Nexon Removing Items

Hey Basilers,
Just curious to what Nexon was pertaining to when they stated "Some players have obtained items through illicit methods. Items in question will be removed from their inventory and storage." in the patch notes.
Thanks.

That's completely different from what he asked, he asked if the nebs were duped if his entire item would be deleted and the answer is no.
In your case, the items themselves were mass duped, not the nebs on them.
Take my word for it, if you have suspicion that your neb is duped or you are duping nebs, the easiest way to "hide" them from nexon is to throw them onto an equip.
Nexon doesn't delete those nebs or items.

[quote=solous]I have a few items with 4% all star nebs, will they get deleted? I don't get how they could do that. I spent a lot of money on the items and even the nebs were 3 bil each. How am I supposed to know if it's duped or not. They should not punish me for their lack of action and not disabling the duprs in the first place for releasing the nebs...[/quote]

Artasi confirmed they're mainly deleting nebulites. So %Boss and %All Stat nebulites probably.

I am almost sure MOST of the hacked items are usually the 4% all Stats, Boss 25%, No boom AEE and obviously the "Hacked" equips that has always been in the market...
From my knowledge, usually hackers would not hack for 4% Specifc stats as 4%All Stats does the same but better. Most likely those 4% STR are legit.

If not, that why you play safe and buy those 3% stats instead o3o. Or from people who freshly Gached from the Gachapon.

Question. If you bought a bunch of the duped nebs and they're on your equips already, will you lose your equips? It wouldn't seem fair because you could've bought them from someone who bought from dupers. And if they don't delete equips would you just lose the nebs? Also doesn't seem fair bc I've spent over 4b on luk % nebs and Nexon probably won't have any way to compensate for mesos

Hmmm no idea what items they mean by obtained through illicit methods. But I did notice increase in 25%boss dmg nebs & 4%all stats in FM (Kinda bought the 4%all ones also since I got tricked basicly ^_^) No idea if I should remove the nebs now or not, still got around 3hours time to think if I wanna risk losing my items.

@seroxyn I like that answer. I believe on previous dupes they stated explicitly that they removed duplicated items, so unless they reworded it I wouldn't just assume it's a dupe

Could be that the generated damage skins some people have will be wiped.

Everyone in bera is going to lose all their equips because we are the #1 Dupers

They're giving a heads up to the exploiters so they can sell their items to legit players so legit players can get screwed jk

Probably something untradeable/moveable within the account since it makes no sense for them to just announce it before the maintenance
