    Everyday I report spawn hack in pianus, nothing is done, for years hackers are there auto-spawning and kiling pianus... gg Nexon,honestly I don't think this company wants to solve the hacking issue.

    I bet they getting banned, its just that bots are like Hydra, Mythology Greek monster, kill one and two more will come (on same body ofc.. i mean computer).
    Only way to stop it is to MAC address ban, so they won't be able to open the game ever again on that computer.

    Or.. make it like in KMS, new accounts must have a phone confirmation.

    I don't mind I like both of them some say they don't want phone confirmation because it's to hard and stuff some say they don't have cell phone but to me it's easy.

    They could grandfather in all current accounts and only allow new accounts with extra verification.

    It doesn't even have to be limited to a phone number. They could come up with a unique solution like mailing in a form? Who knows, get creative!

    Also many people are probably concerned about losing the ability to have multiple accounts but there's no reason why nexon couldn't allow a sensible number of accounts connected to the same verified source. Something like 3-5.

    Of course, they should all be banned if even one hacks though.
