This seems like one of those news reports where they spend 20 mins talking on national news about how shitty security is at nuclear plants or something. SO maybe like 5 people with ill intentions knew about this before the news report but after it like 1000's knew, so you essentially took something that was kind of bad and made it a million times worse instead of better.

Still though, the current servers economies were already a joke. Level 20 items selling for 50k each? Yeah, that encourges new players to want to go do stuff. The only chance new players in 2.0 will have, even well before this atomos thing, was to start on one of the brand new servers they are creating for ps3 players. The box should come with a damn warning about the existing servers economy heh.
