You say that Nexon is to blame as well and need to compensate you even though you knew better and been told countless times that you shouldn't be buying those items. So you telling me if you spent thousands of dollars on pot and years past with out being caught doing so, and finally are caught that the police should compensate you with the money you spent on pot because they didn't arrest you right away? With your logic you are telling everyone who breaks the rules should get compensation if the power in charge do not take action right away. If you are going to break the rules in anything in this game, another game, or just in real life then you should be an adult and take responsibility if or when you are caught.
I sort of get his point though. You said we were "told countless times" that we should not use the weapons, but in actuality, Nexon's actions implied the opposite. They were blatantly sold/bought/smega'd for a very, very long time. If you were a newer player, you would think it was just a godly weapon until you educated yourself. Hacked weapons had been going on for so long that they had almost become the norm and acceptable to many players. You can compare this situation to HT, which is still broken. If you've been around for awhile, it's common knowledge that you need to get on a list of 30 people after each SC in order to fight Horntail, and after that, you can only solo the boss until the next SC if you are on the list. Nowhere is it stated in any description that those are requirements for Horntail, but it's been "broken" for so long that it's become normal/expected. Hacked weapons haven't been going on for nearly as long, but they are approaching that level.
Your analogy doesn't work for that reason. Marijuana is almost universally frowned upon by society and the laws in place against it are actually enforced. Hacked weapons have been running around unpunished for so long that you can not fault players who cave in in the same way. A slightly better (but still bad) analogy is jay walking. It's illegal, because it can cause serious accidents/harm but that law is never enforced. Because of that, nobody frowns on jaywalking, and most people will jaywalk without giving a second thought because it's the norm.
However, I still don't think there should be compensation. I think Nexon needs to look to fix their future policies rather than waste time fixing their infinite amount of past mistakes.
PS: Your wording implies that lovevictim uses the weapons himself and is upset that they're gone. Just in case: he's didn't use a craven at all, even near the end (one of the very few "famous" people to never cave in).
