So many players banned

Topic by: Stephen

MapleStory's twitter account, @MapleWorld is full of ban counts these days. Within only a couple of days, the twitter account claims to have banned hundreds of people. Mostly they are hackers and gold farmers.

Good job Nexon, hackers are banned and gold farmers are getting hit head on. However, there shouldn't be so much manpower wasted on simply going around to ban people.

Instead, one suggestion is to completely legalize meso selling in the cash shop and advertise it as a legitimate way to purchase mesos. Such would effectively ruin the sales of the gold farmers and cause them to either sell at a lower price or shut down. There would be less of an incentive as there is a legal alternative.

On the other hand, why not introduce an ignore function? This would shut down the spammers in the free market more easily than to wait for a GM to come and ban the person. Just type in the chat box, /ignore [name] and you'd never see their chats again.

Simple suggestions yet so powerful. Comments? What is your opinion? Feel free to post it! Remember, guests can post.
