A Message About Your Game

Just because it seems like it should be an easy fix, doesn't mean it is. Do you know of its like to have to write a program to scour through millions of lines of database information and not have it screw up AT ALL? Even if they get it right, everyone who bought those items with NX/Mesos will complain. The other problem is that nexon needs to check it on 3 different databases, Inventories, MTS (Which KMS doesn't even have so that makes it even harder), and in Storages. All of which may be stored on seperate locations in seperate sets of code. Even if its wrong by a single variable, it can have disastrous results if done incorrectly. They are taking it extremely slow because the know what happened last time when they deleted all the illegitimate UA's and half of the legit ones too.

...Read the last two setences. The point of my solution isn't just to simply do a wipe becuase I don't think nexon is capable enough because they understand shyt all of their game. FFS they think potential scrolls take slots. All they have to do is sit and have a criteria of items with 100's of enhancments and see morons flaunting them. They don't have to get rid of them, they have to make players afraid to use them to begin with. Right now players even consider it legitimate gear if they purchase it, and frankly why shouldn't they? They don't get banned and the only consequence is you get some smug legit talking down to you, big whoop.

With no consequence comes no fear or hesitation. Even if nexon is completely incabable of getting rid of them, they can ban the characters who use it, and obviously flaunt it. Seriously, any item above 400 attack should be outright deleted with the character. Sure they could hide them, but what's the point if they get banned for using them? The market of them crashes, hackers stop trying to dupe them, game somewhat gets back to normal.

Even if they are incabable of coding all they have to do is take some iniative within the game.

Yes, The current system is massively flawed. But as EOS had said in the "What Every Mapler should know" thread, was that maple is a client heavy MMO, and thusly is way easier to exploit than other types of games of this sort. Im hoping if they ever make a Maplestory 2, They will learn from their mistakes and hopefully make a more complex/encrypted client and database.

..I don't see how this at all helps your argument, you're essentially saying keep it as it is because that's how it is? Obviously it needs to be reconstructed, and obviously the current system isn't working. I don't see anything in your response that contradicts that, in fact enforces it.

If nexon would bother to invest some money in to encryption technology, it wouldnt matter if we gave them our info or not. The fact that i suggested real world verification is that it would remove the hacker's abilities to simply make a new account after getting banned. Im not saying the system has to be using some sort of valuable information, but they should have a process in which you have to provide some sort of unique identifier for yourself so that you cant just make 10 accounts after you get banned for hacking. That is partly the reason why KMS has less hackers. The punishments are much more severe for losing your account. If GMS did some sort of system like this, I am confident the number of hackers will be cut in half at least.

EDIT: Yes i know i cant spell/grammar correctly. Deal with it.

Yes but what verification system? Korea uses social security numbers, and I was an advocate of us doign that as well until KMS got hacked and lost all that important information. The only thing I could think of is possibly what the big MMO's use, assuming nexon would want to start sending those out to every goddam player who makes a maple account. Should a free to play game be selling these to players who make it? Should they be keeping SS numbers? When you put FREE in any title it really means FREE OF ANY LIABILITIES IF YOU GET FK'D. Life lesson.
