Evidence of break in is already widely available. I don't need to paste the link of the list of 18k+ IDs leaked due to the MTS exploit.
Losses to be claimed by negligence needs only to be on the players' end, not Nexon's. We put in time and money into the accounts (doesn't matter what ToS says about our money - the fact that the site even says "Purchase NX" and NX pre-paid cards being a commercial item in stores is enough grounds to consider any transaction of NX to be a purchase bound by legal expectations of merchanting and services, and not a donation), got hacked, and if Nexon doesn't do anything about that given the context of the exploits and other players' testimonies (I'm fairly sure at least one other person here would be willing to testify in written declaration under oath), I would think that is grounds for a lawsuit and further (federal) investigation.
Who wins or loses in the end is another matter. But let's scale this up. Suppose 100+ players sued Nexon right now in this instant with the same charges, do you think Nexon would even remotely have the legal resources to handle all 100+ disputes? Hell, they can't even keep up with the same botters that are in the same map for 3 days+!
But suppose Nexon has all evidence to win and settle all 100+ cases, how much resources, time, and publicity would that cost them? You think they'd go through with that - or just revert your hacked account back to a previous state (we've seen that it's obviously possible)?
No - they would want to avoid all legal charges against them, and that's why there is that bull piece of pomegranate ToS that you so faithfully believe that we're bound by simply because we clicked "Agree."
