A Message About Your 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.

Ignorance is not an excuse, and the business model you say they frown upon is pretty much applied anyway, in fact worse. Examples include chaos scrolls, mesos, and certain instances of duped items. Sorry but if a player can afford it they most likely know why it's so expensive and not easily made.

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.

You mean like hotmail/gmail/yahoo and every other service you ever sign up for uses? First off you're asking someone to wait nearly 2-4 weeks for a letter in order to play a game.

As for the flash drive, you have to remember that's an investment nexon has to make or offer as an option to maplers. Then people will complain its a free to play game with paid security. Though as I say that it sounds pretty good, but also as I previously said I agree with that plan as well.
