Potentially reserving a spot... Also, whoever came up with the idea of a stick figure based drawing competition deserves a promotion or two.

You could always use Boot Camp to install Windows alongside your current Mac OS.

As a Luna player, I'd like if GMS implemented flames. In my opinion, the flame system is a lot less pay-to-win -esque, and it also makes loot a lot more interesting.

In my opinion, the new player experience needs a major rework.

@Daxi.:Basically players, or me, can't read. It is the client who read it for us. But i don't know fi that is what you meant.
@Rolls : Because what you said doesn't even touch the skin of anything.
@Sliced :
1. About the Automation on doing quest, even though it will let their char do things aumatically, mostlikely it will act similar to players. Hackers might still gain advantages but not as bad as when they are hacking 1 map while gathering a lot of mobs in 1 spot and kill them simultaneously. But still gain benefit tho lesser.
2. Are you trying to say that actually hacker modified the game code, engine code or internal game logic? Is it possible to track players who does taking advantage/modify the game engine logic?
3. You are talking about breaching into memory. So actually hacker just simply crack maple code, memory and client?
4. Even if the Quests is made to be random of 5-10 quests, can task automation still read it?

2. & 3. When you start up a program on your computer, some data is put into the computers RAM. A hacker can then use varius tools to read and manipulate certain values and data in the program's memory, thus allowing them to exploit flaws in the game. Actual "cracking" of Maple's code isn't necessary. However, as far as I know, one can also illegitimately edit *.wz files that the game uses to store varius pieces of client side data, though I have less knowledge about that. To my understanding it's a bit like an *.ini hack or DLL injection.
4. If the task automation tool is programmed or "taught" to handle that, sure. It's not like botters can't make a table of all the quests based on the quest description.

2. So maple actually need to apply Crypto Algorithms,. And apply it into their game client security so that noone can read the game client. But mostlikely it will cost them sumj.
3. So it is actually not impossible but using complex anti-piracy that possibly will slow down maplestory game
4. Hmm all in all, the main trouble itself is the game client is easily cracked, readable and exploited
5. It is still possible if Nexon separate the data which not inside the game client so that hacker cannot steal the information.
Is 4 points i write above what you are trying to say?

This issue is not really about cyber security or encryption. No one is stealing anyone's data. The problem is that there are flaws in the game that can be exploited client side. If a crypto was applied in a way that no one can read the game client, neither can you.

Also, I want to remind you that you don't need to be an expert to know this stuff. The basics of programming are actually fairly simple, and getting a moderate, surface level understanding of most things would probably take a month of studying at most. A bit in the same vain that you don't need a PhD in chemistry to know why fats aren't water-soluble, and to know the difference between an acid and a base.
