[Notice] Update: Removed Illegally Generated Equipment; Restr...

[Takebacker]

So do I. It will be a good laugh.
Anyways, at least they are showing they do care for the game after all...*laughs*

Step 1: Duping and item generation outbreak generates tons of revenue through MTS. People who care lose faith in the game and stop spending money/quit.
Step 2: Periodic wipe of generated/duped items. Improves public opinion of the company. People who care continue spending money/come back. People who don't care have to gear themselves up to compensate for lost equipment, by spending money.
Step 3: Create more systems that leave holes open for more exploits while increasing the power creep to nudge players towards upgrading more by spending money.
Step 4: Go back to step 1.

In case you idiots hadn't noticed, Nexon's customer service actually has been improving (CS item extension, hyper rocks, gms, etc).

Always pointing out some conspiracy and then proceeding to rage about something you all complain about relentlessly, noice.

More changes like these WILL be made.
Don't rage about the skyrocket of valuable items and your ability to not get one, or having to spend your money on a game.

You are in the wrong place for a post like this.. it's almost as if you meant to post this on a basil thread but clicked the wrong tab...

This face is the ultimate win... Just ultimate win lol.

That, or they just want people to buy overpriced cs items (ie, Pam's Song).

See, that's the thing. That's the way the game is SUPPOSED to be. I don't see why everyone is complaining.

GM Scrolls were never meant to be released in such great quantities...neither were white scrolls, pam's songs, or whatever the hell has also been duped. My bow is perfectly scrolled, and I remember my friend who did that for me, she spent over $150 on 10% vegas and pams scrolls to get it there. In the past, it was "You want a godly weapon? Then spend a large amount of nx to get it there." That's the way it was meant to be, and I don't see what the problem is here, Nexon taking actions to get back what is rightfully theirs (the money that is supposed to be needed to get these weapons).

Of course, the ethics behind Nexon's decision to do this with this timing can be questioned and scrutinized. However, that is a different discussion in itself.

-while nawing on underwear- goddamit nexon, you may have foiled my assumptions this time, but you've only made me eat one pair of underpants, theres plenty more which you have to fix

Next time live-stream it so I can have satisfaction when Nexon trolls you next. Which may/may not ever happen again. But having the satisfaction that you will delights me so.

Yes, you hit the carrot on the chicken.

Right on point, but how could you know this!?

You keep screaming this but most of your examples aren't "customer assistance". It's features for convenience, which if I recall they've been doing since they released pet's.

Point me to where conspiracy was used.

I never said it was planned. Just that that is how the cycle is and it ultimately favors Nexon in every way.

Sounds about right :/

A couple of the *hem* well equipped characters on Bera are mourning their characters not being strong in smegas, I wonder if this is why.

[Kirov]

It’s just a shame they always leave these things till the last possible minute where they have absolutely no choice but to step it up and sort it out. They just leave their player base suffering away for months until they see their profits drop and decide they better do something. They really need to jump on these things straight away.

This face is the ultimate win... Just ultimate win lol.

Why thank you.

I personally read that like this:

You smart people noticed, Nexon's customer service actually has been just as crappy as usual (why don't you mention lack of actual customer service, as in email/phone (aka non-automated replies).

Always pointing out some facts and then proceeding to not be content when something isn't done as properly as it should have been.

More changes like these WILL be made. (derp - who is arguing with you on this one?)
Be happy about the skyrocket of price and demand of your valuable legit and hard-earned items.

Also, someone seems a bit butthurt by this latest change. Don't worry bro, cheaters can still sell illegit scroll "services" due to their awesome reputation (that is if you still have the scrolls and Nexon wasn't thorough enough to not also ban whoever needed to be banned - which wouldn't surprise me). I hope you guys caught the bits of sarcasm.

[CrazyForDex]

I hope they keep this up. I'm always for an appreciation of my items while I get a nice show of watching the dupers squirm

Yes, that's clearly what he meant because how dare someone have a different opinion about Nexon from the majority? Personally, with the change in management that seems to be going on behind the scenes and the increase of communication, I think the new guys are trying to fix stuff up and you all can't seem get away from blaming people that probably aren't even in the same seat of power any more or there at all. The company is trying stuff out to fix the game, at least you could show some support instead of cracking age old jokes about it.

People here are well within their right to complain due to Nexon's track record.

No one is magically and instantly forgiven for their neglect by doing what should have been done in the first place.

What Nexon is doing at the moment is what is expected of a respectable company, hence why no one throws a party for them. They were well within the red for years and just now they're doing what should have been done and what was expected of them; however, with the game in this condition, people have been long awaiting for the unexpected.

Did I say they weren't allowed to complain? I don't seem to recall I did....

What I seem to recall saying was that if you have the right to complain, then I have the right to believe this may be a change for the better without being assumed I'm some kind of cheater that benefits from this some how. (Which is exactly what happened to DamageCalc). Be negative and stay negative, but if someone says "Hey they might be doing something good" for a change, they shouldn't be viewed as some negative aspect.

I don't know if you understand what I meant, but my slight was more toward the hacker (damagecalc) than it was toward nexon. Anyway, this change is a step in the right direction, but Nexon got a ways to go. It's about all the credit I'll give them at this point. They didn't even take out the 3X attack masks/etc (something a few lines of SQL would easily take care of, theoretically).

Semantics. I don't want to argue that. I merely argued why pessimism is justified. Nothing about IImaplers, nothing about DamageCalc.

More and more people will take Nexon seriously when they're maintaining a normal game, not when they're fixing a broken game.

"at least you could show some support" : I believe there's no better support than sticking around this game for so long despite what Nexon has/hasn't done all these years.
