Paying for something doesn't take you off the hook for the fact they're illegal. I sincerely hate when people make your counterargument without thinking for four seconds about the fact that I'm not arguing about how dangerous they are.
I think the "paid for" items discussed here were items people made themselves, with tons of meso and NX, which just so happen to have the same stats as the hacked equips. These items are not inherently illicit. What you are talking about is items people bought "with real money" off MTS. Those are indeed illicit.
Now, in America, I believe the "innocent until proven guilty" rule is intended to make sure not a single innocent is unjustly jailed, even if it means a thousand guilty go free.
However, Nexon doesn't have to do it that way.
I believe they should delete all the items with those well-known stats. If you happen to have one you made yourself, log a ticket with proof, and it will be restored.
But, as I said before, they'll never do it. Too many NX-buyers have these items, Nexon doesn't want to piss them off.
Anyway, there are lots of other areas they need to improve on.
- Bug fixing. And making sure they stay fixed. I mean, seriously, fixing Phantom's Zakum pre-quests - and then unfixing it the next patch?
- Testing. We have not had such a buggy version release as 115 in a loooong time.
- Responding to tickets. They still send out idiotic form-responses without reading tickets, a lot of the time. That has got to stop.
- Responding to forum threads. They've made it impossible to log tickets about bugs in the game, and require people to post on the forum. But the forum is busy and messy, and the vast majority of threads still go without any comment by a GM. Some bugs get lost in the shuffle - and some bugs get conveniently ignored in that same shuffle.
- Banning hackers. They should leave the ad-spammers in FM1 alone, and use their meager in-game time to ban hackers at bosses and botters at the known hotspots (why did they put up the "where are cheaters?" thread in their forums, if they don't intend to use it?)
- Preventing hacks and exploits.
- Preventing false auto-bans. Although that probably goes into "bug fixing".
...and more.
