willowwill:These things are not mods they are HACKS. It seems like a huge amount of the Mabi forum goes can't get the concepts of modding and hacking through their heads.
A huge amount of Mabi people are children/teens that don't get punished for being brats.That said, nobody cares until it starts affecting their enjoyment of the game.
As of G7, the teleport mod that gives essentially unlimited friend caps by modifying the game client, is not only a glitch, but is also the equivilent of theft. Nexon suspends accounts that fraudulently charge paypal for nx, so these people just better hope that nexon doesn't charge them nx for all the friend caps they've used that they didn't really have. It's easily patched out on the server side (just check that the item exists before teleporting.)
One such hack enables 20 cheats in addtion to the font hack. That same mod changes the client in a way that doesn't "hack" the game client at all, but instead rewrites the game code in RAM itself. Thus it's undetectable by nexon even by patching the the game. There isn't a way for nexon to break that hack short of hash checking the physical files, but there are ways around that too. If they want to completely break the hack with every update, they have to do actually change what data is sent to the game client to begin with.
Range mods and targeting mods are client sided and that will unlikely ever be fixed, but Nexon could do more. Example, guild battle with hacked range (this is actually quite obvious, but I won't point fingers) and targeting (how is it that I can't target you while invulnerable, yet you and your pets can target me? hmm) It's also the same with the arena. If they wanted to "fix" these, they need to actually check that everyone that enters the guild battle and arenas has the same data (which would incur loading time) and nerf skills that don't match, or prevent them from entering altogether. Again, the extended zoom here is a cheat as well.
The GM event was a good example of cheats that ruin everyones fun. Look who won on Alexina, spot the mod users.
