This isn't going in
badmaplestory for a reason, and if the mods have a problem with that, I'm sorry, but if I post it there, I won't get nearly the response I would from here. I want to hear what people think.
Is it just me, or are the hackers becoming more and more brazen, because they KNOW nothing will happen to them? Despite the mass banning on Khaini the other day (which I heard from a few people might have just been a couple of guilds hacking Zakum, but I can't say for sure) I ran into four or five hackers today who were vaccing out in the open, and blatantly flaunted the fact that nothing would ever happen to them.
"Everyone on Khaini hacks, except (explitive) noobs like you" I was told.
Now, I've been playing GMS since they opened it to the public. My boyfriend has been playing since Beta opened. And it's only been in the last couple of months that I've really, really noticed the hacker population get out of control.
I've probably put close to $300, between my boyfriend and myself, into the Cash Shop since it opened. I have friends who have maxed their monthly limits more than once to buy shop permits, pets, clothes, megaphones, reset scrolls, etc. I love this game--it's how my boyfriend and I spend quality time together when we're half a country apart. But it frustrates me to the point of posting this here, in the hopes that someone with some influence will read this.
Please, for the love of everything that is good and right, fix this hacker problem. GameGuard is doing nothing. It's a joke. Hacking is making this game a miserable experiance for everyone I know. And yet there seems to be nothing that we, as users, can do, which is just as frustrating. Reporting doesn't work. Megaphones rarely work. I see the same hackers over and over again, and never does anything seem to be done.
I don't want to quit playing Maple. Maple is my one indulgence. It's supposed to be my fun time, and yet, I find myself more and more reluctant to play, because it seems like everywhere I go, I find hackers.
Please, please, please, someone tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'm not the only one who's reached the very limits of their patience. Talk to me, tell me I'm not the only one, because I really feel like the entire population of Maple just doesn't care anymore.
