ALSO i would like to point out to you that Merchants buying and reselling DO NOT CAUSE ANY MORE CHAOS SCROLLS TO BE ENTERED TO THE MARKET. Nor do merchants cause the price to deflate. Blaming merchants is like blaming toyota for making the get away car the bank robbers used.
Let me make things a bit simpler for you guys. Say hackers kill pink bean and sell the 3 rock of times. Merchants buy and resell them. no matter how many times they are bought and resold, there are still only 3 rock of times. Merchants don't make more rocks of time, they don't use them to make stuff. People who use them to make stuff gain an unfair advantage in the game by having something that is only able to be obtained by hacking (timeless weapons). So the 2 groups who fk up the game are the people who are hacking pink bean and the people USEING the rocks of time to make timeless weapons for them to use. The merchants just do the exact same thing they do every day with every item, they buy and sell. Merchants don't cause more pink beans to be killed, merchants don't add timeless weapons to the game.
Both parties deserve punishment. Right now you're arguing the code of the federal government, USA"s constituition to an extent. Let's say X makes a lot of counterfeit money, I transfer knowing something's up that he's giving me 40$ for a bottle of coke. But I take it anyway because it's profit. I then go to subway to buy a new soda, the dollar looks conterfeit, bam I'm in pomegranate. If person I originally transfered for the counterfeit money is caught, he'll be prosecuted. Now I'm sure through explanation especially for $8 the most you'll get is a police report. However it is an extreme, therefore this situation's actions will differ as will the results.
However I am extremely skeptical those who used this hack were just slapped with a temp.
