Hello maplers! (Bera Server)
1-Yesterday I started doing balanced furies. And I was going to buy black crystals at Auction House, and I saw somebody selling like 7.000 black crystals. To craft 1 black crystal, I think you need 6 of black crystal ore. How did this person got this amount? Is it a hacker or a normal player that plays a lot? I was surprised.
2-I saw that people were talking about the safe mode control button, that "removed" the familiar button. People said that Nexon is aware of this, that it's a bug. But anyway, what is this Safe Mode control for?
3-When I'm going to any map, sometimes I see mobs concentrated in one place of some map. Is it a bug?
If I miss any words, I'm sorry, English is not my native language and I am not yet fluent. Thanks for the consideration.

    7000 is definitely suspicious. i hoard a lot and even i only have like under 2000 of any refined plate or crystal.
    I don't have safety mode so i can summon familiar just fine so I don't know what it is
    probably a hacker did that

    Thank you for the answer. Unfortunatly I bought some black crystals... I hate hackers. I'll not buy more. I just do not want to get banned by "helping hackers". But I really didn't know about that. Thanks

    If they farm them on all their characters every day it would be all that hard to amass that amount rather quickly. It may be their major way to making money in the game. I've never seen anyone bot mining especially since they added the annoying directional codes that pop up every attempt or two.

    Yes, I hadn't remembered about the directional keys. Now I don't know... But for safety, I will not buy more black crystals. I'm afraid of getting banned. I didn't know about it as I said, so I think I shouldn't and won't get banned. I hate cheating/hacking, or taking advantage of them. I do not like to take advantage of bugs as well. Thank you!
    I said that I'm afraid of getting banned because I'm insecure, it's my personality, anything "wrong" that I do I think I will get banned.

    2. Safe mode is basically a mini lock and semi-freezes your game until you put your pin back in (basically it's just there in case you're playing Maplestory on a public computer and leave the computer for a bit, it prevents others from messing with your game when you leave it for like 3mins).
    3. No, it's not a bug, and like someone said, it's the result of a hacker using a "vac(cum)" hack, where all the mobs are 'vac'ed to one location to be to killed.

    nexon doesn't usually give bans over buying from hackers unless it is a severe case. That is subjective tho. It's always best to be safe than sorry. A hacker doesnt need to bot and mine for black crystals they can just dupe them

    Ok. But now I learned. I will not buy more if I realize that something is wrong. I but some items, but now I will be careful.
