How's the current hacking/duping situation?

I'd say it seems to be more contained, but still far from perfect. It's mostly bugs and glitches Nexon created themselves that makes it pretty annoying. But yeah, there are no real secure way to to get NX ingame.

There is however one other thing ... There are permanent CS/NX equipment from the Surprise Style Cash Box that are somehow able to get duped. They include items such as Frog capes and ink rings. It can include any permanent cash items that are able to be placed in a shop. You should be wary when buying them because buying the dupe ones may disappear on you when you log out, change channels, or going into the CS/MTS, sooner or later. I'm still seeing these in the FM for cheap prices, and reading/hearing it from people that they are still poofing... Nexon seems to have acknowledged it, but nothing has been done yet. But that's about it.

The permanent CS item duping was one night three or four weeks ago and was quickly fixed with a USC. I haven't seen or heard anything about it since.
