compensation for 45b lost

so about last year i was hacked, loosing around 25b in equips and 7b in pure mesos.
then around 3 months ago, after i had rebuilt my characters, i was hacked again this time loosing around 10b in items and 3b pure mesos.
nexon closed my tickets and compensated me 1k NX and a hair coupon.
1K NX FOR 45B ?
should i submit another ticket because this is outrageous and down right disgusting.
ive seen threads of people who lost 15m getting 1k nx and that seems fair but my account has been in use for around 4 years and i buy nx on the occasion.
i dont know what to do and i was hoping for help from the basil community

@Stimlexa: But your PIN/PIC is useless without the password and username. Back then PINs were so easy to crack the hard part was getting the username and password. So if you got hacked during that time it was still most likely partly your fault.

U really shouldn't being hacked twice. If u are hacked the first time, please learn from that experience. If u are hacked a second time, nexon isn't going to be too happy o compensate u again. Also, thy don't even have to compensate u according to the terms of service.

[quote=alikcruz]This is the logic: you lost bytes and pixels.
As a compensation you get bytes and pixels.

Yes, but you paid real money for those bytes and pixels.

I lost a little less than you, and got compensated only the hair things... Tomorrow I'm sending another ticket, to see if they'll actually help me

[quote=timmybitty]If you got hacked 2 years ago it's most likely your fault. I don't think there was a database leak until the MTS thing this/last? year. Correct me if I'm wrong.

OT: That sucks. Personally I'd just stop playing. Pick up a different game or something. I don't play maple too much anymore and when I do I don't even bother funding my characters. With all these events it's really easy to get a decent amount of damage without actually buying anything.[/quote]

Yes, you are wrong. There was also the PIN/PIC breach, where if you didn't replace your PIN with a PIC right away, you were basically left wide open for these hackers to clean your account out.

@TheSinsher:
True but if someone went through all that trouble just to hack your account I feel really sorry for you. =P
Honestly if it really isn't your fault I don't think anything Nexon will do can help you. Like you said "hardcore hackers" can hack anything. ;D
I've been playing since beta as well. I've only changed my password 3 times and my PIN/PIC is probably the most obvious thing ever and I've yet to get hacked.
I guess some people are really unlucky.

Well this is what I got >.< :
Dear Mapler,

In an effort to provide the best customer service possible, we are closing a tremendous backlog of tickets. We are truly sorry that we must resort to closing your ticket. As an apology, we are gifting you a Hairstyle Coupon and a Hair Color Coupon. We know that coupons do not make up for the frustrations you have had to endure, but we hope that we can wipe the slate clean and start over.

Please be patient while we send you the gifts as this process can take up to 10 business days. Also, please understand that this is a one-time package for one character on your account, and that no further compensation can be given. In addition, you will have until October 10th to pick up the Cash Shop gift from the rewards menu. Once it expires, we will not be able to send you another.

We would also like to take the time to remind you that, while we do our best to make MapleStory a safe and secure place for our gamers, the security of your account is ultimately your responsibility. Never share your information with anyone, do not interact with suspicious characters, and do not visit untrusted web sites. We make every effort to keep MapleStory safe, but we entrust you with the responsibility to keep your account secure.

Please note that your account may have been compromised by a malicious web site designed to steal account information. A keylogger may also have been installed on your computer. We highly recommend that you run a virus and spyware scan in order to make sure that there are no malicious programs or keyloggers installed.

And finally, once you've scanned your computer, it is also recommended that you change the password, PIC, and PIN on your account for added security. Please refer to our Security FAQ for further details on how to avoid getting hacked or scammed. You can find the Security FAQ here:

If you bought lots of nx on your account previously, Nexon responds quicker and compensates generously. This is a little trick that always worked for me if I wanted to be compensated. I would log onto my account at a friends and let him do whatever he wanted. My account is now logged in from an unfamiliar IP address. I send a ticket about being hacked and always get compensated for atleast 50K MP+.

I frigging only get a hair coupon and a hair color coupon?

I spent around 200k NX on maple. Played since beta. Submitted my ticket frigging 2 years ago! (then submitted more later on because they did NOT respond!) Lost over 40b in equipment and 9b in mesos!

I earned all those mesos the hard way. Spent so much time with professions! My frigging password consists of 19 characters, including weird ones like this ; and my pic is not plain 6x0, it's a variation of numbers.

They blame me for their fault? Good bye maplestory, won't ever come back >.> Got hacked twice. The first time I did not knew about the ticket system so I got over it and started over (with the help of my buddy's) got rich and stuff, then got HACKED AGAIN! this time I knew about ticket system, sent a ticket and just got an response yesterday...

I won't start over again.... They'll hack me again sometime (mabey in a year or two)....[/quote]

[quote=Deadly1337]you got hacked twice, you deserve no compensation if your account security is so bad a 3 year old could brute force it.

nexon needs to not give compensation at all.. too many annoying self entitled kids expecting 500k maplepoints.[/quote]

lmao my passwords 36 characters long, not easy to crack, and i wasn't expecting 500k maplepoints i was expecting to get fair judgement or at least a response from nexon.

i bought around 200k nx on my mule (used to be my main account), lost like 1bil and a bunch of earrings. Got hair coupon and hair color coupon, not even 1k nx.. Probably because i hadn't bought nx in a year on that account.

Just make characters like mine, that aren't worth hacking. Never have more that a few dozen million mesos and use it to buy cheap and untradeable items. Don't buy mesos from meso sites and only buy NX sparingly or not at all.

yeah i got 1k nx and a 2x exp coup for losing 21.9k nx during the mts hack thing
$3 value for $21.9
whereas i've seen people who lost 50m worth of eqps getting $25+ worth of compensation
i think they just randomly throw numbers in there without looking at how much the person lost
