I used 240 of those bounty hunter cubes on a single sw tattoo and it was still epic after the last cube. That's karma for you I guess.

By the way, the unban date for all bounty hunter abusers [url=http://i.imgur.com/71sZuJE.png]is now October 12th[/url]. That's pretty messed up for the 30 day people.

[quote=CherryTigers]Nexon did this as a scare tactic. They're hoping to scare people into not exploiting again. I honestly don't share the same point of view as you guys in the sense that nexon is desperate for money. Yes, this will also increase their revenue, but overall, I feel like they banned everyone because people never took them seriously enough so they simply abused exploits with the mindset that Nexon would not punish them.

I feel like Nexon intentionally took advantage of this exploit, waited for people to exploit it, and just hit everyone involved so they could send a message. Maybe they didn't intentionally allow this exploit to happen, but they most certainly thought it through very well: [b]Nexon never intended to keep everyone permanently banned. [/b][/quote]

yeah cause being banned for buying duped items in the past when they became public or having your items completely deleted weren't enough of a deterrent. Or even, weeks long hell bans. People are always going to take advantage of exploits because it's too tempting to resist for most people. Maplestory has a population that isn't as high as it used to be. Losing anymore causes financial problems. The game itself isn't exactly appealing to a lot of people given the amount of time/$$$ needed to become strong. There's also not much to do in this game if you don't enjoy merch-ing, training, or are not strong enough to do end game bosses. Could your opinion be correct? sure, but the money/population opinion certainly isn't wrong either. Could easily be both.

There are many decisions that Nexon has made that I have disagreed with in the past, but the more I learn about this game, the more I realize how well thought out most of the things Nexon has released are. Nexon has done some idiotic things in 2014 , but overall, I still believe they're a pretty smart company.

Feel free to disagree with me. This is just my little interpretation of Nexon's most recent bannings.

Jesus christ.

jesus christ nexon is so desperate

About time 1/2 of the population is allowed to play again.

[quote=Anthorix]Items galore.

Alot of people got unique tier items, with a 30 day ban penalty.

I'm sure we'll be seeing these equips on the market soon. also, a population increase/return (however small)[/quote]

Ah well, another second chance. I'm glad they addressed the consistency issue, and while I think reversing all perm bans is a bit too lenient, I doubt many of those people will be taking their chances next time. Overall, this is a good move on Nexon's part.

Trust me, the cubes sucked it was blown way out of proportion. Most I got out of it was bonus potential on a few things that didn't already have it,and epic potential on 2 of my equips. In fact, I lost 3% dex on my badge. I must say its really nice to get a second chance, and I'll be sure not to do anything stupid like this again.
