Because fifth job and the Arcane River is still relatively new, it's obvious that many players are excited to become strong enough to get the new Arcane weapons. In my opinon, by banning them for buying these weapons, is like banning them for being overly enthusiastic about the game, which is something Nexon should encourage, not discourage.
Even if some of the people who bought the weapons somehow knew it was being sold by a hacker, what about the people who didn't know? Just ban them too just because? Even if it is considered a "participation of exploits" to Nexon, shouldn't intent be put into consideration as well? I'm sure many, if not all, of these players weren't intending to violate the ToS.
I'm also pretty sure if there was an unlimited stock that all players could afford, everyone would've bought the weapons. If that was the case, would Nexon really just ban everyone playing the game? Hopefully not, because that's obviously a bad move.
Not only does it make them look extremely bad, but doing this doesn't even help them or the community. Most of the players that were banned were some of the most dedicated Maplestory players. Losing these players will impact them, especially since there isn't much Nexon can do to bring in new players that will stay loyal to the game.
I definitely feel like Nexon should've just banned whoever that was using illegal third party methods and deleted the weapons from the game and left it at that.
This is very well written. I appreciate your insight.
Also to comment; i was indeed banned and also unbanned the same day. I do not play maple as often but my bf logged on my acc after finding out he was banned and told me what was going on. I was off rankings and was put back on a few days ago. As my ign is spelled incorrectly, please do not confuse me with another Cinderella. I felt it was unfair that I was the only one that was able to get unbanned while others were not able to, so i felt that I needed to do something about it. I'm already unbanned why should i care about anything else? These people being banned or unbanned does not affect me. But morally, I would want them to be able to receive the same leniency as me since we float in the same boat. Though these comments are ignorant, one should understand that the replies and the advice were solely given by Nexon themselves, not myself alone. As for anyone else who is aggregated by these hateful comments which seem tempting to flame, please do not feel heated to reply to these disagreeing comments and disregard them as irrelevant. We are all here to only support one another. And support is all that we seek.
Innocent or guilty these players are the most active and valuable to the maple community. Everyone made stupid choices, but wouldnt you like to be given a second chance when you make a stupid decision? If so give them a second chance regardless if they innocent or guilty.
that was never available in game free market.
Those players bought it with dollars from hackers in hacking websites.
Let me say, they not done it by mistake, they all pro players who knows very well that no one can obtain it legally (need 25 weeks to get enough coins).
Using this weapons before legit players its like using hacks, like ppl who use Frenzy totem hack (or duped) while other ppl try to obtain frenzy totem legally.
They took the risk, and got caught.
I don't care if they perm banned or not, but for sure should keep them out of ranking.
That means the thread starter lied about being banned for buying the item and then got unbanned. (see the comment on page 2 near the bottom)

And also the ONLY one out of these people that were able to get unbanned. I can assure you that we had no link to the creation of these weapons. And I am also working very hard with the MS team to get this issue resolved. I just hope that we can get the support of the community. Again, thank you; every effort and words of consideration is much appreciate.

Last Friday, from second pack of 11 books, I got no boom AEE, LGR and this ring. I really had no idea what the skill was doing until a guild told me. But hey it's a complete pure cheat to have a 1min cooldown on Bishop Heaven Door. There is the idea of what kind of deal its possible to do. It's a guy who have 3-4 pure funded characters and loaded of NX in MYCKBN (or w/e it is, dont remember order) and is in Lethal.

Frenzy totem is a x2 exp&drop cheat.. and 6 months after its still in game.
Breath of Divinity not giving Bishop Heaven Door, And 15 stars tyrant boots worth more.
Frenzy Totem is the same thing as Kishin, except slightly better. Kanna's been in the game for years, and pre-nerf Kishin was better than Frenzy Totem.
You're right, Breath of Divinity doesn't give Door. It's even better than Door because it saves you from any 1 attack when you use it, still regenerates its hidden HP shield afterward, and it has a 1 min CD.
