[Cheating]

its nc soft ~ who are we kidding ~ they do not care for cheats / hacks ~ long as money comes in ..... 90% of people don't know ~ person gets reported and get ban ~ then simply they get un ban ~ with name  change ~ many doesn't know this fact ~ old practiced since  time of Lineage 2 / aion / blade and soul ..

[Are we encouraged to cheat by NCsoft?]

they care not,  bns make up 5% of nc soft revenue ~ either they enforce or not still gonna be same amount ~ why would they spend their money and man power if it won't generate any more money . something to think about !
