Dem attack snowshoes

Players in possession of Violet Snowshoes that were illicitly created by the banned hacker character, DOTcurrencyz, will have those items removed and replaced with one clean pair in case they were unaware of the illegitimate origin of the shoes.

[quote=Saru79]Anyone know if the potential is getting removed as well? That would be kind of unfair, it makes sense to remove the attack on them, but the potential could have been achieved regardless of whether those shoes were hacked or not.[/quote]

They're removing the item all together, and replacing it with a clean new one.

[quote=ItzATrapp]It will be funny if they just remove all 27 att or more VSS.[/quote]

They can't. It's highly unlikely, but it's statistically possible to scroll a shoe with attack scroll and use chaos scrolls to keep increasing the stats to favorable conditions. All the tagged shoes will be removed.

I hope they don't remove the potential too... Spent way too much NX cubing them.

[quote=elloimalex]I don't think that's fair to the players who bought them legitimately and who spent lots of $ cubing them. At the very least just remove the attack from the shoes, but not the potential because attack VSS were duped not the potentials.[/quote]

I definitely agree with you. Regardless whether people knew this was duped or not, if Nexon can delete them from people's characters, might as well make those items clean while keeping the Potential stats instead of removing it/replacing it by a clean one. Bad business if you ask me, but good for their pocket.

Anyway those VSS could have been duped with Potential all along?

@elloimalex: Most players who bought them knew damn well that they were hacked/duped. No one forced them to cube it to have godly potential.
