A way to stop the vac hackers

I've thought about many ways on how to stop them, first I thought if we just report them and they'll get banned. But they would just make a new char and keep doing it, besides who knows if they actually go banned or not. So I came up with this idea, it's a huge sacrifise since the legit players can't get any either, but at least the hackers would be stoped.

So my idea is pretty simple. Basically everyone just stop turning in those tree ornaments, then the tree would never explode and the hackers will get nothing. I know this will hurt every1 and I'm just as excited to make money with this event like most of you guys. But at least this is better then just giving up to those hackers and let them take what doesn't belong to them.

If u think my idea is good, spread the words around to EVERYONE u know, because this is gonna take all maplers' effort to work. If u think there's a better idea, discuss on this thread.

Oh well, I guess my idea fails. Sorta expected this, but I had no idea the trees auto explodes. Now all we can do is hope that nexon will do something about this.

The tree does not auto explode..

Like the Sunburst event or whatever, the whole server works to meet a specified amount of ornaments turned in, and when that goal is reached, the tree explodes.

[quote=Singvogel]Those who enter the map with a pet will get (supposedly) kicked from the map. If they try to enter with a pet multiple times, there's a chance they would be temporarily suspended (or whatever floats your boat).[/quote]

now lets send this to nexon =P

@laffingdead: What open channel? All the channels have at least one hacker there most of the day(10AM to 12PM EST)
@Yodin: If u over lv it so easily then what's the point of getting it?

Heres how:1.Get a Pet (Not a Friken Snail)
2.get Meso Magnet + Item Pouch, (Might just need item pouch, not sure)
3.stand on the far right on the platform with the penguin or whatever
4.Tree blows up, ur pet loots it all
5.Profit

Yeah i think that it has a low chance of actually working since some people are just too greedy to stop truning in those ornaments and hope that they can find a ch without hackers. But just spread the words around, you never know.
