We have yet to see Nexon take action into removing these "Illicit Items"
Announced on 1/5/12 on the Maplestory homepage
[quote=Nexon] Dear Maplers,

During the unscheduled server maintenance, we are addressing an issue with certain items with abnormally created stats and their circulation in game. These items pose a threat to the balance of MapleStory and to restore order we will be taking the following steps to eliminate the abnormal items.[/quote]

Yup, as Ow13 said, why should I spend $200 nx to scroll a godly gear when hackers can make it for free? Who loses? The legitimate players. We lose our lives, our money, our effort in properly playing this game. Hackers win and it affects everyone.

Which is why I've seen 255 attack items in Scania.

[quote=hero159]Well, considering tons of familiar hackers are stealing maps from LHC from legit players than yes, I would say it directly affects legits. In terms of the new exploit, I guess there isn't much damage done, since the economy is in shambles already due to HACKERS in the past.

OT: Maple Story was already ruined. You can't break what was broken already.[/quote]Stealing LHC maps?
Ive noticed EVERY single "legit" refuses to LHC unless a map is "glitched"
The maps arent glitched, it takes a HACKER to hack these maps to max/over max the spawn.
But somehow it is still legit to train in these maps, its only bad if someone is hacking by killing.

having 20 people using 160 attack sword is going to ks one person using a 900 attack sword bud.

Until other people learn how to do the exploit.

[quote=SharpAceX]So basically what you guys are saying is that because one person has more than you, your gameplay is hindered? So I'm guessing whenever somebody buys NX, they're hindering your gameplay. Whenever somebody lands one more extra scroll than you did on an identical item, your gameplay has been hindered. No. Like I said before, unless they're DIRECTLY interfering with your gameplay, they are not affecting you by having these items.

Is it fair for legits? No it is not.
But is it hindering legit's gameplay? No it is not.[/quote]

Lol. Just lol. It affects the economy a lot. Normal scrolled items or even perfected ones can't compare to these hacked items. So merchants have a problem with it too.

these guys are the hackers, but these are actually the pro ones that I have a little bit of regard towards
even though they tend to add to the chaos

im glad dots only selling the weapons to the public tbh.
if that's really true that makes me feel alot better about this. because we already have 600 attack stonetooths, 300 attack cravens, and 300 attack nisrocks so in all seriousness having 300 attack weapons for other classes is just making it more equal.

so not as bad as it could be tbh

[quote=SharpAceX]I still fail to see how people owning these item affect you. Hell, you wouldn't even KNOW a person owned this unless they showed a pic OR you've seen their damage. You guys are acting like Nexon should just shut down MapleStory for good because a few people have super-powerful weapons.[/quote]

If you look at the equips they're wearing, it's pretty obvious.

the background of one of the items (stirgepants) it has a smega saying (40k nx per extra slot) they're clearley selling an exploit and amping items, its really up to the legit players that are fine with being "Weak" not to buy these items, its fine for a hacker to be strong imo due to the fact that it moves them out of a training area faster than it would otherwise, and even though there are currently alot of hackers it really wont affect anyone unless your account gets hacked, or you are ADAMANT on staying in one channel and one training map, in short, this shouldnt affect anyone much other than the rich kids that make themselves less legit and claim that they have true power derived from false empowerment, and the hackers who may or may not get banned either way =

I still don't understand why there isn't an a/b on items scrolled more than possible/over 20 stars or something.
Such a simple solution

Omg... wow. This is just... out of control. All of those hacked weapons and equips, and are probably going to get duped to hell. 0.0

Well, I'm proud to know that I am still a legitimate player.

I think the potential system is fine, it's just the exploits and hacks.. I mean, some of the exploits were okay.

It's funny because people say they quit, yet they will be back in a few months. It has happened to me plenty of times :c

Oh, and by quit I mean quitting MS and not visiting any MS related sites like Basil, Southperry, KMS Blog etc

They need to be priced at like $200 to make sure half the world doesn't get them/want to dupe 50000 of them and release them to everyone.

Feel bad for ppl who spend $ on Maple. It's not necessary at all and it's quite pointless. Someone is always gonna be stronger than you and cheat they're way to it/spend tons of $ to get there.
I miss when Maple wasn't so full of super damage/hacked weapons, when a 10 attack work glove was considered awesome and to get a 10 atk, you would gather up 5 60% GFA scrolls and hope they all pass... Now? uhm just go to MTS or FM and buy a 27 atk, woohoo. Maple's ruined is an understatement, it's dead.

Edit: @10734, exactly. Before when maple was like this, people always aimed to scroll their own weapons fairly and be proud of the outcome, now it's 200+ atk things and 27 atk shoes/gloves that were duped many times

[quote=SharpAceX]Explain to me how somebody else doing 100 billion damage per minute ruin the game for a legit player anyways? UNLESS that person is KSing, how does them being super powerful hinder your ability to play. That's like saying "Oh a GM has the power to ban people! They're too powerful! This game is ruined!".[/quote]

Makes a bigger gap between the "rich" and the "poor". Egos boosted through the roof so expected annoying smegas and taunting. Just the sight of weapons/equips that are just obviously illegitimate is sickening to look at (I'm talking about EE or Golden Hammer hacked equips). I didn't know GMs exist?

I agree, but hacked weapons have been seen as methods of KSing and a lot of us have seen hacked ST and Craven users KSing at LHC. It doesn't ruin the game but incredibly hinders the people who play it if they don't own it. Luckily I own a Craven so most people who KS me or my buddy and guildies don't have much to worry about.
