Off topic, or on topic, not even sure what the topic is now, but I'm sure there's strategy behind how they would approach deleting these things. If Nexon is going to delete actual gear, it will be all about timing. On a dead patch like Maple Anniversary, sure you can get away with deleting massive Protection, White, Innocent, and GM scrolls. But they wouldn't have gotten away with deleting equipment that any funded character on most servers own.
Can you imagine how many players Nexon would lose had they deleted everyone's shoes, face accessories, earrings, masks, weapons, and other stuff all in one server check? Note that Windia is pretty dead right now but it would probably be as dead as Yellonde if that happened.
Nexon is not going to do anything drastic right now. Maybe when Phantoms are released they will do something like that, cause people may be attracted to that content and forgive Nexon for deleting all their equipment (or maybe not).
This would be the dream come true of a small percentage of the player base but a nightmare for the norm, and Nexon is just too late to act now, and I think they know this too.
If they're willing to do it, kudos to them, and very ballsy. But it will take a few months to recover back their player base.
