Warning for future GS

Before I start off the story, let me say that even though this may be pirate related, it's mostly account related, and I wanted to share it with the general. If however this is mostly a pirate thing, please move this thread to the pirate section

Today, I maxed out my wings skill and recoil shot, and I still had about 30 minutes until I had to go to school. I watched a video of a person that was able to get on top of the wooden shack thing in Henesys using the two skills, and wanted to try it as well. Once I got on top of it, A lot of people were amazed, and wanted to see me do it again, or give them mesos. I thought this was in a way pretty funny, so I sat down in a chair, and opened a card game saying Afk, leave a message. Well, when I come home, I find out that my account has been permanently banned for hacking.

I think I'm to blame a little, since for the most part your not suppose to get up there, but it's still very upsetting since I was playing on Demethos, so now I'm losing out on the 2x exp and I invested a lot of nx into him.
So here's the warning, don't do what I did, it'll get you banned...

Edit: My account was brought back and it only took a day to fix, good job nexon =D

Well, leaving your character on the top of a place where you could only come with hacking in the past isn't that smart. The only moments you should be on that shack is when there aren't that much people around and you shouldn't stay there for more than 1 minute straight, and if you want to be on it longer, you should just hop on and of every now and then. Going AFK outside of the CS isn't that smart anyway, since you'll never know what will happen when you're away.

The GMs will have to learn that it is now possible >_>

Log a ticket explaining the situation VERY CLEARLY and hope you'll get a repeal!

Ooh, thanks for the heads up. I just started putting points in Wings yesterday.

And once again Nexon proves they don't even know what's going on in their own game.

Sorry you're gonna have to suffer due to their stupidity.

That is outrageous. I really hope you get unblocked.. Though I doubt you ever will.

Well, I'm sorry but how would a GM know the different between him hacking up there and him getting up their legitly, without seeing him get up there?

Post a ticket, explaining how you got up there, but wait, wtp, permanent ban?

wat

This is freaking stupid. God, Nexon are such idiots!

Hope you get unbanned.

Wow, this is just stupid. i always thought that to get banned by a GM he must actually see you hacking. guess i was wrong again :\

Well, a GM could have at least checked the class of the person that was up there. (I believe it's also possible for CBs to get up their by having a hacker fly up there, use a summoning bag, and then the CB can assaulter his/her way onto that shack.) If it was a GS or a CB, then perhaps the GM could suspect that it's due to skills, assuming GMs even know how game mechanics work.

Wow looks like Nexon failed....AGAIN! Yea log a ticket and hope for the best. They should unban you.

How about a hacking Gunslinger?

Guys; if you were running a game, would you rather be thinking 'oh, he is of this class, and they can get up there if they try, but hackers also reside up there a lot, let's leave a certain class up there although that person may have hacked up there'

or will you think that everyone up there = possible hacker.

Better to be safe than sorry

Yep pretty much. Just because he's a gunslinger doesn't automatically get him off the hook from being a hacker. Not accusing you of hacking though.

Also due to the class, Nexon should have just monitored the character instead of assuming it was a hacker right away. If it was say a warrior or something, then yea that's understandable.

But Nexon does let a lot of hackers just slide, when they're doing things that are far more OBVIOUSLY hacking. They should be tough on hackers, but they're usually pretty fail, so succeeding in this situation is absurd. Furthermore, before they PERMABAN a character whose situation might be legit, a better company would have looked into it/warned first. I don't think that there's anything wrong with using your skills to do something cool, even if it is something that hackers can also do. Nexon definitely should have known better.
On the plus side, I have been un-perma-banned when I pointed out their idiocy at one point before, so don't give up. ._.

Well, Nexon lets the most obvious hackers slide or give them temp bans (ie. the ones using summon hacks or FM AC-ers).

In this case he wasn't even hacking. Even if he did hack and get up there, does harmlessly sitting up there do anything to the game? The GM should have checked his class and given him the benefit of the doubt instead of permanently banning him. It's ridiculous that he got such a harsh punishment.

Yeah.

Not the same thing.

All those things are something which can't be helped, they aren't the user's fault.

Getting up there is by choice, maybe the GM which banned him didn't know Gunslingers could get up there legitly? If this is the case, the GM should be given a warning to only temp ban for a day for this, or something, because they shouldn't allow a class to do it because they can legitly, because people would abuse this in just making a gunslinger to hack up there.

Yes, there is a problem with hackers getting up there, it's showing there's an exploit in the game's protection program (gameguard), which can be seen to show weakness, and a company doesn't want that, do they?

SURE, OFC, NEXON HAS WEAKNESSES, WE ALL KNOW THAT. ALL COMPANIES HAVE WEAKNESSES. NEXON IS THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND A HACKING EXPLOIT EVERY SO OFTEN. DONT LIKE IT, GO PLAY SOMETHING ELSE.

If this is how Nexon want to run their business, let them. You're not forced to buy NX. It's not a law, nor does it give you extreme benefits IRL. Stop giving Nexon grief because they don't suit you. If you've got a problem with how Nexon run their business, don't play their game(s).

Actually, this thread was saying that GMs don't know their own game. Not this. And Nexon did say that they have 0 tolerance for hacking, and since the GM obviously thought it was hacking he promptly banned him permantly.

Comments are in bold.

All of them are perfectly legit actions that could be mistaken for hacking by a GM who wasn't sure about what they were doing, just like getting on the Hene hut obviously is. Using skills in the game, which by chance allow you to reach an area isn't justification ban worthy no matter how you try and spin it,

Getting up there is by choice, maybe the GM which banned him didn't know Gunslingers could get up there legitly? If this is the case, the GM should be given a warning to only temp ban for a day for this

Yet they didn't, the GM gave a perm ban , and even a temporary ban for a feature that is COMPLETELY INTENDED in the game is insane.

or something, because they shouldn't allow a class to do it because they can legitly, because people would abuse this in just making a gunslinger to hack up there.

??? Would you have hermits banned because they have a skill that allows them to 'hack' to places other classes can't reach too then?

Yes, there is a problem with hackers getting up there, it's showing there's an exploit in the game's protection program (gameguard), which can be seen to show weakness, and a company doesn't want that, do they?

I'd think a company would want competent employees who know how the game works, but what do ya know?

SURE, OFC, NEXON HAS WEAKNESSES, WE ALL KNOW THAT. ALL COMPANIES HAVE WEAKNESSES. NEXON IS THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND A HACKING EXPLOIT EVERY SO OFTEN. DONT LIKE IT, GO PLAY SOMETHING ELSE.

?????? THe only person I see in this thread even complaining about hackers is you.

If this is how Nexon want to run their business, let them. You're not forced to buy NX. It's not a law, nor does it give you extreme benefits IRL. Stop giving Nexon grief because they don't suit you. If you've got a problem with how Nexon run their business, don't play their game(s).

If banning legits is something nexon wants to do, not just nexon , but ANY gaming company , they deserve to have complaints until they are drowning in them.

Yet they didn't, the GM gave a perm ban , and even a temporary ban for a feature that is COMPLETELY INTENDED in the game is insane. Since when was it intended that you should get up to that place? It's not a glitch either, but it wasn't intended.



??? Would you have hermits banned because they have a skill that allows them to 'hack' to places other classes can't reach too then? No, but saying 'Oh look, nvm, he's a gunslinger/hermit. we wont ban him because he can do it with skills' is going to get you nowhere with banning hackers.


I'd think a company would want competent employees who know how the game works, but what do ya know? GMs = Humans. Humans make mistakes



?????? THe only person I see in this thread even complaining about hackers is you. I'm not complaining about hackers, I'm just saying that the GM thought he was hacking, therefore he banned him, so it's the GM's final say whether someone gets banned or not.



If banning legits is something nexon wants to do, not just nexon , but ANY gaming company , they deserve to have complaints until they are drowning in them. As i said before, why should we complain? We all choose to play this game. If you don't like how it's run, you're not forced to play. You can go quit at any time if you want.

Also, take note that when you signed up to the game, you signed over your account, Nexon can ban your account at any time, for any reason. In fact, in thereoy, you don't own your account. Nexon does, and you play on it.
