Kinda surprised at the amount of people that got banned (or abused the exploit, rather).
I wasn't really on Mabi to abuse it, but I can say with 100% certainty I wouldn't have anyways.
Not trying to be "holier than thou", Just given my general experience with Nationers I wouldn't expect it.
It all comes down to whether or not its "worth it" to the person that can abuse said event. If its too much trouble to actually abuse most people will back off. If a ton of people are doing it then people will join in thinking that nothing bad will happen if so many people are abusing it. Not to mention it also comes down to, is Nexon vindictive enough to actually enforce any form of punishment on a massive amount of players at once, which normally ends up being a big NO since Nexon tends to fall short of their threats and actions 99% of the time. Consequences and effort are the biggest deterrents for people abusing things like this, and there were very little actual consequences and effort required to do so meaning the deterrents were virtually non-existent.
