Hacking on Khaini was the biggest reason I left it a couple years back. Well that and generally anybody that wasn't a hacker was a KSer. But that's ancient history, so onto this topic!
Hacking will always be prevalent in online gaming because it simply reaps too many rewards for the little effort involved. Do people pay to have their lawns mowed? Some people do. Well then, why not pay for something that makes a game nearly effortless? The big conscious problem is that not everyone can afford/will do this on moral grounds. The majority of us think that there should be effort involved in obtaining a goal. And there is to certain people. The thing is that you should not compare yourself to or want to be that person who pays to mow the lawn or hacks a game because it lowers your standards and as such, your enjoyment. So compare yourself to the others that try and keep complaining for more maps/bans and hope that one day you and your trying comrades can live in peace and kill some LHC monsters in harmony =D
As for what Nexon could do that easier than keeping up bans forever is make every training map available to be done solo. No need to worry about map hackers if you can just do everything yourself.
