  Then again, maybe not.... If I were him, I'd make suggestions to patch up these exploits and gain favor with Nexon/Devcat, even going as far as giving them a patch code if they're willing to listen. Following the footsteps of other communities giving positive thanks to community members that help is always a good idea.

  
  
  He did. Then continued to use pake while being friendsies with Sabs/Cic, and then got found out after blatantly using Nails>naos, probably reported during MA spam(NaoNow makes it extremely evident something is up). Ain't a mystery when yer told to not break the rules of agreement and you do repeatedly that you get your ban reinstated in full with extra fries.
  
  Also my opinion of the forum moderators is currently less than stellar, and mildly confusing. Additionally as much as I'd like to curse Sabina's name + Company and wish whatever misfortune upon them and their next of kin, there's no point firstly and for the most part its considered bad etiquette to shoot the messenger. As far as I can see nexon NA is garbage because KR wills it. And it could be a lot worse. Nexon EU worse, where instead of skeleton staff, it was a ghost staff.
  
  That being said who's hyped for a disappointing event tomorrow to come with the potentially broken mods and Schutzstaffel tier enforcement?

  Speaking of Sabina... I thought this would be relevant

  I'm not for nor against Sabina, I could give less fuck about her. I just thought it was funny.

  
  
  How do people end up in voice chat with GMs?

  I would assume epic quantities of ass-kissing are involved.

  That voice chat was for a promotional stream they did in collaboration with a gaming news site called Massively.
  
  (Does Massively still exist though? All I can find is messages of it having shut down)
• Roodles wrote on 2016-05-11 22:47
  I would also assume PR falls under Sabina's CM umbrella, as well.
  
  Voice chat may be a bit extra, but if a channel such as MMOGrinder contacted Nexon as part of a game review, it would behoove them to at least do a little bit of grandstanding.

  If he did something illegal that was against the TOS while trying to gain favor, then he definitely derped up. I could see why Nexon/Devcat was angry with him.
  
  And I'm not quite in the loop in with mods and stuff like that (cuz I think they're more trouble than it's worth), what exactly is "pake" or "Nails>naos"? If you're uncomfortable explaining it here, feel free to pm me.

  Ha, no wonder NexonEU fell flat on its face. I just hoped they learned their mistake from that experience...:point:
  
  :punch: Wait, then what's up with the half-acid attitude we're getting from NexonNA?
  
  :gloom: Oh...they couldn't care less if you're innocent and got banned just for using mods just trying to make the game play better on so-called "crappy computers".
  
  Well, uh, nevermind then. :fail:

  EU failed at Mabinogi, but by now they're more in KRs Favor than NA in regards of Vindictus as far as i can tell, at least i see a lot more communication happening between EU-Vindictus and NA-Vindictus.
  
  
  Other than that, Either their Anti-Mod Software mistook what the "Mod" stands for and banned all Moderators instead, they didn't actually implement anything or it just plain doesn't work.
  
  At least it doesn't appear that Abyss or Custom Packages are broken.

  So it would seem that in the end, nothing changed?

  Except their public image collapsing into itself and creating a PR black hole that sucks in any shreds of dignity that may have been left around them.

  Well maybe they detect weird Mods that change items and such.

  Zooming and the comma in Gold Number is still working, so do my custom packages XD

  But I really don't use those.
  Maybe something went wrong with the updating?

  Got it, I just re-downloaded all the dll files, and now it works.

  Dear Milletians,
  
  As part of our ongoing efforts to combat cheating, we have taken new measures to prevent the execution of bots, cheat engines, and other exploit software. Please note that certain 3rd party client modifications may also be affected. This is a result of our zero-tolerance policy regarding access to critical regions of the game's code where cheating may occur.
  
  Unfortunately, we are unable to ensure the functionality of these modifications while maintaining the game's security. Affected users will see an error message upon attempting to log in. To resolve the issue, uninstall any mods that may be triggering the security software and launch the game again.
  

  
  
  
  Does Nexon not have a PR team? It's so easy to have written it in a similar manner to this to avoid the whole backlash.

  I'm pretty sure they only blocked Data mods; everything else should be fine. I'm not 100% sure though.
