Unused Gachs will be removed
For those wondering why players still have their "exploit gachs".

There will be no rollback.
What's happening behind the scenes:
1) Price was corrected 2) Accounts who purchased were blocked to prevent further damage to the economy 3) Tomorrow, unused Gachapon Tickets will be removed from player's inventories and players will be refunded Maple Points equivalent to each ticket being removed 4) After this is processed, all accounts will be released from their blocks pending any additional investigation
Edit: Lol disregard it seems I was ninja'd by Nexon already

@risingrain Initial permas for this one weren't really going to be permabans at all. They just had several gm's in a frenzy banning as many people as they could to contain the problem until they could figure out what was going on. It wouldn't make sense for someone who bought 1 or 2 packs of gach tickets to be permabanned, or for someone who was gifted a single pack of tickets to be perma'd.
Also, I bought 2 (22 tickets), and I'm not profiting nearly as much as people who bought hundreds of thousands. I say what I said to warn people to be wary of what they take advantage of. You can safely say that if Nexon does misprice something again, you probably won't get punished (and shouldn't, its not your fault). However if you choose to exploit bugs like the bounty hunter boxes to get an unlimited number of cubes, you're going to get permabanned, and you're at nexon's mercy as to whether they'll unban you. If that's a risk you think is worth taking, then you go ahead and take it.
[quote=loxiona]People keep saying this, but in this case the misprices were legitimate sales from the cash shop. The price was clearly marked and you could buy as many as you wanted. Clearly and very much so a mistake, but there was no 'exploit'. There was no bug or glitch to exploit.
Nexon will not hesitate to permaban if you exploit a bug or glitch, such as the bounty hunter exploit or similiar exploits.[/quote]
You can say that all you want, but I'm thinking you probably profited off this one heavily so you want to scare possible competitors off from trying the next time something like this rolls around.
Everyone who got perma'd from the bounty hunter exploit was released. Many people who abused this one were initially perma'd as well.
Dupers even get second chances by talking to GM live chat. There's no reason why you shouldn't risk it all, at least until Nexon gets more players (lol).
dats the spirit! it should be just like this.
glad my nexon has grown up into something else, althou it still takes them a while to realize this has no impact to the economy at all.
they made way more money then any other gacha update/sale anyways. making $10 profit per purchase with 100 sold or $1 profit per 10000 sold?
no one is hurt both party wins~!
they finnaly learnt somethign from last bounty legend event.
i wont say suck for those who didnt buy only coz nexon admitted even at this price gacha is sitll no worth doing anyways.
but anyways annoyed to see those righteous kids.

Nexon will not hesitate to permaban if you exploit a bug or glitch, such as the bounty hunter exploit or similiar exploits, however.
