I imagine we could go on for hours about how hackers, their actions, and Nexon's lack of action to correct said hacker actions, are a large part of the reason why the game is in its state today.
Sure, small exploits here and there aren't incredibly hurtful to a game, but MapleStory has been hundreds of little unpatched, unadressed exploits here and there, and those all together make the game the giant clusterpineapple it is today. Nexon obviously is largely at fault for some of their poor handling of game balance, and certainly for their inablity to patch exploits and manage the game. But hackers certainly in some ways have destabilized the game, and I'm not exactly sure what the best method of correcting it is.
