In Maplestory, go to your inventory and click the button to generate mesos. The set default is 100 million mesos. Once clicked, close your item inventory and re-open it.
So I was farming at clams leveling a new character and saw an elite boss spawned at the far map. I went to get the easy box and noticed there was a blaze wizard there hitting 9 lines on their orbital flame and full map attacking with an insane amount of double jumps. Naturally I reported the guy, let him know he was reported out of spite by saying 'Reported' and moving on. Later I got a message from them and it turned into a discussion about why they hacked and asking why bother reporting on basically a one player server. The common arguments all came out:.

I work so I dont have the time. Focus on yourself and not others. All I am doing is skipping the time investment, theres nothing wrong with that These reasons pissed me off and I ended the talk saying they weren't getting it. Sadly, if you dont have the time to do kickboxing, you dont go to a kickboxing class. Its like they dont realise that dominating dojo times and overcrowding maps for obscene amounts of time with afk farm gods makes it hard to act like this is a single player game. The big thing though, I dont want it to be a single player game either. This game never was really a single player game.
There has always been some level of competition even if its only amongst peers. Sometimes it goes beyond that to the best geared or highest damage dealing classes and this is easily dominated by the hacking community if they so choose it. To be completely honest, I wouldn't be so pissed off if I never saw these people and they could have their own separate shitty rankings for things. If I never saw you exist on the leader boards or dojo boards or in any map I may frequent, I wouldn't give any damns. Sadly its just so blatant and I am so glad nexon is cracking down on suspicious accounts. I just hit 250 and let me tell you that hackers are an absolute scourge of the earth when you're pushing for level cap. From level 230 to 250, you are limited to 9 maps and 20 channels of each map.
In my opinion, 3 of the 9 maps perform better than the others, that being all 3 Chu Chu maps. And of those 3, Hidden Skywhale out shines the other given the right set-up. There was one day where there were absolutely no one else training there.
Basically had 100% burning throughout all 20 channels. The next few days, it gets infested by hackers, bringing all the channels' burning field down to 50% or below. I'm not even joking, me and my friend went on a crusade to hunt them down. There were some idiot who didn't know about offline mode so we manage to report them normally.
For ones who CC too fast, we just screenshotted them and brought them up to live support. Either way, it pulled from our time from our daily quota. On top of all of that, its cheating no matter what. You cheat in school, you get expelled and that record sticks with you. I've heard stories among my high school peers how a student essentially cheated her way in school and got accepted in UCLA while there were several other students who worked their ass off to get there.
Sure, MapleStory is a game, but doesn't mean there aren't people who care about their rank. I had 2 hackers in front of me take the #1 and #2 position for Reboot Phantoms.
It stayed like that for months until today. Finally, the point of Reboot is to grind and feel that you've accomplished something. We grinded to 200, deck out our pensailes gear, learned mechanics for CRA and daily hellux, grinded as much as possible before V patch, finish those content, and push for 250 with several breaks in between.
Your rewards is bragging rights because you know there are people who gave up or moved on. If you hacked your way to 250, what's the point? TLDR; Hackers steal burning maps, are essentially cheaters (duh), and offered no satisfaction (IMHO). Yup OP, this is exactly what made quitting maple easy for me.
I played on non-reboot server and it was hella annoying how many people hacked. They pull that 'im too busy with school/work' or 'everyone does it' card, but forreal it's lame how it negatively impacts the experience for legit players. Hackers can claim theyre not hurting anyone, but in reality they hurt the legit player-base's morale(reason for playing) and ruin the game's integrity. They're pretty much saying 'fuck the work other people put into their hobby, i'll reap greater rewards at a faster pace, get more recognition, and act like im legit to those that don't know i'm a big fat cheat' It sucks that this game keeps losing popularity, but we can see many reasons why the population has slowly dwindled. I miss the game, but this really makes it quite easy not to come back haha. Thnks OP. I feel that part of the problem stems from nexon/maple itself.
For example making wz edits to make it so that some items don't drop for you when you're farming on reboot. It's so laggy when dealing with it especially when there's event items it can be horrendous. A friend of mine stopped farming completely when we had the easter event. Then someone else hacks and removes the drops for themselves and keeps on going while others just put up with it or stop. It's not an excuse to hack, but you can see why people get annoyed at the game. Seriously fuck hackers and fuck Nexon. Nexon is enabling them by taking such a soft stance on hacking and being lazy fucks and not taking this epidemic seriously.
I've reported countless 'legit' players who have done the infinite Pianus spawn hack on their mules and they're still untouched. How fucking hard is it to get tipped off on someone getting to level 200 in a matter of an hour or two from 140 and where they got the majority or all of that exp, hint it's 'The Cave of Pianus'. I've lost so much motivation trying to level my union mules when these fucks can just knock them off within a few hours by hacking with no consequences. I'll be honest on this topic, I have hacked on a new account before just to see the game in a different angle. It was an interesting experience as you just watch the game play itself and probably move the character once in a while. However, when I was hacking, I never went to popular training spots because of how much an @sshole it is to do that. You are a fken hacker with FMA and yet you still pick a popular map.
Any map works just because you don't care about mob density but mob count. Also the reasons he gives for hacking.
I would agree with them as Airbend has mentioned 'maplestory has been set up in a way that pushes people towards hacking, especially in Reboot.' Which really sucks because if the bosses didn't have ridicously high HP for no apparent reason, this game would not have come down to grinding this much that people have to resort to these measures. But for reason 2, 'Focus on yourself and not others'. This is not a fken reason. It is just a selfish statement. Also this is a social game where interactions makes this game entertaining (my opinion, don't judge). Yeah, it's a lame excuse.
I blame Nexon for not preventing it more than I blame the hackers for actually doing it though. There will always be hackers. There will always be people looking to get the upper hand, or make money, or break the game just for fun. When you don't take action against those people, their numbers only increase. Furthermore, maplestory has been set up in a way that pushes people towards hacking, especially in Reboot. The amount of grinding you need to do to get to endgame is absurd.
100 billion's worth of meso farming, plus all of the content (gollux, commerci, arcane river, etc.) and levelling on top of that. I don't sympathize with hackers at all, it's totally unfair that we have to deal with them on such a regular basis. But only Nexon can resolve this issue. Trying to convince individual hackers will get you absolutely nowhere. The problem with that analogy is that for Dark Souls and many single player games, the journey itself is actually fun and it's what people buy and play the game for.
Maplestory (and most MMOs for that matter) is all about reaching the end game before you really get to enjoy the good stuff. The journey there however is just monotonous farming/grinding 90% of the time once you've gotten past the initial honeymoon phase with the game. I'm not endorsing hacking, it undermines the time and effort other players put into the game, but you're comparing two different things.
