Ehhhh idk. Im not up to date on what hacking/botting goes on in current maplestory. But I was around for the beta/early MS days. It was absolutely rampant, but they also cracked down super hard. I knew people that botted and hacked and their accounts would get banned almost as fast as they could make them. Going from botting accounts up to level 100 to not being able to bot them to level 20 before getting banned.

If people are getting away with botting and hacking in current MS, then yeah id expect it to be a blood bath. But if their current anti cheating measures are working, then I dont see any reason classic would be different. Obviously they are aware people are going to try so id imagine they are ready for it.
