Do you think KO staff making money from k0xp?

[Deuxvn]

Everyday in cz, since quest items to unlock skill damn expensive, since gbs price still high.
All those mages lvl 60-, and people ask for thousands time, remove the chaos stone with exactly time bosses spawn, people also ask to increase lvl restriction to go cz, peolple also ask for andream and other map. But look like they wanna keep those stuff expensive + k0xp, they spend time on adding PUS item, do some stupid things with the term " only premium users".
Not to mention that all cheater report are result in reply "Please submit ticket". Its like you see your neighbour getting killed and call police, then he tell you to fill a form instead of going get the murder.
It seems the one using k0xps are protected in background.

I don't think they're making money off of them, but hacking just isn't a big enough concern for them to put effort into it. In a perfect world they would hire people to adjust the game's code to disallow hacking in the first place, or get some real anti cheat software (yeah xign sucks). But do you know why they don't? It's not because they don't care, it's because investing in that short of shit wouldn't be cost effective. There are so many hackers in Knight online that if they spend all of that money to get rid of the hackers, the overall amount of users would honestly probably drop rather than increase. Sure there might be more paying customers, but nowhere near enough to compensate for the amount of money they just spent getting rid of 1/4 of their players in the first place.

They understand that this is a game where new players are basically non-existant. The only ones who still play are the ones who were here when the game was at its prime. This means that Knight online's lifespan is on a clock and once the old players stop playing, this game will die. They know and understand this, and realize that investing all of that money into removing cheaters is simply not worth the money it takes to do so.

Just my opinion but the way ^^ please don't delete my post.

Oh and to address your picture, I just think people follow around the hacking mages because they offer some sort of protection. Or it's their friends hacking, who knows.

Bynogame is in their resellers list, after all.

They used to sell ingame items for many years.

If you should blame anyone its the idiots playing and paying for this game still lol

No, a completely different company publishes ko now, while NTT isn't that much better than the other companies, they also havent injected items ( that we know of) unlike the other companies.

K2 company was the owner of HeavenFire bot.

[Josh]

Doubt it. It cost little and most of the time was free; any profits from HeavenFire would pale in comparison to profits from their KC or just injected items - both which would increase if cheaters weren't around.

Who's to say they aren't paying people to farm and sell gold on gold selling websites.

No matter hacker or baba or legit...
NTT earns enough money at current circumstances and if they would invest into removing hackers, they would lose a lot of money since those hackers actually buy from NTT and sell to babas(Most hackers do buy premium, they get jailed and buy stuff etc... Hackers are customers).
Also bear in mind KO players are like this:
- Jobless turkish who buys koxp and earns more than average wage by hacking and selling to babas
- Rich turkish who buys everything and makes drama all the time about everyone else
- minority.

Now the jobless turkish is the most dangerous user for NTT right there... But the fact is that the jobless turkish is not 1 guy but he is in fact half of the server population.
Now if NTTGame would start a war with them, it would cost really a lot to the company that they would need to pay a lot of money on advance,
without even knowing if they are stronger than those jobless hackers. Since it's so easy to api hook knight online (just like those wall hacks in CS:GO).
Any 15 years old turkish kid is nowadays learning programming in visual basic and copy pasting some source codes and replacing pointers and offsets with actual ones and proudly makes 8 characters with names "Fuck you GM, BanMeAgain, IwillComeBack, 5minsAndIamBack" lol...
It really makes a sense to not invest so huge money into a war against those people but just ban them as much as possible while milking the babas and legits since the money you will invest is gone and you are not guaranteed that you will really clean those hackers (well for sure for 1 week you will clean them and next? They will come again with a new koxp and NTT will just lose half the money he has made by milking legits and babas)

All in all, babas and legits are main clients of NTT and they feed those hackers from their own pockets, thus hackers find theirselves a business in KO, even hackers do buy DC premium, Bronze premium but due to the damage they have given to the game and user loss they cause to NTT Game I cannot say that hackers are what NTTGame is happy about as they are losing their clients. But it's all part of the plan... Have you ever thought why premium prices are so expensive, while you buy this premium from a company that is located in Turkey, where minimum wage is $3/hour, how come premium can cost $40?
It's because steamKO is a cashcow. The hype was planned. PUS was prepared, bugs were waste of time, they are left to be fixed later... And the hype is real, they will make money as long as possible and eventually when the hype is over they are ready to go for a vacation in Dubai if not they build a house there Yet bear in mind that nobody is forcing you to play it, thus it's really pointless to brag about those facts. Simply by playing you agree with that.

If you refer to NTT employees, then anything is possible.
If you think of NTT as a company, they dont need koxp to make money out of gold bar selling. They already have contracts with Byno and other resellers in order to get % of profits or fixed sums ahead. Byno has accounts injected with coins all the time so they can supply any amount. They had the accounts prepared from the beginning, they set the price for gbs from the beginning. Nothing is random there.
What they are trying to do now is control cheating, not stop it. You will see more and more actions that restrict stuff in order to screw up the standard cheating scenarios.

Out of curiosity, does anybody know if Bynogame is supported by NTT?

If you're wondering why Degano doesn't post here as much in the topics where he knows he'll get shit on is because he's still looking for the delete topic/post button.

[Kallop]

yes they are

Knight Online ? Free to Play 3D MMORPG Game

Bynogame sells items and GBs for USD, which kind of tells us all we have to know. K0xpers are providing Bynogame with the GBs and items to sell and if NTT supports that, it's most likely because they make money out of it as well. In which case it wouldn't make much sense getting rid of the k0xpers farming money in bowl.
