Hackers have taken over Battle Square

Once again hackers have monopolized another event. To my chagrine, I seem to spend more and more time trying to find a place to train that isn't monopolized by hackers. Battle Square is a waste now. DGP and MDT are full of Teleport Mastery hackers. Yesterday I was in LHC and found one channel with a 6 person party of BaMs and they were all hacking. Anyone who has played MS for a while knows that hacking has gotten progressively worse. It seems to me that hacking is no longer a part of the game, it's the whole game. Your thoughts?

You know, not all hackers are the same....Half of hackers think it's wrong to hack in pvp, because for one reason, grinding on mobs for hours isn't fun, but pvp is. Some hackers go against pvp hacks.

[quote=sooshigotrice]I was in a game with hackers on both teams. I'm just wondering if everyone gets an enhanced points boost because I got abnormal points for even touching an enemy. Has this happened to anyone? No, I don't hack.[/quote]

Power Guard is reflecting their attacks back at them and since warriors have such high base HP the hacker generally dies at about the same time despite only taking 30% damage. Most of the hackers seem to have some weird hack going on where they flash back and forth between dead and alive so you get credit for killing them a bunch of times and your points skyrocket.

[quote=WinterRainDrops]Hackers piss me off. I've been at MDTs for a while now DESPERATELY trying to get an Angelic Blessing Recipe and all I get are hackers. (My luck is so horrible, I still haven't found one and I've been looking since it first came out) If you can't play legit, don't play at all. Worthless pieces of garbage.[/quote]

You make it sound like MDT's are your only source of ABR's

[quote=darkmonkey13]@BladeLust:
I'm just saying you're personally stuck-up and annoying, and I'd rather have hackers that are nice and "fun" hackers, rather than 100% legits who are stuck-up, annoying, and about as fun as HIV. If you don't like hackers in PvP, you can just not PvP, or report the hackers. Not my problem. The hackers in PvP are jerks, yes. That was already conceded by me before you came in, it's not a part of the argument. My point is: not all hackers are bad. You can think what you like, I really could not give a flying f'uck.
Also, just because you think you're a good person doesn't mean you are. Being a b'itch to everyone is being a bad person in my book.
@Mysteltein:
It's actually a decent point. I talked to a duper who told me that he was duping because he used to be poor, and got pissed at all the rich people smega'ing their 4att facestompers and 27%allstat VSS. So, he decided to make as many of them as he could and sell them for whatever the heck he wanted.
Never actually saw him again, fairly certain he got banned (a little irony: the lolhackers get banned, and the hackers that are game-breaking don't).[/quote]

Whoah, no need for calling names there. She wasn't being stuck up or anything, she's simply stating facts.

I think you mean that not all hackers are not nice, which is right. I've seen some that are kind. But they are all just as bad for destroying the game for everyone else. And it's not like you can tell them that "If you don't like hackers in PvP, you can just not PvP." It's not YOUR problem, yes, but legit players actually have the right to complain since the game is not designed to be played by hackers.

I think it is worse now. Before when I come to a map with a hacker, he or she would CC or move to other map to avoid being reported. But now, it just feels like they couldn't care less if they get reported. It's just ridiculous that we actually have to compete with hackers to play the game.

If your hacking to become a high level "pro", it's pointless. Sad really, you can't play legitly.

If your hacking to make real life money, that's a different story.

But noobs feel the need to get no delay hacks to beat everyone because they don't have the skill.

[quote=Desh]Get with the program. Seriously a large % of people hack. It's either become one or lose out. Take EMS for an example... pretty much everyone hacks. Even all the so called "pro" guilds hack.[/quote]

That's like saying every ballplayer should be juicing up on steroids to keep up with the ones that cheat to get an edge. No... the governing body needs to find a way to stop and come down on the ones that don't play by the rules.

Let's see:
Both of you, I can guarantee, have broken the Terms of Service. Actually, have either of you even READ the ToS through completely? You may not hack, but that's still quite as ban-worthy as
"Link[ing] to any page of or content on the Site other than the URL located at www.nexon.net;
Engage[ing] in spamming or flooding;
Engage[ing] in rude, unlawful, harassing, vulgar, obscene, hateful, threatening, abusive or otherwise objectionable behavior, including, without limitation, looting, kill stealing, making sexual comments and/or cursing;
Disclose[ing] your personally identifiable information or any other person's or user's personally identifiable information (e.g., name, e-mail address, telephone number, age, address, etc.) on the Site or through the Service, or web sites or forums related to the Site or Service, including without limitation the Forums discussed in Section 2.3."
yeah, you can go now.
I'm not talking about the hackers who auto-level, Ada. I'm talking about the hackers who just do things for fun, or as a robin hood-esque action.
I don't hack, but I know hackers that are probably more personally likable than you. Mainly because you seem like a stuck-up b'itch, but whatever.[/quote]

We're both on the Galicia server, won't it be awkward now if we run into each other? A hacker is a hacker; I couldn't care less why they do it.

I am seriously getting tired of PvP hackers. Before they could cheat in private and no one had to deal with it. But now, someone is cheating so they can kill me and I don't have a fair chance against them? I have a serious problem with that.

Being likeable does not make someone a good person. Some of the most charming people are total 'you know what' bags.

I don't even consider this bad. Instead of letting the hackers get to you, just exploit them.

[quote=darkmonkey13]I know hackers, and some of them are really nice people.
They're not doing it to level, they're doing it for fun.
Example: fly hacking around FM. It's literally harmless, and it's just for the lulz.
Example: [i][b]some[/i][/b] dupers. they make prices go down on items that are usually very expensive. As someone who isn't at max mesos, I'm fine with that.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but most hackers are extremely selfish, greedy and lazy. There are tons of hackers who hack to get easy and fast levels; so I don't see how you can think otherwise. They can ruin the game for legit players and some players quit out of frustration.
Why do people have such weak morals? No one believes in doing what is fair and right anymore?
It sounds like some of you would help a bank robber hold up a bank if he gave you a share of the stolen money.

Even if I could hack and get away with it, I would never do it. My parents raised me better than that, I know what is right and what is wrong.
And I'm pretty sure cheating and engaging in illegal activities is wrong.

From what i remember a few years ago, JMS had "the" most hackers of all Maple story games, with so many hackers JMS basically stopped caring about it and just had everyone hacking at all times, which ended in them getting some ridiculous exclusives, Like the fly ability, the 200 Mount early, the Monster Book, basic things to give to the non hackers.

[quote=ZombieNinja]i agree with the OP.

Desh.....shutup. not everyone hacks in EMS, its just as bad as us.

i think nexon needs to come down harder on hackers. i think if you get caught hacking once....you get perma banned. ban their IP adress too so they cant just keep makeing accounts on the same computer and hacking. make those hacking noobs have to buy an new computer!
hacking is for d-bags and losers who cant play legitly. if you argue otherwise then youre a d-bag too.[/quote]

Every friggin person i no in EMS hacks - most are coders from GMS anyways who exploit there when an exploit in GMS gets patched

1) I can find the occasional PvP match without hackers but yes it is annoying how most matches are dominated by them.
2) You can learn to ignore them if you try. Just report them and move on. There is nothing else you can do short of quitting. You can always quit the game if you want. If it isn't fun for you anymore. I still enjoy the game despite the hackers but they do annoy me. I wish they would at least go back to just botting to 200 and let me PvP in peace.
3) I tend to either ignore the hacker in PvP, report them, leave the room if there are only 4 people in so the game cancels, or hunt them down so they get slightly less points and I get to work off some stress by pounding on the virtual representation of the hacker at least...

>_> seriously? It seems like every time there's a huge outburst of hacks like this, someone says this. Does anyone not remember the original huge outburst? You know, when you'd walk into henesys hunting grounds, on ANY channel, and there'd be a warrior slashblasting the entire screen? I'd say that's slightly worse, because that was a map so common, and it was every single channel. Not to mention, they weren't just there.

Yep, it's impossible to get a PvP match without a SINGLE hacker.

The security is dying and hackers are strengthening. At this rate, 90% of everyone will hack in the future.

I see just as many hacking characters as legit characters. The security of this game is a joke.
