Yes some of them are stronger but they are also a much higher level and if there wasn't a bunch of hackers or people using hacked duped items those equips gears would not be so common. And I didn't say power creep doesn't exist I said nexon is doing a good job handling it. And yes the hackers are the cause of most of it. take vss for example. same shoe over the years but it went from 0 att to 38 now or more, and not because Nexon is doing it. They made what 3 events in the 7 years gms has been out to put attack on shoes but there are people with stacks of hundreds.
No, this is precisely the point of the video in the OP. There are ways to expand the content in the game without obsoleting old systems and pressuring players to buy the latest and greatest new items to stay on the treadmill. Nexon has done an absolutely horrible job with this in every aspect of the game. They push power creep when they don't even need to. New classes could be fun and interesting without being absurdly overpowered. New bosses could be challenging without doing insane amounts of damage. But it's easier just to do the same thing they already did and just crank up the numbers a bit each time, so that's what they do.
