Nexon Banning Hackers, Unexpected Competence Very Welcoming
Its finally happening guys... They are really doing it, they are acting on our reports more frequently when we submit them.. For the past 2 or 3 weeks I have noticed them banning hackers, but to actually see them banning players I have noticed using hacks brings a lot of hope for righteous justice in this game. Even if they make new chars to hack, even if they continue, I still feel safe knowing we can report those fools and those chars, or account of chars will be banned. Its an interesting next step, and if this is truely for real, I am damn happy about it and you all should be too.
Its a good first step to having a less polluted game with those losers!

[quote=NiceGuys]"How do i report?"[/quote]
Oh that... Ya I kinda facepalmed at that too... To be fair, that player didnt really ever need to report people before so that was a function that they did not bother using.
Edit, To player above, you are referring to the hackers being losers right? I, in no way was trying to side with those idiots or discredit Nexon America; I am unclear of your sarcasm to my reasoning of making the thread, but I am patient and reasonable enough to ask what ya meant.
Making a thread about nexon banning a couple hackers
Call [b]them[/b] losers.
Seems legit.
"How do i report?"
Well, as Derejin mentioned they could be doing just that, showing us who they ban. They do this probably because some people just dont understand the already described process of how they do things at the HQ... Nexon America employees, namely through GM Blogs have already told us how they deal with maintenances, giving us content, reading on other forums and trying to keep the game as stable as possible. It may be hard for most maplers to understand given the current circumstances, but trust me, it should get better soon enough.
I also find it odd why people are saying these are like public executions, jeez, this is just a freaking game, why with the grotesque comparison
Like, they have done this kind of thing in the past and I posted what I havent seen in a looooong time, which is one reason I was excited about it. Was kinda expecting more realistic responses than the occasional generic pessimistic troll trending ones. I guess only some can truely appreciate justice thats been served and even though those idiots may make new chars, then those will also get banned, a never ending circle... Even if this seems pointless to have players view these bans, it at least shows that the company cares about us and our interests and they are trying hard at it, meant to give hope to us and many other hopeless communities.
Its not perfect, but its a goddamn good start!
They're using scapegoats to make us stop complaining.
[quote=zEric7x]That its like saying somebody got killed but its nobody I know so who cares.[/quote]
That was a horrible example. Might wanna try a different one.
Its like public executions scare tactics are an easy way to make you "think before you act" by announcing this some hackers will actually get scared away of course the professional ones will stay but hacking will never cease.

Now for them to start taking action to our tickets.

Please people go to their Official Website and please tell me how many games you see? Cause I see 8 Desktop games and 4 Other games...now sink to my level for just a second and hear me out. Maplestory has easily their largest community of all the games they run, however is not the only game they run. Imagine the hacking issues in Vindicitus (I played it, there is tons of hackers), how about Combat Arms? Nexon has a staff of I am going out on a limb and guessing....130 people max in their building. So that includes everyone from Janitor>CEO, of that 130 I would say 40-50 people have the non-development team roles. An even then devleopment team isn't solely limited to just Maplestory.
Long story short is, They are working their hardest, lay off Please?[/quote]
nexon only has 100 employees, not 130. source: better business bureau. wow has over 4k.
@darklord666: It's true, already had a user call my an idiot. The immaturity of this online forum community never ceases to amaze me, but I guess until these kids grow up and experience the real world outside they will never understand
@squire7766: Those also get banned. However other hackers take their place. It's just the circle of maple life.
[quote=Glazedmaple]But I really wish they would undo the drop rate level restrictions.[/quote]
I so wish Nexon would do this. >_<
[quote=Skyenets]@squire7766: What are you expecting them to ban otherwise? Account hackers? That would be impossible. Dupers do get banned, so that is out of the question as well.[/quote]
No, of course not. I was referring to people who sell hacked leech.

What i think they're doing is showing the banned players across worlds. As in, players banned from scania show up on Bera for example and vice-versa.
I did notice one little thing; most of the hackers they are banning are either harmless, but irritating advertisers or hackers who are simply farmers. I've yet to see anything otherwise.

Well said. Shame that most who would read this would not take it seriously anyways... Trust me, I have tried to reason with them, let them vent, let them continue their masochistic rants. +1

[quote=Kazzooey]Uh my question is how the heck do you have 11k hp on a Marksman without Hb? O.o Did you Hp wash?[/quote]
No hp wash, just always kept 6O base str to get the hp increase per lvl... I also have other buffs from event chars with link skills to help. I plan to reset the points into dex though when I can, but its been a pretty good tactic so far to get hp.
@Merchant1014: Hahahaahaa.

Put it this way, most people hate housefiles.
You kill a couple houseflies in your house, there are billions out there, can't say you've done much.
Nexon bans a couple of hackers they see while strolling through the maps (which aren't hard to find), there are thousands out there, can't say they've done much.
EDIT: Also, Nexon is taking the wrong approach. They shouldn't be wasting time banning every individual hacker, they should only do that upon reports. They should be attempting to stop hacks at the root of the problem, flaws in their coding and security.[/quote]
It is impossible to fix hacking. Hacking will always exist because there is no 100% full proof security. Instead, most other games step up their banning, and people are afraid to ban so they don't do it anyways. Because Nexon hasn't done anything before this, hackers were bold and thought they could do whatever they want. Still, Nexon's security still isn;t very good, and the scare tactic isn't going to work because people use mules, but it might lessen hackers some more if they can ban them quicker.
This is the work of @Kira!
He shall bring righteousness to the maple world!
[quote=Skyenets]I'm wondering if they are actually banning more people or just decided to show the message instead of hiding it.[/quote]
This is what I told all my friends when they first did it. I swear it has gotta be for publicity so people actually feel that nexon is working for them. Thats why they made that bug list too, so people would know that the problems were acknowledged instead of raging 24/7
[quote=Rezoina]It's like public executions! Nexon looks more like a very communist/facist government. But it's all good.[/quote]
Not to mention our partaking in such a government is completely volitional... We look more and more like the common, innocent folk that get manipulated and end up dying from the consequences of our government's dictatorial actions. :l
Uh my question is how the heck do you have 11k hp on a Marksman without Hb? O.o Did you Hp wash?
Lol you legits don't realize that they were always banning people, it's just now they do this notice to shut you people up about them not banning.
nice photoshopping this is not real when do gms do theyre jobs o.o o.o o.o
Why are all their names like a90hfjdaj9nd...
Me, my guildies and a random person in my MDT map were like "WOAH WTF" the moment when we saw the notice. Now looking at all the other pictures posted and other people's reaction, I notice EVERYONE reacts like that. Kind of funny and unexpected to see that happen xD
Reporting doesn't do anything. They've been banning hackers, they're just announcing it as a scare tactic so less people will hack.

Though I agree, its easier said than done...
banning mules wont do much, They need to ban main accounts. But if that person doesn't hack on their main account then they cant get to em, dayum shame
ok now ban the hackers at lhc
Funny because there's still plenty of hackers at crockies o.o
Oh yay you knew who fjdklsfjsdklfdskl was and he got banned!
I wonder if those are botters who got their job done since weeks ago though.
Hackers create new accounts to do their stuff with anyway, let's hope it's recent so they get screwed over.
Skyenets, that is actually a good point but I would rather believe they are doing their job and give them rare gratitude that they deserve... They had mentioned on the official forums that they would be doing this though, so I kind of see myself veering to the positive possibility that they might actually be doing something about these people. Its about damn time too!

I got followed by some hacking Jett for two hours and I got my BL to report her; she didn't get banned. Not impressed, Nexon.
those IGNs.... just... m... how do i put this into words...

Botters never really bothered me anyways, sooo..
I could ban hackers too. All of us could too. Nexon needs to do more.
@Skyenets:
Wow, I never even thought of that.
I'm wondering if they are actually banning more people or just decided to show the message instead of hiding it.
