is it allowed to kill the monsters before the hackers can or if the hackers got misplaced because of a boss to kill the mob.

    It is considered "benefiting from hacking activities," and so is not allowed.

    Does this include when all the mobs are in one place when you CC onto a new map? Like for VJ Dailies ?

    what if you're trying to kill mobs for a quest and the specific map that has those mobs has hackers on every single channel? What are you supposed to do then? Just give up?

    Yea, or risk a ban. The TOS are absolute according to them. Personally I just kill em just like 99.9998% of the people who can't go 1 hour in the game without running into those hacked monsters.

    So true, I barely find legit players when I'm training.

    Actually yes, give up, just like I did, since I couldn't train AT ALL, hackers just came in and ksed me, I changed channel, more hackers, I changed to another ch again, more hackers, I did that over and over, and I just find more and more hackers, so I simply gave up.
