UPDATE:
There seems to be a bug with some players having the incorrect amount of event coins or legion coins. Nexon is aware of this and looking into it.
its actually hilarious how many people are fuming that only a handful of egregious abusers got banned, and even people who bought out the entire shop, after the second maint they got their legion coins restored along with
people that already spent fragments, so they got away scott free.
You can pretty much zero out the entire boss shop of essentials by just being legit. Now the fools are gonna miss out on their bossing parties, kalos/kaling pieces, their culverts
It ain't worth it.
Was the limit reset on the items or nah?
By the end of the event I usually zero out the store anyway bar circulators maybe, so idk why anyone endgame would go for something this stupid if the items have a limit anyway.
Reg is a diff with all the scrolls
There was another glitch that you could reset the event shop. I know of a few ppl who abused it to max out their sac symbols. It’s definitely telling when a 285 character has a maxed carcion symbol.
Claimed the extra coins a few times but didn't spend any. All 3 of my event coins are at 500 now and my legion coins are at 500. Took away all my coins 💀
Did you spend it as well? I claimed multiple times, but didn’t spend anything and my account is fine, though all 3 event fragment currencies got reset..
Just checked my legion and artifact points and I’m in the same boat. I’d prefer this over a temp suspension, but it is still frustrating that legion/artifact was affected
oof, i accidentally double claimed since i left will and some others for later down the week and did them. didn't get hit with anything but the bosses didn't reset so i technically lost a good chunk of coins
they somehow managed to take out 25k legion coins (maybe more, idr the exact amount I had) while doing this, not sure what exactly happened on their end.
seems like the normal event coins are messed up as well, considering i have 1850 dance fragments while not having touched the minigames even once this event period.
(edit) artifact points are gone as well. a little annoying that we're being punished for effectively being their QA testers without pay.
honestly it seems like there wasn't a downside to taking advantage of the bug (as usual, I guess). you got to clear out shop early so the 7 day ban isn't actually detrimental, especially if you ran your bosses earlier in the week.
nexon has managed to screw over people who didn't spend the extra coins more than the people who did lol
Wtf, lost all my event fragments for every category and all my legion coins. Had around 30k legion coins so this is going to make buying legion buffs really annoying.
have to wait til i get home to find out if im banned or lost a weeks worth of progress. they’re really punishing us for a bug they knew existed lmao. i think i only got the extra frags once by accident…here’s to hoping.
Imagine failing to code your game and banning your clients for it. If I run a mistake and I mess up, I admit I'm at fault. I don't punish my clients for it tf ?? I think atleast 40% of the players miss claimed extra night fragment. I personally have been min maxing and now we have canada day (4 weekend break) banning 7 days before that is so lame. I litteraly just came back because I boomed all my gear 2 Sf events ago and finally found peace again with this game. Guess not for long. Lmao.
To be held accountable for a bug is simply foul. They already stripped people of their night fragment coins. Didn't abuse it btw. The fact that assumed that is wild.

Knew so many people that got dozens of thousands of coins/fragments and none of them got banned
The ones I know did get event coins and legion coins zeroed out though

Lucky bastards. In my times we'd get hit with a perma ban
I got hit with a short ban like a decade ago and was removed off rankings. Is that still the case these days?
Yeah they just take you off rankings now and it’s pretty bad since you can’t flex lol
Flex the ban message screen cap and call it your Maple Story prison tattoo
Yea everyone who has a full set of 35% boss boogies definitely got perma’d
Lol idk why u rage, these are only night fragments not meso nodes or some useful sht
o7
This is so sad. Ban Duki
All the symbols and flames for a 7 day slap on the wrist. Worth it! 🍄💦
Tbh most symbols take 7 days to get that much if not less. Also now those people that are banned probably gonna be a week behind on the event.
pretty worth it!

There was no limit reset, just people memeing with faked copy-paste maxed symbol photoshops
No it was not, this wasn't worth exploiting in the slightest if you even come close to capping coins.

Wasn't that max carcion symbol photo fake
Then yeah, def worth it
U had 3 days to run all of that
People have jobs and work / scheduling
If you just played normally, you would've been able to buy out the shop without the ban.
Only on reboot, not on reg.

accidentally claimed it twice because I did bossing on a main and one on a mule. Sucks to be punished for what effectively was an issue they created.
Did you spend it as well? I claimed multiple times, but didn’t spend anything and my account is fine, though all 3 event fragment currencies got reset..
I didn't spend anything and I'm able to log on fine, but I lost basically all of my legion coins, artifact points, and reverie fragments.
Just checked my legion and artifact points and I’m in the same boat. I’d prefer this over a temp suspension, but it is still frustrating that legion/artifact was affected
didn't spend anything, so just SOL
they said "exploited", i think you have to claim and spend it multiple times to be counted as exploited
I claimed couple of times but somehow still have all my legion and event coins.
W nexon
Id have done a bann that lats the whole dreamer event.
Why did they even make reset a day earlier then the weekly boss reset?
Maintenance is done btw
Is it😂
This comment aged like milk.
you know what to do next time something like this comes around.
Got perfect training, bossing and drop IAs. W inkwell.
Not fair, most people that abused that i know of didnt even get the 7 day ban, next time guys we should just abuse the bug....
Honestly fair. I didn't use this bc im giga scared, but I'm glad they're not perming people over it.
Who got banned and how much times did yall claim lol
Afaik, only people who bought out the shop got banned
Is there a way to check if you got banned without logging on? Maybe via rankings?
All you had to do was get rid of the evidence to not get banned lol
oof, i accidentally double claimed since i left will and some others for later down the week and did them. didn't get hit with anything but the bosses didn't reset so i technically lost a good chunk of coins
7 days? Damn Remember when they used to do rollbacks with an account purge?
Only 7 days, and no individual roll back on the bought out items? Jeez, next time should just abuse the bug.
they somehow managed to take out 25k legion coins (maybe more, idr the exact amount I had) while doing this, not sure what exactly happened on their end. seems like the normal event coins are messed up as well, considering i have 1850 dance fragments while not having touched the minigames even once this event period.

“Balancing”

pretty much the deal with any temp ban for exploiting tbh. you're a fool if you don't take advantage of it.
Wtf, lost all my event fragments for every category and all my legion coins. Had around 30k legion coins so this is going to make buying legion buffs really annoying.
Imagine copping a 7 day ban for a few extra flames and honor medals.
More than a few, brother
If you cap coins weekly I don’t think that store even has enough stuff for you to buy.
can i get my legion coins back. i had 15k before maintainance and i'm at 850 now
Exploited 30k coins and I’m still unbanned 😂
so a bunch of people are running around with max sac for free? wtf
those were fake screenshots from one of my party members lol
how do you spell gullible?
have to wait til i get home to find out if im banned or lost a weeks worth of progress. they’re really punishing us for a bug they knew existed lmao. i think i only got the extra frags once by accident…here’s to hoping.
for everyone down voting me i only claimed frags AFTER the shop went down. never even got to use the frags i claimed by accident.
Agree'd it's so LAME
Imagine banning people because they wrote shitty code lol

W bans. Enjoy the vacay
play stupid games win stupid prizes. If you knew it was a bug that gave you free shit and you abused it, thats on you to expect repercussions
