New hacking epidemic

This is what Item Locks are for.

Item locks are nice, but besides being NX-expensive, they don't solve the whole problem:
- You can't lock your meso or your NX.
- You can't lock valuable non-equips such as scrolls, books, apples, pieces of time, jewels and crystals.
- If you're a merchant you're likely to be holding any number of valuable equips you actually want to sell.
- Most people don't have end-game equips. What they are wearing is very important and valuable (if only to them), but they will want to replace it at some point. So which lock to get, to avoid getting stuck with unsellable and unused equips, and also avoid having to buy another lock later?

Hacks and exploits will always exist, it's an eternal race between the white and black hats. But Nexon has to at least try to keep up. Exploits that were used a year ago should not work today. Not to mention ancient history as Eos mentioned.
