They (the hackers) will hack mages, craploads of mages and bishops to extremely high levels! They'll input the new MP hack and the no delay hack then down HT in a few minutes!! What happens next?
Cool down is server side, so is mp usage for the most part.
Neither would help them too much anyhow.
They can godmode and prevent the bosses from using skills or attacking, or even causing contact damage, but killing the boss is their current gap.
It takes them ages, even while cheating and using no-delay hacks to widdle away the billions of HP he has. Even with infinite MP 99999 damage still takes nearly 5000 hits to kill a mob with 500m hp, and that's just the real head.
They'd really need a way to de-boss him so they can use poison or similar to make him die quicker, but that's server side too.
We should be grateful for the precautions Nexon does have, it could certainly be worse considering how badly outnumbered their staff is by the rest of the population.
Considering they're a franchise and have to keep compatibility with other versions to remain upgradeable they're in a somewhat ugly position. Entirely self inflicted, but ugly.
