@starfoxhgss: Well, honestly, they have no way of knowing who bought them legitly or not.

People can lie.

[quote=3moRaccoon]I agree. But you need to understand, it's all for the better. It's better late than never, honestly. If they kepy them longer, MORE people would have spent money on them and more people would be angry. At least they did it. I'm happy with it.

Also, how old are you? /creeper mode on[/quote]

Yeah I know its for the better and i'm all for the deletion of duped stuff.
Only part that is annoying to me is that we got no compensation at all (lolcleanvss)
when some of us cubed the shoes and such.

Anyone who bought duped items knowing they were duped deserve no sympathy for the lack of compensation. The only people who should be complaining here are those who were the victims of Nexon's imperfect process (e.g thoser who got bought clean items, upgraded them legitimately themselves, and then had them deleted with the rest of the garbage).

I also can't imagine how anyone would be fine with the hypothetical situation that Nexon chose to profit from this (we really love conspiracies here, don't we?). I mean, it's like seeing a forest on fire and letting it burn for a year, even though there's plenty of water available to put it out in a few days.

@povveriess: I lost my belt, that I fail scrolled, but I had made legitimately by a friend. And I spent God knows how much cubing it to legendary. So yes, legitimate equips wer e in fact deleted.

[quote=thomas1985]How sad to plea for compensation when people themselves are to blame for making such obvious bad decisions. Of course Nexon should have removed the items earlier, but their lack of action shouldn't have made anyone believe that buying duped gear was ok. The fact that Nexon gained money of this is fine by me. It will be a good warning that people should play by the rules. The people that quit because of this will not be missed.[/quote]

I still think its unfair that people who spent money on this weren't compensated.
It was a cheaper way to upgrade your equips without spending even more money on a non duped item, and the
regular players who bought this shouldn't be punished as bad as the hackers who made the item.

[quote=darklord666]@ShadeCaro: Because they are morons man... I really do agree that it sucks that Nexon removed those items, but to prevent more damage to those who were actually thinking of buying equips like that or have not yet been affected by the generated meso or NX (therefore protecting whatever integrity that the maple economy had left) and as a company that made the game while catering to its community, they had to do something rational about this issue before it got any worse. This issue was on a worldwide scale not just the usual small percentage of people who usually are able to afford those illegit equips. They made the right decision despite it unintentionally affecting those who did not deserve this to happen.

I may have had about 3 or 4 VSS clean on a mule or 2 in inventory due to fighting The Boss recently, they may be gone but it beats knowing that Nexon did absolutely nothing to protect the integrity of the game economy. They actually made some positive difference whether we see it or not and we have been through way worse than this. Nexon even apologized about all this too; May not get our NX, meso or equips back, but it shows they have some humility and care for its audience rather than the hackers only wanting our money, getting away with this fraud and not giving a damn if our world burns or not.[/quote]

Oh well. I mean, 43-48K isn't bad at all for a clean range.

@darklord666: Either way.

The fact that they had clean items duped, just seriously. Why.

Again... A problem that could be solved. Why waste money on something that could potentially be duped if you can get one for free from The Boss. When you plan to buy something, sometimes it helps to know of alternatives. I dont say this at all out of spite, just to bring it out there so maybe a lot of the blame should not be Nexon but those who started this crap in the first place, the dupers.

[quote=darklord666]Kind of the reason they needed to remove all of them... You try sorting through hundreds, maybe thousands of items at once. Even so, what difference does it make if a clean equip such as VSS was removed... Not like a lot of funding is used on it. Just go kill a The Boss and get another one.[/quote]

[quote=ShadeCaro]So if two clean VSS came to you, both with the same stats.

You can accurately point out the duped one?

Please, share with all of us your information.

Come on.[/quote]

I totally agree with you on everything. If they were gonna delete it at all, they should've done it when they came out. Nexon's way of taking every advantage to make more money (deleting duped items right before a black friday sale that absolutely sucks in all honesty) just disgusts me.

who would pay that much to scroll so mini vss like that then pay more to name tag it then sell it off? clearly duped
its not like everyone didnt smaga the item/ didnt get how its a duped item in a counter smaga[/quote]

One of the VSS's I bought was completely clean and I self scrolled it.

Okay, it was duped. So it got removed, I understand that. But how the heck does a normal player know whether an item like that is duped or not?

[quote=povveriess]There were [b]no[/b] legitimate items deleted. The ones you and everyone else must be referring to are the ones that were GM scrolled; those scrolls were illegitimately obtained and I think its fair that they were deleted. Heck, I even have a GM scrolled dagger and I understand if it were to be deleted. I won't cry or complain about it if it were to happen.[/quote]

I agree. If you bought an obvious duped item, then yeah, it's a lesson for the future.

But what if the item is completely clean? How the hell are we supposed to know whether a clean item is duped or not? And it has no tags.

Really, I wish Nexon posted a notice earlier and not do it suddenly.
