Hacked Items

I think people make too big a deal out of hackers and what they do. Hackers who invade maps and destroy training opportunites are a serious problem, and the fact that they can influence the economy so greaty through increasing the existance of items such as ilbis through hacking mobs or duping is a problem. But unless you are completely sure the item is from hacked mobs or duping, then just buy it. Too much ideology is being inserted into an aspect of this game that isn't that big of a deal. If if I see a really great equip or a shop full of ilbis, should I just scream HACKER and ignore that opportunity? No, how can I prove with 100% certainty that its hack related.

All this stuff against leeching and alleged hacked items makes no sense to me. Why are people trying to overcomplicate this game.

People get all worked up over h4x0rz because there's a few issues involved, mainly the "legit pride" and trust. Trust is something to think about, as people will start getting suspicious and complain if they believe someone isn't being bound to the same rules that Nexon intended for the game. Sorta like how your neighbor magically got $100,000 and you KNOW it's not a bailout from the government...

For me, I like to preserve legit pride, integrity and trust, although I don't go about flaunting it or anything. I just use one rule when dealing with shady things: common sense.
