People act like this is the end of maple. This hack doesn't even affect anyone. The familiar hack is more serious.

But it sure is kicking the dog around.

I didn't deny they would be MTSed. I didn't guarantee they would all be flushed from the database either.

The hackers wouldn't make the items if it didn't mean USD for them. Nexon would delete them if it didn't mean USD for them, too.

This is what it all amounts to. It's getting nexon more money because retarded fucking players actually buy these obviously illegit items with hundreds of dollars in pre-paid NX. And that's music to Nexon's ears. It's all about the money. Always has been with Nexon America.

It's funny, i play this game completely solo. I don't do party quests, i don't do pvp, i don't do bossing or any of that crap, i just play because i enjoy playing. Hell, i never even use the free market unless it's absolutely necessary.

Some hackers made some hacked items, so what? it doesn't affect me. It's not the "end" of GMS because a few unlegit people have hacked gear. You are all exaggerating.

Yeah i want Nexon to fix it, but it isn't going to stop me playing in my own way in the meantime.

Unfortunately for shadowers and Dual Bladers, SFC made 255 Kataras/Daggers so x_x

Any 255 dkhanjars out there yet?

People act like this is the end of maple.

It is for me.
As I've stated in a previous forum:

 Spoiler

No, I'm not advising anyone else to leave this game but I'm going to give my reason for considering it.

After playing and going through the various glitches/exploits in Maplestory over the years, I could care
less about someone being stronger than me, having a greater advantage, or being able to make more money.

I've recently seen players easily get past 15x through the familiar hack when it has taken me more than
four years to do so and yet I still looked forward to participating in future Maplestory updates such as Demon Slayers or Union.

However, all of that anticipation was gone when hackers began to smega their newly hacked equips yesterday.

Maplestory has gotten to the point where hackers can proudly display their actions without fear of consequence
and this was done after Nexon returned from their holiday break...

Does anyone remember Min Kim's promise for GMS stated in November of 2011?:

http://maplestory.nexon.net/News/News.as...ageIndex=1

Min Kim:

We hope you can put your faith in us to bring you the play you deserve.

I feel that what happened yesterday is the final challenge to Nexon in keeping their word of why we should
continue playing or spend money on an already broken product.

Since they can no longer provide us the 'play' we deserve, I fail to see why I should continue to put my 'faith' in Maplestory.

That's the reason why I'm going to quit if this goes unanswered.

I don't see a reason in playing a game the company no longer cares about.

Am I really expected too....
Train in ******g garbage places cause you wont fix a simple ******g file edit?

No, because a fix is in the works and we're having the GMs step up their patrol.

At least it has some vague resemblance to an official statement. Vague.

Oh, and her response to the non working 2x drop event:

Blah, sorry, guys. I've reported the situation to the team. x-x

Nexon can definitely reverse those items, they did it for HTP's back when hammers got released and people scrolled 5x stat HTP's.

Sad part is some of those items were protected by people who shoved the HTP's into Storage since Nexon apparently doesn't check the Storage for dupes/exploited items.

They did, but only for people who used two hammers, those who used one hammer escaped under the line (since an HTP could be chaosed).

The parallel thought is this: if nexon sets a line to say this is reasonable, and wipes out everything above it the line will be pretty high to hopefully allow all the heavy cash users who made a legitament equip to not be affected by their clean sweep (if they even do one). There are doubtless some "smart" hackers who figure this might happen and have some lessor equips that don't look too impressive but are much better than available now to the average mapler. Bring those out after the clean sweep and sell for lots.

just get the 255atk maple shield :f6:

I'm not asking about it to BUY it, I don't condone hacks.
Or play GMS.

At least it has some vague resemblance to an official statement. Vague.

Oh, and her response to the non working 2x drop event:

GM patrol is now 2 I guess? aha

At least there's something in the works though May not have to quit now..unless*waits and sees*

She also confirmed a fix for the Evan SP glitch
Hime: "Hey Evans, after testing and identifying the cause of the issue, a fix will applied during our next scheduled server maintenance for the NX Mastery Book skills that were affected by a SP reset scroll. More details will most likely be available on the maintenance message. Thank you."

- http://maplestory.nexon.net/Community/#%...y.%2Fpage3

Hime's acknowledged the issues multiple times on the forums & twitter, but it doesn't seem like they're gonna shut maple down like Mabinogi.

If you ask me, expect an unscheduled maintenance sometime today/friday. Doubt they'll leave it in this state over the weekend.

Oh, and her response to the non working 2x drop event:

Sheesh they really were completely gone for the holidays.

Sheesh they really were completely gone for the holidays.

Well, yeah. http://www.nexon.net/corporate/careers/benefits/

From a Business concern standpoint, this is a dumb move. Winter holidays is their second biggest peak after the Summer holidays. Why would they wanna be understaffed for that?

From the employee standpoint, getting a full week off for Christmas is great.

Quoting this Min-Kim dude: Since 2007 I’ve been working on things like our prepaid cards, marketing, and free-to-play evangelism efforts. Unfortunately, that has taken me away from what I enjoy most – working on our games and services.

JUST MAKE THE PINEAPPLING GAME BETTER!
It really is about the money with Nexon America... why can't the KMS team just come over here. I haven't seen GM's EVER since like 2008 or so. Donde esta?

At least it has some vague resemblance to an official statement. Vague.

Oh, and her response to the non working 2x drop event:

That statement refers to the familiar hackings, not the hacked equips. Far as I've seen, they've made no statement about these equips.

At least it has some vague resemblance to an official statement. Vague.

Oh, and her response to the non working 2x drop event:

"In the works" is nice. When will it be finished? After all the 2x events, of course, during which we will have to, as bobbort put it, train in garbage places.

Also the 2x drop... she'll report it... might be fixed in time to give us two days of 2x drop out of a promised 2 months. But who's counting?

I totally agree with you. It seems Nexon has a huge fear of spending money on Human Resources. Personally, I think it's dumb, because I believe customer service is of utmost importance for any Service business. But Nexon sees (huge) revenues, and therefore doesn't feel the need to invest in more HR (beyond essential staff).

What they could (and should) do, though, as a more cost-effective solution, would be to really up the ante on their anti-hacking automatic tools. For example, the auto-ban system could get a major face-lift. They need to setup more complex parameters that could potentially catch things like the familiar hack, or duping and enhancement hacks.

Additionally, stronger account security is an absolute must for Nexon. These are things that could be developed in Korea, thereby not requiring too much man-power from Nexon America.

At the end of the day, though, I think the best (virtually free) thing they could do is COMMUNICATE. Honestly, they are clearly aware of their issues. All it takes is a small "We know. It will take a while, but we know, and we will fix it" on the main website. But for whatever reason, Nexon feels it's better not to acknowledge any of their issues until they absolutely have to.

We have a 24/7 team so patrolling never stopped. I've simply asked for the patrolling to be more concentrate on certain abusive behaviors.

If a forum worker need to direct these "in-game" GMs.... Ah ha ha.

This ^^^
And maybe hire some people who actually play MapleStory on a regular basis. I would work for Nexon for minimum wage if it meant telling them what the hell is wrong with their own game. What on earth are they even doing over there? Don't they get 90% of the updates from Korea and just translate them to English... fix a few things and whatnot?
