A Message About Your Game

...Read the last two setences. The point of my solution isn't just to simply do a wipe becuase I don't think nexon is capable enough because they understand shyt all of their game. FFS they think potential scrolls take slots. All they have to do is sit and have a criteria of items with 100's of enhancments and see morons flaunting them. They don't have to get rid of them, they have to make players afraid to use them to begin with. Right now players even consider it legitimate gear if they purchase it, and frankly why shouldn't they? They don't get banned and the only consequence is you get some smug legit talking down to you, big whoop.

With no consequence comes no fear or hesitation. Even if nexon is completely incabable of getting rid of them, they can ban the characters who use it, and obviously flaunt it. Seriously, any item above 400 attack should be outright deleted with the character. Sure they could hide them, but what's the point if they get banned for using them? The market of them crashes, hackers stop trying to dupe them, game somewhat gets back to normal.

Even if they are incabable of coding all they have to do is take some iniative within the game..

The problem with banning everyone that owns the items is that people can feign ignorance and nexon has to believe them that they did not know that the items were hacked, even if it is blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain, the people who just joined the game and did not know that it was a hacked item would have to suffer if they thought they were getting a good deal on an awesome weapon, That is why nexon is hesitant to ban anyone with these items because it would put too many "innocent" people in a situation that isnt fair to them if they did not know better. Yes i understand when you agree to a F2P game that you basically have no control over your character but you assume that the company does not use that to screw over the players, that's just not a good business model.

...Yes but what verification system? Korea uses social security numbers, and I was an advocate of us doign that as well until KMS got hacked and lost all that important information. The only thing I could think of is possibly what the big MMO's use, assuming nexon would want to start sending those out to every goddam player who makes a maple account. Should a free to play game be selling these to players who make it? Should they be keeping SS numbers? When you put FREE in any title it really means FREE OF ANY LIABILITIES IF YOU GET FK'D. Life lesson.

Personally my idea would be some sort of form that oyu have to fill in when you sign up, then when you are done, you have to wait in the mail for a verification number (Snail Mail, not E-Mail) that; once filled in, activates your account.

Or do what WoW does and offer free Verification Flash Drives. It'd make it easy to prove that your the owner of that account.
