General

Just came back from maple and some of my equips are missing

As indicated by the title, after being away from the game for a few months, I logged in and found some of my godly equips missing (tree branch, bottoms, ect). The problem is that all my equips were locked... A guild member told me that Nexon deleted some duped equips. So atm I'm really annoyed because I didn't even know that the equips were duped - for example, my branch had NO weap attack.

How was I meant to know that they were duped? Does Nexon expect me to only buy crap equips? Also, does Nexon realise that they are pissing off the very people that make this game profitable? Are they stupid enough to think that we are going to continue to play this game after our godly equips are deleted?

What are your thoughts?

edit: btw How many people have since quit? Are there still heaps of pro's?

I had some of my gear deleted. I still continue to play. I still continue to buy NX. They pissed off a lot of players. So what? Didn't matter one bit to them.

[quote=soulfist]@JsMcK:

Yeah but it wouldn't apply to something like this (A request/issue), the furthest you could go in terms of encompassing complaints would be criticizing their service, which again, they would never read. Just pointing it out, I'd submit it under the 2 sections that the someone said earlier in the thread though. Just resubmit it every week during the weekdays, before they close. (once a week), you'll at least get a reply.

Edit: You also shouldn't quit, that's silly and overreacting. This happened to pretty much everyone I know.[/quote]

Thanks for the thoughtful response

[quote=JsMcK]my branch nose was only 10% str - I have seen better legitimate ones. Also, my pants were 18% str - I have legitimately cubed a 21% unique cape so 18% is definitely possible.[/quote]

Pretty much most if not all warrior top and bottoms with 18%-30% str have been mass duped. same goes with thief tops and bottoms although with thieves, 15%-30 are the common duped gear top/ bottom sets. Unfortunately although they aren't as obvious as some of the 30% str tops, the fact is that in the end of the day, the pants were mass duped and too many payers owned enough of them to the point where Nexon was able to track the id of the item and wipe them given how common they became.

[quote=iStarBright]I think it's unfair that they don't compensate players who were unaware of buying duped items. I understand your anger. However, anybody could argue that they didn't know they were buying duped items, including the dupers. I don't think Nexon could differentiate between innocent and guilty, could they?[/quote]

Try submitting a ticket, hopefully they'll read it. But really, just one of your remaining items is probably more than what half of maple players live on so you'll be fine no need to quit. Unless however you only play to see 999999's ...

[quote=soulfist]Feedback was a mistake, that's just for suggestions for the game. I don't even think they read that, if they had read mine the game would be in much better shape by now.[/quote]

Feedback would encompass complaints too... I'm basically complaining about the way they are treating me! lol Anyway, I'll prob re-submit under another section.

[quote=JsMcK]I sent one under feedback... But I did mention duped Why does it matter? Like even completely legit people know what the word duped means.[/quote]

[quote=Maliphite]send a ticket... ppl have said they have got maple points from sending a ticket... about 100k-500k maple points[/quote]

Really? Under what section did they submit the ticket?

[quote=Darwin]The only unfair part about the whole situation is that they didn't even replace most items with clean version, though it's understandable as all the copies of the items we all had weren't meant to be in the game in the first place.

They should've done this a long time ago though. I lost my 183att 75% boss 9% att claw that I bought almost two months ago, and had they deleted the duped items right away in the first place, I wouldn't have wasted $120 on that claw. I'm not mad at the fact though, since I knowingly owned a duped claw (and 27att VSS, but I sold them the day after the removal of my claw so I wouldn't be losing more) and was taking that risk the moment I bought it.

Also, I sent a ticket about my claw (lol) and they just linked me to the notice about duped items being removed. It's a waste of time.[/quote]

That sucks bro! Yea I completely agree - they should have deleted the duped equips immediately!
Guess I won't send in a ticket then...

Duper gets all the money, innocent people get nothing. Seems about right.

[quote=iStarBright]You could send in a ticket, but I'm not guaranteeing they will give anything to you. It's worth a try?[/quote]

BTW Do you know what section/sub-section I should select when submitting a ticket?

Cube your own equips/ only buy premade empress equips (minus 40+ att duped ones that are too good to be true). Problem solved.
