And let's not actually ban the people who HACK, or DUPE, or anything like that. Heaven forbid that we ban the people who do PB summons at LHC, and mess with the spawn. No, they are productive members of the Maple society, and that is in no way "power leveling."
Okay, I'll respond to ALL your posts at once, and I'll start with this: Would you be taking this stance if you were not directly involved (meaning, you didnt use this method to gain 20 levels or whatever you got from it)?
As Sarah and Rob have said, I never said ANYTHING about NOT banning those people. All I was saying is that banning idiots like you will make others in the future think twice about doing something that's grey or heck, against the rules of the game.
Since you're so insistent on having every single little detail, I'll give it to you:
If I ran Nexon's banning, I would...
1. Ban all the WH hackers, all the tele'ing mage hackers, asap. Tell me the fun in hacking, and getting banned every few hours, so you have to start over, rinse and repeat.
2. Issue a notice on the site, then ban everyone that has duped gear, bought duped gear, has possession of duped gear. Saying you didn't know doesn't cut it, and you are responsible for what you buy. The problem that most people have is that the dupers get away scotch free, while those who bought the items are suffering. Banning those who buy these items takes away from the market for them, and what's a duper going to do with his 50 duped 27 atk vsses? He can't wear all of them. Eventually, the dupers will be caught with hacked gears, and banned.
What I'm saying is that you gotta rule with an iron fist, or else no one is going to care. Make the consequences severe enough for people not to try. Make it so that the risk-reward factor is not worth it (so that the only risk you have in buying duped equips isn't just having it deleted, but rather a risk for the whole character you spent so much time and money on). Will this happen? Probably not. How will this affect Nexon financials and the usage of nx? I don't know, but I also don't care. That's nexon's business, not mine. However, take responsibility for what you're doing.
As Locked has said, everyone has probably participated or benefited from a glitch, either knowingly or unknowingly. I will say that I probably have as well. And if I get banned for it, I'd accept it. As Sarah has said in her post about the glitched tokens, she'd have accepted consequences had they come.
Both you and Sarah have admitted to being involved in glitches/exploits. You know what the difference is? She's mature enough to take whatever consequences Nexon may throw at her without whining and complaining. You on the other hand have exploited, and are JUSTIFYING it now. It doesnt matter if 30% of Basil will switch to hacking if they get banned by this or whatever the statistic is. Just man up, grow a pair and take responsibility for your actions. If you don't like it, well...then you should've thought about this BEFORE You spammed your up button.
And no, I don't care whether you get banned or not. Don't come flaunting to me afterwards going "HAHA LOOK I DIDN'T GET BANNED, YOU SUCKER". That wasn't my point.
I'm not implying that they shouldn't ban with priorities. I'm saying you should take a hard, no nonsense policy to it all. Look at Vancouver. You know why these riots happened? Because these people arent afraid of the slap on the wrist they're going to get. They've done this before 17 years ago. And what happened? Nothing. And those that got punished got a joke (prison for a few months, where conditions are better than living at home). I'm taking the same stance I'm taking on Vancouver over here as well: Punishment should be dished out hard, with no exceptions and no mercy. Otherwise, this'll keep happening. Wonder why maple story has been plagued with exploit after exploit, hack after hack? It's cause their punishment is a complete, utter joke to everyone.
