, alert Nexon of their occurances, hope Nexon actually pays attention for once, and go on with our lives. But ULTIMATELY, it is their choice how they want to run their company. If they choose to run it into the ground, well...sad for the players, but that's their choice.
