Hello! I am better known as Aiorol in Korean Server, but in NA East server I go by name AsunaYuuki. (yeah I'm a sao fan)
I did not realize till now since I was trying to post up some of my templates that I already created one by one, and I found out that someone was somehow ( I NEVER GAVE IT) to anyone and he made over 200k merits over the market store.
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW and the fact that they are a best seller in whole NA East server is not acceptable.
This is one example but he ripped off EVERY SINGLE THING he sold
yes, they are exactly the same.

This is a post made before the sale in Korean Server.
I also see millions of artwork that is being ripped off from other people and being sold, and see people making a profit off them, and I reported hundreds of them and see them not being taken off when they are being sold like hot cakes.
I really hope nexon takes this issues seriously since whenever I have time(Im around 5k gear score and in end game content stage) I am making new music or making clothes. Please no
we are too busy dealing with too much stuff
> if you have a successful game and need more people, get more people to monitor them.
Also some people are posting hentai posters in tria and places which never gets taken down. Please take care of these issues... Thanks!

They even made a post here on forum just hours ago asking about the Top Designer title/badge lol
I personally find this stupid. When it comes to someone stealing their work, names should, in my honest opinion, be made public, it should be known, it shouldn't be silenced.
Besides, the person in question, like I stated above, most likely made a thread themselves.
I'm not 100% sure its the person in question but, a bit too much of a coincidence as I do not think all that many people have got over 200k from sales.

The thread I'm referring to.
Normally, I'd be inclined to agree.
But this offender is making merets through art theft, peddling literally stolen wares to unsuspecting players. Not just any art theft, but this is spanning across multiple versions of Maplestory 2. Aside from botting and hacking, this is also the kind of stuff that Nexon needs to come down hard on. Make an example of this fool.
At the very least, the more people know about this, the more people will be aware of the real artists and buy it from them instead.
Ahh, people love to just ruin everything.
I wonder if they should just outright ban people for stealing other peoples' designs.
They KNOW what they're doing and Nexon has already warned us about it..
no. permaban them. ip ban them.
send a message that stealing other peoples work isn't going to fly.
making it so they cant sell again doesn't do anything about the 200k merets they've made off with in this case, or etc. in any other.
welcome to thread. There are a lot of people trying their best to bring attention to the issue that Nexon is ignoring.
From what I've been seeing, I have my doubts that it will.
But let's look at this for a second, no matter what economy this happens on, let it be on Maple Story, Steam or really any other platform where players can sell their content, theft has happened. Not that we should ever accept this, and as much effort as possible can be made should be put into stopping it, but it's a really tough system to tackle.
I don't think stealing content warrants a perm ban as much of a despised thing it is among the community, but it definitely is worth a ban from the UGC aspect of the game.
Or perhaps what could also work if we look back to the idea of making a separate team for it, is that we'll take some of the top UGC creators, or perhaps people from the forums, create a voluntary team with the power to temporarily remove content from the UGC store and have a more direct line with the staff so they can be made aware and can further review it and ban if needed be.
The only way they can monitor this kinda stuff is to pay people to sit in HQ 24/7 and browse UGC . And no company is going to do that, heck they cant even pay to have security guards in some shopping malls on Sundays.
Hence why perhaps a new voluntary force can be created to do just that, monitor the UGC shop and have them report directly to staff and temporarily take down questionable items and ones that get reported as stolen. This off loads the need for In-game mods to monitor the shop and they'd only have to review that what they receive and then decide a course of action on that.
It's clear that people want this problem to stop, why not have them be actively part of that process?
and how do you know you should have made 200k? which i highly doubt u would. and also that person might have been the first one to make them? do u have any proof that u made it actually? or are you just a troll?
also korean servers and NA has no relation. if u have it on one server that doesnt matter. its not on NA or Korean server. if either is made for one. but again. if u can't prove its you who made it. then your in bigger trouble.
also i am not defending people who do Rip off others. but it's hard to find out who actually made it. and also lets be honest you're stealing original conceptions from Nier.
Btw i do stuff on request,let me know if you want something specific to see in the shop.
I don't see how there are legal issues regarding this? Neither how volunteers will be a problem? It takes but a mere look at the application forms to see that there are people willing and interested in improving this community, and I think the people complaining the most about this UGC problem wouldn't mind helping out on it, rewards given to those people that are willing to help is even more incentive, not that it should be just about that.
Currently people want change regarding UGC, so why not have people that are really passionate about UGC help on that?
That possibility is on everything, even regarding getting banned from video games, mistakes happen. Of course not everyone should be able to join the team, and seeing who would be fit for it would be at the discretion of the staff.
If you want to volunteer , you can always hit that report button on UGC you believe to be stolen or against any form of ToS. Is that any different from this "volunteer" position you're talking about?
