I might be closed minded for not reading the majority of replies, but I'm just going to say what I have to say..
Nexon, in my opinion, truly cares for players and the sake of the game, especially in the case of what's going on.
They've been on break, and quite frankly; whether the hack lasted a week, or a day, it's still just as bad. If they addressed it a long time ago, or now, we're still affected by it either way. If you, as an employee or even head of a corporation, on vacation, you would exemplify the same kind of behavior and relax for the time you have off. This isn't really anything new. There's always a new exploit, and even though they're different, it's all the same to me. Banning a plethora (or most of the Maple population..) of players or rolling them back wouldn't be smart, thinking from a business-perspective, because it would afflict the 'legit' players who spend money and time on Maple. You can go ahead and disregard this claim and call it stupid, but if Nexon didn't care, they wouldn't bother giving us the extra events that we're getting now (which I really appreciate). It's funny how people think that just because this exploit is merely an edited .wz file, the GMs wouldn't catch and ban them. They can detect "off" or abnormal signals in the game, such as mass killing; it's not like they go to each map stalking players, invisibly. Massive amounts of people have been banned, it's just that the majority of the hackers don't want to admit it because they're in denial about being caught and banned as well; they're molding this new exploit into a virtual paradise that fulfills their Maple needs. You just have to look around and see for yourself.
The same kind of idealism goes for the item dups and hacks. The economy really isn't anything new to me in particular, from a player's point of view. In fact, essentially, most games have this kind of economy, and there will always be someone to corrupt it in some kind of way. Supply and demands for various items are always fluctuating, and over time, those demands will override the hacks and exploits. This is basically why I could care less about this hacking. We're most likely, all, going to end up in the same spot; banned or not banned; whether you're a hacker, or not a hacker.
