I suspect that's at least half the reason nothing serious has gotten deleted yet.
Plus, how can you tell what was created legitimately or not? Maybe someone spent 500,000 NX on the items required to officially perfect scroll an item, with no cheated or hacked items at all. They would be furious if it was deleted because Nexon just decided it was hacked, because it "seemed to be."
Honestly at this point I'm not sure there's much they can do about the servers. There's too many variables to determine what's legitimate and what's not (outside of Item IDs, which has already been proven to be easily changed, and therefore deletions based on IDs will do little). Their best bet at this point to return some stability, is to fix ALL exploits, then open a few new servers and lock them out from Server Transfers (So people can't transfer in hacked gear). I know it's not exactly the best solution, however at this point there's really not much they can do. It is definitely their fault that it got this bad. Duping showed up in JMS for half a day and was fixed almost immediately, so it was certainly possible for Nexon NA to have done something about this from the start, but at this point they're screwed. The only solution is a "reboot," and since that would cause too many people to quit, they would have to create new isolated servers with fixed code.
