Display Morea deletion of server won't solve anything.
Whenever a new system gets introduced to the game, bugs exist and there will be those who abuse them to their own advantage.
We can't just delete our characters everytime someone abuse a bug.
The solution is damage control.
Ban bug abusers. Warn anyone to NOT abuse any bug in future, and to test systems well before release to avoid such mistakes in future.
Now even if few scammers exist in the game and got advantage, who cares? Seriously any MMORPG game has players who got unfair advantage because of the usage of excessive cash in game
So even if you complain now that facing a scammer is tough in pvp, Once you get rid of him, you will find cash spenders. So it never ends anyways. It's never fair!
Damage control is the only solution.
First of all, who the HELL was talking about SCAMMERS? Scammers ain't the problem here lmao
It's not every time someone abuses a bug. This has been a build up of bugs and mistakes by Daneos' initial wipe for over a YEAR. And like I said, the bug has ALREADY BEEN FIXED. It's just the items obtained through the bugs are still here, that is the problem.
It's not one single issue that demands a wipe, its EVERYTHING. It's too complex for Daneos to remove certain items or characters; it's impossible to tell the difference.
And wiping everything won't solve anything? Uh, yes it will. For instance:
- The hugeee, hugeee duplication bug
- People with already upgraded LVL 70 gear
- It will ridicule the progress of the black markets
- It will get rid of all the people who crashed servers for Auras
- It will get rid of ruined economy via bots
- It will actually bring back more players, rather than lose more. OB, unfortunately, is an utter failure; that's just real real.
And that is only a FEW of the issues. There are multiple I can't mention on the forum.
Ban bug abusers, and warn people not to abuse any bug? That isn't going to stop them! There are entire guilds right now who bug, and guilds who have bugged in the past such as TRF. And you know what? They abused third party programmes and are now running around in the game AGAIN despite being banned.
Just look at DevilCeStory for example; this dude has been banned multiple times and is running around on a full CC90 +15 Fighter without any punishment, despite previously buying zeni, botting, getting banned etc.
Also where are we talking about cashers? You say because people cash it is never fair? Daneos is removing the wagu machine, and if we don't wipe cashers can keep their thousands of boxes and dogi balls.
If you wipe - since the wagu machine is gone - F2P have a better chance, and cashers aren't insanely OP because of all their dogi balls, and boxes from the Wagu when it still existed. You want to help F2P? Wipe the game since the wagu machine has been removed and there will be less of a gap.
You say damage control is the solution. The wipe IS damage control. We want new systems in place first, and an Anti-Cheat system first THEN wipe the game. That is damage control for you.
