Something radical has to be done and sadly, knowing Nexon, I don't see them doing anything about it. Sure they may patch it, but another exploit will come up. Due to the nature of the way the game is played I don't think there's a way to secure that hole though. There were much more awesome hacks years ago (god mode/vac hack -> no delay), so I think Nexon is improving in that regard if it makes you feel any better. I don't agree with how they handle all the exploits, but my opinion doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. I have my last finals tomorrow so I might be more active later in the week, but after reading the latest Nexon I'm not sure I want to. | ||

I am going to put in a ticket like OP asking if the chaos scrolls I bought from the FM a week ago should also be npc'd. Below is my ticket description. I don't think I can get much clearer than that. + Show Spoiler + To whom it may concern, The last 4 chaos scrolls I bought from the FM were on May 1st. These 4 chaos scrolls were then put into the same stack as chaos scrolls I have attained legit through the event as well as chaos scrolls I acquired prior to the anniversary event. I found out about the coin exploit on May 7th and proceeded to not make any purchases through the FM as well as not doing anything involving the coin event. I have a very simple question. Do you recommend that I sell the 4 chaos scrolls I bought from the FM on May 1st which being in the same "stack" of all my chaos scrolls (20ish scrolls) would include the chaos scrolls I had prior to this event? I was going to do this anyways just to be safe, but I want to confirm this first. If I do not receive a confirmation before May 12, I will NPC all the chaos scrolls just to be safe. Thank you for your time. Regards, Sam Xu EDIT: My ticket above was closed fairly soon after it was received. Therefore I will be npcing all the chaos scrolls I have and the pink scrolls dyon gave me to sell just because I am not a risk taker. Regarding Dyon's 4 -20% 2 handed sword attack scrolls. I will get that back for him after this whole mess is over and the event is put back in place. | ||

Since it looks like Nexon's making a decent attempt at cleaning up the mess, so it might be worth playing again. | ||

EDIT: I'm not sure what nexon is trying to do, but if everyone actually does npc the exploited items and lose mesos because of that, this resolution will hurt the legit players quiet a bit. I have to say personally I'm not happy about this and I know no one likes to lose mesos especially when a good majority of the ms community thought a rollback was inevitable. However the way nexon is handling this is changing my opinion of the hackers that exploited this event. For me personally buying exploited items was a win-win if all nexon did was implement rollbacks all the time. I get to have some fun scrolling stuff if there is a rollback or I get really cheap stuff if there isn't a rollback. Temp ban isn't too bad either because I can always use a break from the game, especially if I can come out with good items for cheap. Now this is only if nexon is actually capable of tracking the exploited items. But if "legit" players, specifically people who item smega'd items that were chaos'd this weekend really do get banned because they wanted to take that risk of not getting rid of the items that they used exploited chaos scrolls on, then that is when I'll be amazed. Perhaps when those stories go up on forums, more people will associate less openly with these event exploiters. In a way I kind of wish I bought exploited chaos scrolls on a mule acct and chao'd some stuff just to see if nexon is capable of tracking it. Mule acct being banned is not a big deal but knowing what nexon is capable of is to me. I'm not saying I agree with nexon's actions but I do think if they are really doing what they are saying then more players will think twice before knowingly buying exploited items. What do you guys think? | ||

The main reason why I quit was because the Resistance was OP as fuck (especially Mechanics). My Aran was just utterly useless, and I didn't want to "jump on the bandwagon" and play the Resistance, playing something that is OP isn't really fun, especially when everyone was Resistance. Is it worth playing atm? Are there any nerfs or balance changes or w.e? I understand if you don't agree with me with the fact that the Resistance *was* OP, but I can say myself they definitely were (to the point where making a *normal* class was pointless). Thanks. Resistance blows, nobody even makes them any more | ||

I just think it's funny that they decided to do a maintenance to "avoid any further damage to the in game economy." but there's no rollback because it hasn't done enough damage to the game economy. It's a good thing Nexon was there to shut everything down just in time to save the economy! Their solution doesn't seem very good either, but if I thought Nexon did a good job about anything I might go see a psychiatrist. | ||

EDIT: you guys might want to check out what hime has to say on the official nexon forums before doing anything. We do have until sunday. Hime has a few good clarifications. Just do keep in mind there has been times when hime has made mistakes in her past posts. What she says isn't always 100% true (in the past the nexon developers have changed their minds regarding certain clarifications). So in the end the decision is still yours. =) | ||

As to the arguement that its our choice whether or not to buy the scrolls, it really isn't. We are partially a merching guild, I think most of us live by economic laws. You can't watch as chaos scrolls go to nothing and not buy some as a hedge against nexon doing nothing. Especially with the lack of action by nexon for the last week. The problem is that hackers made mad money off of their exploits, and don't even need to use mts exploits to keep their gains. Who cares if they lose the +7 skanda or 10000 scrolls when they probably made 1b off selling that stuff to people, who must now npc it. Lastly, Nexon never really addressed the issue. A simple, "we are aware of the problem, and warn our users NOT to purchase exploited items." would have been nice, instead of the usual, "run amok while we sit with our thumbs up our ass." | ||
