Personally I only get the won't close bug, a friend of mine has won't close + memory leaks.
I've also heard of a lot of people with both of those plus CPU maxing out.
If we could get some kind of confirmation from Nexon that this is an issue they're looking into, that would be nice.
I could not find nor recall any maple memos that address this fact.
Other than this topic being moved from Bug Reports to Tech Support and one post from @scholar624
Nexon or the VFM haven't seem to have noticed/acknowledged this ongoing issue.

These issues seem to originate from the update near the date of the original post, as I nor my friends had any similar issues before that patch.

maplestory wont die. as much as haters and hackers wants it wont happend
maplestory allways will be around with or without nexon no matter how bad they run the servers maplestory will and is finding the way out

sure nexon lose servers and regions and act as is all cool but maplestory is around still and will be
maybe not as good as early days but its about time when they will start listen or someone else take over
nexon cant just mitigate the problems and keep grab cash to justify "10b market sale worth"

Hackers don't want the game to die. They profit off of it, why would they want to kill the golden goose?
"with or without Nexon" last time I checked, Nexon wasn't exactly at the "abandon ship" stage.
Despite the poor performance over here, MapleStory is still one of the most popular MMOs over in Korea.
They also have I believe the #1 MMO over in China as well. They're not about to give up the rights to one of their biggest games.
In order to get your "without Nexon", we'd have to see some serious bankruptcy come out of Nexon.
That's IF they choose to sell at all. "someone else take over" requires this, Nexon could just let the game die and that would be that.

Some extra reading for you.

There's a lot more to a GM than just banning hackers. It's something you'd have to move to Nexon's location for.
Not only this, most hackers are banned via auto-detect methods. Humans are much slower at banning than AI is.
If you were to do anything related to banning you would probably just be teaching the AI how to catch people it hadn't already caught.
I doubt you'd ever personally ban anyone and the reverse would actually be the case, you'd be unbanning people that the AI false flagged if you could prove it was a false flag.

GMs these days don't really play games and go around patrolling for hackers.
They're mostly there for events, answering questions, looking into issues, etc.
Active GMs in the game will do almost nothing to cut down on hackers.
Every single server has 20 channels. We have 7 servers counting the two EU ones.
This means for EVERY single map in the game they have to check 140 versions of it.
A single map chain is thousands of maps they have to check.

Nexon is banning tens of thousands of hackers per week and sometimes over one hundred thousand.
There's no way a group of humans could hope to match that.
Black Cipher needs to be improved, not removed.
Removing it would just allow anyone to hack because they no longer have to get tools to bypass hack protection.

I'm am a returning; I Would like a potable badge; I'm not entirely sure what happened to them but I'm kind of sad that they took them away; I would imagine the player base isn't happy about this too. What was the reason Nexon took them away in the first place is there an official statement from Nexon?

It boils down to "These items are broken so it's easier to cut them off from new players than to remove them from those who already have them."

Please do not spread conspiracy theories about Nexon, thank you.

Those arent conspiracy theories ,what are u talking about? O.o
Hes just stating a reality, there are way too many hackers in this game,so many that legit players cant enjoy the game .
Hes asking for a solution from the company, yes they might be taking some action towards it but it doesnt seem to be effective at all, so what they are doing desnt seem to be enough.
Hackers , stability and 2 pc meta are the 3 main issues this game has and should be fixed as soon as possible.

The conspiracy theory was removed from the post. I even called it a conspiracy theory in the section removed.
It had very limit merit behind the reasoning but it did take a cool look into the business side of Nexon which I wish wasn't removed from the post.

You can check out this channel which has several of Nexon's business presentations on it.
It's nothing uniquely related to the business of MapleStory but rather it focuses on Nexon's business as a whole because it's for investors.
