Well i am pretty sure, actually 90% positive that there will be hacks after the patch. the only thing im concerned about is that because the VGM team is retiring, the GMs are gonna be more active with the game. So if that happens, even if we can hack and do what we want, with the GMs more active in the game then we are screwed.
But i guess all we can do is wait and see what is to come. On my part, im just farm vcs and do cruns til the patch
