I'm not talking about those who tease you or those who hack accounts, if you'd see someone vac hack in a map (When there are clear channels so you could train somewhere else) would you report him? Poll's in male gender but is addressed to both males and females. For all you NEXON haters Here's a present from NEXON: (Official Site) (Official Site) (Official Site) (Official Site) (Official Site) 6,692 bans in 1 month. Some personal info for the curious who's willing to believe: I used to be a hacker in khaini a while back (2006 or so) until I've got banned and stopped playing, after a while I came back to maple into a new world called 'Bellocan' started fresh with the temptation of hacking yet considering my low amount of interest into learning how to use the hack tools I played legit. Believe me or not I seriously couldn't care less.

And even if the polls were correct, some of those voters might be hackers -shifty eyes-

[quote] thisisbranny : Did you know.. people can LIE ? OMGWTFBQQ [/quote] Since when? [quote] Skyenets : I'd report him, simply because it's against the ToS to hack. If you see someone stealing something in a store, you'd report it. Why? Because it's against the law. [/quote] The law? There is no comparison here this is a game, in a PvP game a person who's amazingly strong which kills everyone in sight would you be annoyed by him? yes but it doesn't make him a true killer, do not compare maple story and real life. [quote] IceWizard310 : I used to report these hackers whenever I see one... But now I give up because nothing EVER happen to them... Every time I report them, I jot down their IGN.. Just to check at the ranking in the future whether they are banned or not.. Guess what... nothing happen to them... So I don't bother to care anymore since "THEY" themselves don't seems to do much about these hackers... [/quote] No? (Official Site) 1868 Bans in a month. Is that nothing? (Edit: not even a month, 6 days. 1868 bans in less then a week. if that's nothing I'm a jar of honey) @taotapp Why the third option then? Wouldn't you choose the 4th? Is it because the thing that bothers you the most is the fact that he's cheating and not the result of it that you chose the third?

I'd report them. But I doubt Nexon will do anything about it. If you saw a long time ago, you'd be punished for ksing and scamming. But I don't see any ksers or scammers banned anytime soon. :/

I would report him, there's no reason not to.

[quote] taotapp : The third poll option doesn't get a lot of support, and I like playing Devil's advocate. Having said that, I picked the third option. On principle alone, cheating of any kind is wrong. It undermines any supposed value that a level has, and it undermines the work of other legitimate players. It could affect no one, or it could affect everyone. I'll report them regardless. Anyone could argue against the position I've taken, and I'm fine with that. But most of the arguments will boil down to "Oh, come on! They're not affecting you!" and to say such a thing would be to misunderstand what I am saying. I am less concerned with the consequences of the action, and more concerned with the action itself. And that action is, by definition, wrong. That, and most of the time it does affect other players. Even a hacker who NPCs his drops has to buy equips sometime, lest he look suspicious to others. After all, a level 120 character would look odd wearing beginner clothes. The sheer amount of cash one can get from slaughtering thousands of monsters effortlessly is simply too much to describe; in that context, the hacker would be less inclined to find a good deal. It wouldn't matter, because he has seemingly infinite income. So he would buy the equip wherever he saw it first, and when multiple hackers do this, especially in the case of a specific equip, it raises the price of that equip. In that sense, it affects regular players who want that same equip, but do not have an unlimited income funded by third party tools. edit: Seems I've misjudged the community. I've never seen people support the third option this much. ._.' [/quote] Heh, so you think. Hackers don't always come out ahead in money.

It's a game, i could care less how anyone else plays it. Ok, so they're pulling monsters to them and killing them in one spot. So what, everyone has choices to make and everyone is entitled to play the way they want, yes, they are breaking the rules, but i'd rather let nexon do their job rather than making it any easier for them. If they actually acted like they cared what went on then maybe i'd feel differently. But no. Whenever i see them, i say "Oh, hacker" -cc- Plus i dont even think they look at the reports very often

[/quote] I picked the third option when it had zero votes, and in the past it's been challenged by a lot of people. The fourth option doesn't even take much of a stand. It's too wishy-washy.

And you seriously think Nexon looks into these reports? They can't even communicate properly with their customers through their tickets...

[quote] thisisbranny : Are you like, RETARDED? I'm pretty sure most of them are guys advertising meso selling sites [/quote] WHy would someone lie on their opinion about hackers? You look dumb even suggesting that. Secondly, don't meso advertisers piss you off? Ill add one more thing, there are still LOTS of names on that list that are obviously not advertising but meso site hackers themselves (vaccing) and normal hackers. You do realize that there isn't going to be that many hackers in maple? While there are lots of them there isn't 6000 most likely.
