First off, Maplestory is the most active game that Nexon has so far, and I believe 2nd is Combat Arms. Also, this is considering ALL servers, not just my server. Anyway, imagine Every weekday, 2000 people (im using minimum values, considering every server) buy 4 hour leech at wherever. This is for weekdays, a 24 hour period. Lets say 1000 of them buy a 2x card, which costs 2 dollars. There is about 20 weekdays in a month, so nexon would be losing 1000x2x20 dollars JUST on weekdays. Thats 40,000 USD lost in 2 days. Now lets calculate weekends. Obviously, weekends are when people don't go to school/work, so the number 2000 would go up to around 10000. There is 2 weekends per week, so around 8 weekends per month. Lets say half of them buy a 2x card, which is 5000. 5000x2x8= 80,000 USD. So the MINIMUM total is around 120,000 USD a month lost, just for patching leech. I didn't even take into consideration the 2-3 extra days of the month, and MORE than 50% usually buy a 2x card. Also, my number of leechers could be too low. The grand total is around 1.5 million USD lost per year. Now that my friends, is what I like to call UB3R F41L. Considering these were minimal factors, lets multiply the grand total by 1.5 shall we? Over 2 million dollars lost? .... Taking these into consideration, I doubt nexon will ever patch leeching. Discuss. PS: My numbers are for ALL Servers selling leech on MS (there is 10 servers right?)

You can probably find Nexon's net income/worth somewhere online. Google it. At least there's a source for that online, while yours is from...Well...Your butt.

Owow. You're right. When I saw the title, I was thinking... Hmmm must be something about money. What's in the CS that leechers use? 2x. And you're right.

Search it. There's a trusted site out there somewhere.

Besides, the numerical values are much higher then I stated. It is probably way more money than this that they will lose.

Who cares anyways if their losing that. Not like virtual items cost anything for them anyways.
