Why you bump a thread that's over a week old?
Dammit Khaini.
Half the population of khaini is probably equivalent to 1/5 of scanias population. So losing half of khaini won't destroy the game. Also iirc most of the hardcore dupers came from khaini so if they quit maple will become a better place.
Good. Khaini needs less people that make the server look so bad. The "Oh it's a coincidence that my Ele Staff whatever looks the exact same as 400 other people's!" is getting old.
Dat necro
I recently came back to Maple during October when I took an one year break. When I was browsing through the fm, I saw a VSS with 38 att clean going for max. I was thinking to myself "this game seems to be very easy since golden temple releases those gm scrolls. So... I guess anything could be godly." I bought those shoes after giving it a thought. After that, I dressed up and went to my loval pharmacy store where they sell nx cards and I got myself 50k nx to cube my shoe. My first potential gave me 2line rare stats. I then bought that cube that turns it into 3 line. On my first try, it worked and I was amazed. Several cubes later, I got it to unique with bad stats. On my last cube, I got 12% stat all non nebbed shoes and i felt so proud. I thought about a lot of things that I could do with my shoes since it is basically the jack of all trades and it could assist me when I make new classes. After the patch a while ago, I heard rumours from my close friends that there was a mass deletion and when one of them said their vss was gone, I was in shock and I was currently doing a 12 hour shift that time. When I finally finished my shift, I rushed home and loaded up Maple to see if my vss was affected too.... well it was. I felt sad at that moment because that vss was my first equip to recieve nice potential. Later, I received a package from gm and it was my vss with clean stats. From then on, i moved on to empress equips because they are cool xD
[quote=EmVee]You say you're just stating the obvious, but this is some serious hyperbole here. You don't need to dupe items to get a decent range. If you want to achieve this stuff without cheating, then use the current game mechanics to your advantage, try to figure out how to make your methods more efficient, etc. Or you can whine when your benefitting from flagrant rule-breaking inevitably comes back to bite you in the ass because you can only hide for so long.[/quote]
>implying that cheaters ever get punished
>implying cheaters don't prosper

This game is so intense
oh look these threads again
[quote=Sharkicer123]I believe its called bugs not glitches. They aren't the same thing.
It took Nexon long enough to make another move like this.
Now the game can flow towards a brighter future.[/quote]Bugs and glitches are one in the same. It took nexon long enough because they were clearly profiting off of them and now wanted a huge inflow of nx during the holiday season. Also to the person stating finding duped items are hard, yes it is but the clearly name tagged ones are the easiest ones to find and delete. Alot of certain duped gear was clearly tagged as dot's gear. Find them all and delete without hesitation, but they waitied for a long time because they wanted it to flow into the community and get cubed and such. Nexon is a business and I understand the move because I would have done the same myself.
[quote=deadonsight]Nexon single handedly fixed their game
FTFY[/quote]
Please explain how they "Fixed" their game. The game is still so broken that people get crashing and "GM Dc Hack" problems daily. They have so many glitches in this game look at the Known Issues. This game is hardly even fixed but a little bit more sad since alot of people are quitting. I found duped items to be a great way to do high priced trades. Instead of buying a large amount of WS id go out buy a 38 vss and that would easily get me a 2b knocked off. With duped items being deleted now the prices of boss items will inflate. Because there will be less people who can actually kill bosses legitly. Giving back the power to hackers to control the boss items. Hell empress gear has inflated to 80~200m now in khaini when we were at 10~50m. The only people who were happy that this happened was people who didn't care for duped items.
As to another subject is why would someone want to spend nearly 5x+ the amount of money/time into making an item that you can easily buy? Is it that peoples "Accomplishments" is so much of a value to others that when something puts it down they have to go and be selfish enough to bully others into their ideals? Just because you got to point a with route a while so and so got to the same point but with a different and easier route doesn't make it any less than yours. Its a game and life so people need to grow up and accept the fact that easier routes will always be found. It is in human nature to better our lives some how in a easier fashion. Its pretty selfish to think that their way is the only way to go about this game and shun anyone else.
I do not promote hacking but you need to come to the realization that in the end it actually helped out the average joe who worked their way up to get these illicit items to achieve a goal they wanted. I believe that this action that nexon took will either turn more people into hackers or they will just quit this game. But some people like me will take it with a grain of salt and move on. There will be far more glitches that people will abuse because everyone secretly desires to get ahead in this game.
@Sukau: If we are the so called "Hacker Central" then tell me why is it that Khaini never had the best of the best duped gear unlike Scania/Windia/Bera. Just because you see so many meso farmers in Khaini doesn't mean they don't exist in the other servers in the really dead maps. Only reason why you see them so often is because there are less users around to populate maps or some of the farmers in khaini don't care about the users at all. (Most I know are users in game farming to make profit ).
I like how people think Nexon waited so long to profit. It seems that way, but even with a single patch they wouldn't be able to wipe every single duped item. Think about this for a second there's like 17 servers in GMS. They have to track down all the duped items, where they originate from and if they were really duped. It's possible to have Black Fist Cloak that's 15~20 atk if you're lucky and fairly well cubed. Also since it's apparently 'Nexon's' they can't remove duped items fast enough because I don't know they don't have like other games they need to tend for or anything. Let's just say they did wait to remove duped items just for profit. It's not illogical, I mean they NEED to pay people who work for them. There's people who update content, translate stuff, fix bugs, and etc. These are very long processes, they obviously need the money to pay someone to help out with duped item removal or ask people to stay over time etc. If you think it's so easy to remove duped items you should really look into programing and checking out the data. Tracking it to the VERY first origin of the item. In this case most these duped items take a while to perfect because you do after need A LOT of them so you can make it as good as possible. You guys just think it's so easy that they can just do it over night and be done with a patch.
[quote=TheMagi]Please tell me how it was my fault for buying clean items that I cubed and upgraded myself for two characters costing me well over 400$.
Not all items are obviously duped.[/quote]
ignore her dude its not worth the fight people are stupid and their understanding limited
[quote=KuroYuki]Then quit .__. Your fault for buying duped items and being careless of what you buy...[/quote]

[quote=yoyoyo510]So I have a chance to be the godliest ever![/quote]
unless you wana spend 10 thousand dollars no you dont
this is funny watch nexon replace you guys. i quit in 2007 they replaced me with u losers
@EmVee: xD. I'll cube it. For no reason at all ).
i was about to sell my 217 katara for $200, lost it
also 20 atk 31% ear, 16 23% branch nose, 38 25% mask, and 15 atk 31% bfc
i basically quit ms and was about to sell that chit too
oddly my 34% 55 str top is still there
[quote=EmVee]Free or not, if it was duped then it's gone. The sale should [b]encourage[/b] you to cube if anything because now you can get good stats legitimately and actually keep them this time.[/quote]
Thing is, Idk if it is duped or not :o. Things haven't been deleted that were duped so, I am not sure if I should waste nx on cubing, then see if it gets deleted later on, or just not cube it.
First of all: Ever since MTS is gone, nexon doesn't profit from dupe gears anymore being that people sell them via paypal and money pack. So it shoulda been obvious this is likely to happen
Secondly: It might seem Nexon ruined the game but the truth is, more people are going to come back knowing that this game is "balanced" again. And thus more people would buy nx and Nexon is going to profit.
Lastly: Let's be real, it's only a game + you shoulda seen this coming.
Looks like I won't be buying Black Friday cubes to use on my 30 att mask I got for free. o_o.
It's just a pixelated item. If people really ragequit over this i feel sorry for them.
i hope 75% of scania quits too. PLEASE. leave the remaining 25% who actually play the game as is without the need to cheat lol
Ynow, this happened last time, but not many people quit.
[quote=3moRaccoon]The majority of GMS is not wealthy enough to afford those equips. A population decline of that multitude will not occur.[/quote]
Once upon a time they were 10k~20k in MTS, most players bought and cubed... so if they spent like 50knx+(Like a friend) On the shoes i'm sure he will get mad.
[quote=Rimkii]They have announced the awareness of duped items before and everyone panicked and tried to sell it off beforehand-which in retrospect lead to the rollbacks. Anyone remember the chaos and white scroll dupings for example? Or the 300+ ATK cravens? Or how about the 600+ ATK ST like she said?[/quote]
actually, rollbacks are caused by dupe hacks being released publicly so that every noob hacker and his pet dog begin to dupe
quoted from a thread "Don't even say that nexon ruined the game.
You people that bought duped items, you people that duped items, are the entire reason nexon removed the MTS. i feel bad for all those kids who can't charge nx and really depended on the mts.
Greedy dupers. it's your own fault. Why would you buy duped items and pay someone $ to ruin the game when you can just make your own gear, like i did?
cause it would be cheaper for you $ wise? LOL. You got nexon'd
don't give me the bs "i didn't know it was duped, i thought it was coincidence 30 other people have the same item i wear" LOL
Go go nexon, Save your Game, Nice Job !
if you can't play fair. get the hell out =)"
So I have a chance to be the godliest ever!
[quote=GlitterPumas]Did you know what Nexon could of have done? Initially announce that they are aware that dupe items exist and they will be deleted in the future instead of waiting a long time to get them fix while people end up spending a ton of money on cubes. It is common sense to not deal with hacked items but it is tempting for most people to use it if is there and Nexon doesn't even talk about it.
Way to go on hustling people nexon but that is what businesses do, no big deal. And now the main providers of their game are going to end up quitting.
But this is all purely based on assumption[/quote]
Again, if they are completely aware it is a duped item then they are again being stupid and spending money on it.
It's not their fault if people want to cube duped items.
Nexon is already bleeding money. If they were doing so well, they wouldn't be doing 2X EXP events every weekend. They're trying to be less dependent on illegal stuff, but it's really not working out for them.
[quote=GlitterPumas]Yes lets wipe out all of the rich people, leave a few behind, and have the average damage range be 5k at lv 200! Hooray for the poor people for maplestory, hitting that 5k on pink bean Yolo! [/quote]
At least it will be more of a team effort that way..You know? Like how pre-bb people wanted.

They announced it multiple times over the past few months if I remember correctly.

How's a 10 month warning for you guys?
[quote=YellowYo]Di-Did you call me a she?
On-topic i remember everyone scrambling to sell all their crap cause they announced their removal soon.[/quote]
i'm so sorry! i have a hard time telling based on hair sometimes
OT-exactly, so really that's why i can kinda understand them not announcing it this time.
Only thing that bothers me is that they waited a year or so and milked as many cubes as possible out of people cubing these things before deleting them. Even though stepping in the right direction, doesn't really help their imagine about only caring about money either when look at it that way.
lets be real, this was a good thing.
Sure i lost more than half of my range, but i aint even mad, i feel like nexon just fixed their game a ton
[quote=KamikazeDes]Nexon got their money, anyway. Why would they care if they destroy the game when they still win?[/quote]
they dont care, thats just it -.-

thank god for my 4att empress shoe
This game was destroyed the momment they bring potential items and all the other things, ja.

It's people's own stupid fault if they want to invest in hacked or duped items, i don't feel sorry for them at all. Yes, there are a few aspects the nexon has not been smart on, but this is not one of them. players who do not wish to play fairly are making the game dysfunctional.

They did sort of make maple better this way but 1 thing i dont understand.
WHY WAIT SO LONG with the deletion, people actually invested alot of meso and time in these things , MOST LEGIT things got DELETED aswell...
