Coin Exploit

Nexon don't need to limit or complicate the ability to create accounts. What they need to do is prevent hacks.

1) Don't trust the client. I mean, for crying out loud! Every single hack and exploit in this game is the result of the server blindly accepting whatever the client (perverted by hackers) tells it. They really should have learned better by now.

2) Limit NPC interactions. Allow one NPC interaction every 2 seconds. After 100 interactions, a 10-minute cooldown. This would mean that even if an exploit is found, it can't be botted too fast.

3) Keep an eye on the game. And the forums. Find some trusted community representatives and give them a phone number to call. It's absurd that when a hack goes public and *everybody* in the game knows about it, Nexon's own forums are full of hysterical messages, tickets are being logged left and right - and Nexon is oblivious because -Hime-'s not at her desk and nobody else is paid to care.

4) Code automated health monitors. Make things like an unusually big rise in total meso in the server, or number of people in towns, or characters created per hour, raise a red flag.

5) Lurk hacking sites. Pay for VIP membership. Keep developers whose #1 priority is to patch exploits. Make it so any hack that isn't kept strictly secret by its creator, has an expected lifetime of just a few hours.

I'm sure there are other measures that could be implemented. But first Nexon has to be made to care. Like, to understand hacking costs it money. Seems it doesn't.
