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.
Instead they hemorrhage players who aren't willing to buy from hackers and don't want to play a game where they're permanently doing 1/4 or 1/10 as much damage as those who are, and where all the endgame content is limited to hackers.
Low scrolling probabilities are the reason duping is such a huge issue. Sure, you can have a thousand SoJs in D2, but the benefit of that item is nothing on a hacker with a 700 w.atk Stonetooth because Nexon adds such ridiculous scrolls. If there were no EEs, Chaos, or 10%s, hackers couldn't have 700 atk items, they'd have similar gear as everyone else, ideal scrolling +18 attack (9 60%s) is not a gamebreaker, +100 attack (9 20%s, 12 AEEs - any item over ~87 base attack) is.
