Sooo Righteous

To all the people who are like "anyone who took part in this exploit should be banned for life" - stop being so righteous. Perma-banning or hell banning so many people would only hurt the economy and would hurt the already dying player-base. Yeah, sure, the glitched items were commodities but these items are usables and once its patched, their prices will normalize once again. As for "godlies", nobody got anything higher than unique. It's not like we have 5000 301 attack cravens running around again. Even if several hundred players got a ton of unique items, the impact is pretty marginal. Unique items aren't exactly super difficult to obtain. It was a small exploit. Even if hundreds of people got uniques, whoop-de-do. I know that a couple of my friends want to start buying nx in order to legendary because "they're so close" now. If anything it'll help nexon sell more cubes. Also good luck doing a roll back with attendance and marvel.

To whoever stated that Maple only has 600 players at peak playing times according to Steam. That is only people who play through Steam. If you go look at the online population of the servers, at peak times it is several thousand, with Scania, Bera and Windia usually having more than 1000 players each

@xtripled Lolthis.
The only arguement I could say that would support the abusers would be through the market aspect. When this patch first came out, there were a few people doing these quests and selling the cubes. I'd only support the fact that some market victims wouldn't deserve a ban due to such an early introduction. It was actually plausible that the cubes were being farmed legitly. Of course, that idea was thrown out the window when the cubes were restocked every 4 hours.
OT: You have no idea how this market works lol. The market's crashed because more and more people don't know what to do, and they just start undercutting each other.
I wouldn't care if everyone could kill CRA if there was a sufficient amount of items that you could still sell. Of course, with things like marvel, the market gets shot because more noobs obtain items that are originally worth a lot, and they sell at more than a 65% discount. There's a reason why they don't get far in maple, it's cause they don't know what to do. Now how does this affect the glitch? If every noob's suddenly hitting 800k range, they can take CRA down, and they can crash the market.
Of course, this doesn't matter. I'm probably gonna get called some mad noob anyways.
I won't call myself self-righteous, i don't care whether or not you guys get banned. Just don't give a whiny fit when / if you do.

only people that agree with OP are the abusers themselves, hoping they don't get banned/punished.

As far as rollbacks go, there doesn't need to be one. Nexon could just slowly go through each account and hand out punishment like they have in the past. Not saying they will but they could.

wtf is wrong with Virtuosity? Have you seen those SWAG shades they give to those with Virtuosity. Virtue is a virtue.

being called SELF-righteous is an insult, being called RIGHTEOUS is SUPPOSED to be a COMPLIMENT. The virtuous know that there one can NEVER be too virtuous, the virtuous believe that one can never be too virtuous, the line IS the line between virtue and vice, the wicked believe that one can be too virtuous as one can be too wicked, there are TWO lines, one between black and shades of gray, and one between WHITE and shades of gray, but anything one is willing to do himself, is labeled as shades of grey, the human mind can excuse any evil, as no one wants to think of themselves as wicked, no one TRULY thinks of themselves as wicked, even if there's a picture of THEM next to wicked in the dictionary

which a full set of unique, 3rd-tier perfect pot, gear CAN be godly

[quote=flostradamus]so many people would only hurt the economy and would hurt the already dying player-base.[/quote] maybe, but stripping their accounts of all items will not have that effect. You cheat to the finish line, how about you go BACK TO SQUARE ONE! it HELPS the economy, the poor, dishonest, people exploit, the rich don't need to and the virtuous don't want to. It upset the balance of power in the economy

Sure, they're both atrocities, but one doesn't BEGIN to compare to the other. Point is, your taking the worst case scenario and replacing it with something that wound up being worse than one could IMAGINE unless they'd been there.

Except that accoding to a friend, steam says there is only 600 players at PEAK hours, that means HALF THE PLAYERBASE partook in the incident!

[quote=flostradamus]Unique items aren't exactly super difficult to obtain. It was a small exploit. Even if hundreds of people got uniques, whoop-de-do.[/quote]
Yeah, right! like unique potential scrolls go on trees. The rate of epic --> unique is only DOUBLE the rate of unique --> legendary, meaning that legendary isn't much harder to achieve.

first, they can extend attendance ONE DAY, second, not everyone is saying they should be PERMANENTLY wiped from the game, but a fortnight long ban/hellban and a warning that the next offense will be PERMANENT, and that they will be on probation for a month, If they are so much as REPORTED for something, they'll go straight back to being hellbanned for ANOTHER fortnight, they break probation 3 times, and theyre royally screwed

There's actually a reverse side to this that most people just don't seem to realize: if they buckled down and actually handled these sort of issues properly, I'm willing to bet many players would actually return to the game. They've lost tons of good, honest, and hard working players just because they continue to let these sort of issues go on with nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

As well, if anyone remembers when nebs, AEE's, and unique pots were duped they didnt remove them. I'm living proof of that, since when that happened i bought a bunch of nebs and unique pots and well, i used the unique pots and still have the nebs on my equipment, which is tradable. Sooo yea...

So we should just let players roam free, abusing exploits with no foreseeable consequences?

I'm so glad you're not running this game.

Your reasoning is flawed. While I don't think perma ban is just punishment a little time off to think about abusing exploits and bugs would do them some good. You need to think of it in terms of real items such as selling fake designer clothes. It's against the rules and deserves punishment like all other glitch/exploit abusers get,

I'd agree hell banning is usually pretty rough on the economy itself but. ALL of the people getting hell banned and perm would be catastrophic. The only thing that really came useful from the glitch even was people who used all the 100% pot's on stuff like clean RA gear. Those cubes are awful they are just re skinned occult cubes which is why they even downgraded equipment for a while.

Its because they abused an exploit, they knew it and thats against the rules. Nexon has the right to perma ban and I don't blame them
