I find this arguement that Nexon isn't within their rights to do what they are doing humorous. Maybe the challenges would hold up in court, maybe they wouldn't, but what is wrong with trying? It is blatantly obvious that the other side is causing harm to not only Nexon, but us as players. We should be thankful Nexon is taking out the stops to stop this.
When you get on a gun and step on the battlefield don't be surprised when the other side starts shooting at you. These hackers have gone to war with Nexon and now Nexon is returning fire. You may not like it, but that is the way it is.
After repeatedly being KS'ed by hackers at Big Foot, Anego, and Headless Horseman I have absolutely no remorse for hackers and the people/sites/institutions that make or promote them. Hackers are bad for the game. We don't want them. We aren't sorry for them or the sites that promote them. We are glad Nexon is playing hardball.
On the arguement that "Nexon should improve their game" to shut down private servers. That has got to be one of the most ridiculous statements I have heard. Nexon is improving there game, but no matter how much they improved it Private Servers would exist as long as they were allowed too regardless of the quality of Nexon's product. Private Servers exist because players want to altar the game experience. They want to take the short cut to getting to 200. I don't have a problem with private servers and player continued environments after the game has been discontinued and abandoned. As long as the company is still servicing the game allowing PS to exist simply is a cancer taking away from the game.
Regarding the economy. Like most games Maple Story has milestones. It used to be something special if you had Ilbis in your inventory. You worked hard at it, it was a goal, people looked at you as a pro if you threw Ilbis. Now they are just another star. It used to be special if you had Maple Warrior 20. It was expensive and hard to get. Now thanks to hackers instead of being a goal to work towards tons of people have Maple Warrior 20. One of the few items that I can think of that is still somewhat exclusive is the lvl 90 dexless claw
Why dont we just all start out at lvl 200 with perfect equips? Thats what hackers grativate the game towards. Something for nothing, and something for nothing is dumb. I had a bunch of friends that glitched from lvl 51 to lvl 71 with Orbis PQ. Guess what lvl they are right now a couple years later? Yup, 71. They got something for nothing and it made the game boring.
