Last week we discovered that players were able to exploit an error in the Reboot world Cash Shop to obtain large amounts of items and mesos. During the unscheduled maintenance last Friday, we resolved the error and temporarily suspended all players who exploited the error and obtained items and mesos as a result. We investigated our options for resolving these player’s characters in Reboot world to determine how to mitigate the advantage all of these players had gained.

We have completed our investigation, and have decided to perform the following actions to the affected accounts during this Thursday’s scheduled maintenance. These changes only apply to the suspended accounts who obtained items and mesos by exploiting this error and these actions will only be taken in the Reboot world.

• We will reset the total amount of mesos to 22,000,000 for all characters and storage in Reboot world. You can find these mesos in the player’s storage.
• We will delete all Cash items that were purchased with mesos from the accounts. We will NOT delete Cash items purchased with NX.
• We will delete all equipment from the inventories of characters in Reboot world.

Once these actions are complete, we will release these accounts.

I assume this refers to the characters suspended, and not everyone I hope.

Yeah...it says it right above what you quoted. It only applies to the suspended accounts who exploited the bug.

Hopefully they hit people who weren't suspended as well. In my old guild there were a few people who were bragging about having 99 cubes and 2bil Mesos and didn't get banned.

this only encourages people to exploit since no real action is done aside from losing what you gained.
Since some got away with it then it's ok to try your luck next time because all they doing is removing what you did.

Nah, it's just "Nexon: consistently lazy."
They said they'd investigate every account that benefitted from this bug, but I guess there are too many and they just can't be bothered to read the logs. So they mete out this action which is too lenient for heavy abusers, and too harsh for those who only did it once and never touched the cubes or meso (assuming at least some of those who claim they did are not lying).

Well my suggestion of replacing the abusers items with clean ones was changed into just plain deleting their items but that works too.
