Coin Exploit

That really irks me. How the hell can a person know if an item was bought from a legitimate seller? There's no way to tell a legitimate seller from an illegitimate seller in the FM. So why punish people for something they couldn't possibly avoid or tell the difference? If I played the game, I would be nervous to buy anything from the FM because I could be banned willy nilly for something I didn't know I was doing wrong.

True fact.

I believe they think the average player can distinguish based simply on inventory size and price.
I.e. if someone has 1000 Chaos Scrolls set to 1m each.

pomegranatety system though.
Might be better to, you know, anticipate hacks instead of patching them.

This isn't an intrinsic problem with the game. This is a problem with the COMMUNITY and the DUMBASSES who think they'll get away by taking advantage of hacker schemes. (You don't have to use forums to know this was CLEARLY a hack related problem. Look around the FM for 5 f'ucking seconds and tell me all that stuff was legit. I and everyone else will laugh in your face.) Hackers are going to win regardless. This is the truth. But they won't if the rest of us use COMMON F'UCKING SENSE like me and Locked who didn't touch those damn scrolls and will be fine because of it.

This, this, and more this.

I have a friend who is whining that he's getting screwed cause he bought hundreds of Chaos Scrolls for 500k each.
Um, what?

He knew that they were illegit and he knew Nexon was going to take action.
That's just stupid to complain after trying to exploit the situation.

Personally, I didn't play all weekend, just to be completely safe, which is quite annoying considering I want to level my TB.

I can suggest one way of stopping people from hacking, hire a full-time attorney, and start suing everyone that does. Or at very least, mail out cease and desist letters, I'm sure their parents won't be happy to find that in their mail.

That's unfeasible.
Going after individual script kiddies is a losing battle.
Cease and desist letters don't mean pomegranate and will just cost money to track down the accounts, locate the users, and send the letters.

What they can do is go after sites like GK and W8 that make money by selling access to the hacks.
The reason hacks are so prominent is because people have turned it into a pineappleing business.
