What do you think is happening behind the scenes?

To add on, I can bet you Kim is at a drawing board with the devs to see what they're gonna do about this exploit.

Yeah, and in 5 more years, long after it's completely obliterated any sense of play-ability left in GMS, they'll finally release the fix for it.

Hai, WoW has the same problem.

There's thousands upon thousands of botters in WoW and majority of them aren't banned for months.

The only difference is that WoW has hundreds of thousands of gold selling companies trying to sell gold for like a hundred servers (I haven't played WoW in so long I have no idea how many servers they have at this point). You have so many botters that it's impossible to manage that many.

In GMS, you have what...15 servers? Not only that, you have the same exact people sending the same messages for months on end, sitting in the FM spamming messages, adding people to spam lists, etc. Ten months from now, you could log in and get messages from the EXACT SAME BOTS. In WoW they do ban, but the problem is that there's just too many. They don't even need spend resources registering more accounts for Nexon NA games, because Nexon NA never bans them. I bet if I still had the stream video I made when I played DN 6 or so months ago, I would see the same bots (by name) selling that I would see now.

As I believe Eos has said in another thread, you'll never be able to get rid of botting, but you can maintain it, if you just put some effort into it. Nexon NA doesn't.

And honestly, botting isn't even that big of an issue. It's just a compound on the other issues that Nexon NA games have. Botting is one thing. Hacking, duping, spawning items, that's all stuff that can be prevented if the company put the man power into it. If they really make their employees work so much overtime, there's really no excuse for the current status of any of their games.
