Peep

it seems some players dont even know the numbers behind the scenes
am not here to defend anyone but the ban hammer its delivered around 10k~ish times per week the few active are trying
while others are... {data expunged}
if anyone has the ability of helping them please do... instead of complaining about it

Yeah sure they remove around 10k a week most of which are gold spammers and low to mid level hackers and gold farmers. Do you know how many gold spammers come to fm on a daily basis? Hundreds. Take that and multiply it across all servers and then multiply it across an entire week. You have a large majority of that number which are gold spammers banned mostly.

I've known this for a long long time. This is why my countless reports on player botters and hackers never get looked into or banned. Guess what. I have about 8 ongoing hackers and botters i have reported none of which have been banned. Guess when they were reported? Up to 3 months ago. Since then nothing has been done despite follow up reports and those botters have gotten far closer to 250. I actually think they're going to make it.

This is the garbage we have to deal with. It's very easy for one of them to go and catch these guys but 3 months has gone past and nothing has been done. They literally go at it all day too. It's just a sad state of affairs. I already make their job 1000x easier with my reports and clearly explain what is going on, when to look and explain in detail how the offender is macroing and if they still can't do anything after that it's a lost cause.

Now you know what GMS has had to deal with for the longest time. I really feel bad for you guys who came from EMS. We wish we had your old GMs. It can take weeks to months to get a single person banned and by then they would have hit 250 or simply not be botting or hacking anymore. It really is a sad state.

The solution is fairly simple but nothing gets done.

They won't make this happen, because it goes against their own TOS disallowing 3rd party programs.

It's funny you should mention that because it's also in the TOS for all those other MMOs. A service that helps out people and makes the game playable to people who otherwise probably wouldn't even touch the game can only be seen as a good thing. Why do you think they make this an exception?

Take Aion as an example. Horrible netcode and horrible routes to their servers for pretty much everyone besides the people who lived in Texas which is where the servers are hosted. Battleping a tunneling service fixed this issue for many people. Had a friend from Seattle use it. He used to have 80-90ms ping to Aion servers and after he used battleping his ping dropped to 30-40. People who are further out get even bigger drops up to 50% and believe me it's noticeable. Even NCsoft publisher acknowledged that people really need it.

This is exactly why it NEEDS to happen for Maplestory. It's pretty much the only MMO that has these services blocked.

Banning hackers doesn't benefit Nexon in any way, it's actually the opposite.

Huh? People leave games due to cheaters. Are you trying to say that benefits them? To them it's 1 less potential customer. They also ruin the market, though by now it's beyond repair. You have epic pot scrolls selling for 25m-30m a pop which is great but it lowers the value on so many items. They also take up loads of maps and training spots.
