This Ticket is questioning the legitimacy of this glitch.

Let me first give you a brief summary of the events in the past weeks. Around two weeks ago, there was a rumor started by yuanshuowu (FlowerEat of Bellocan) of the Sleepywood forums about Clean Slate Scrolls, when used in conjunction with White Scrolls, returns the slot at 100%. Thus, people began discussing whether this would work, why it would work, and then questioning the legitimacy of such, stating that "taking advantage of a glitch" is comparable to hacking.

Some time after, since there was no evidence that it would work, a few high leveled players decided to test this out, despite the fact that the clean slate scrolls and the white scrolls are ridiculously expensive (300m each), and then risked their items and their assets in order to prove that the scrolls indeed would return the slots.

After it was proven that the glitch indeed works with Clean Slate Scrolls, I began speculating that using a White Scroll with a Cape for Cold Protection Scroll or a Shoes for Spikes Scroll would give extra slots on Capes or Shoes, respectively. Nobody would try this, as people ridiculed the idea as a "waste of money", and so since the question had bothered me for a few days, I promptly borrowed a 170m from a friend (which I spent around a week merchanting and only by a twist of luck was I able to pay him back), and purchased a White Scroll (which inflated to 400m based on demand after the glitch was revealed) with my 230m savings, and became dirt poor.

Indeed, it worked:

and I was able to gain the extra slot and make my Cape a +6 item.

Now to the point of this Ticket, I hope that my actions do not constitute a ban. I did not take advantage of this glitch for the reason of bettering my items in an unfair way, I did it in order to satisfy my curiosity and desire for knowledge, and to show the world that it could in fact be done.

If there is an item purge (a speculation from the Sleepywood and Southperry forums) during this patch, I hope that you may have the forgiveness and the kindness to spare my account and my cape.

Please send an in game representative to talk to me, and thank you for your time and your patience.

P.S. I believe that Nexon really should start reopening Tespia in order to prevent such glitches. Although it was stated that the majority of the people sent meaningless bug reports such as "Oh, I was selected", or "Could you talk to me in game about my account", Tespia remained Nexon's most valuable tool to weeding out such bugs and preventing such problems. Should Tespia ever reopen, I would like to attempt to weed out such bugs
