Eh, most players I've talked to outside the game use MQ or have admitted to using it in some way or another, it seems like; if not blatantly to escape dying or to /follow (melees in particular), at least to use a tracking feature.
We definitely have a group of EQ fanatics, and it won't ever be the same again where you'll find newbies and people not looking for the edge over people.
Most people will take whatever edge they can get, regardless of the consequences (which isn't just an EQ issue =p). An edge, for instance (which wasn't hacking), that I remember people taking advantage of was the constant imbalance of classes and those flavors of the month. Mages were ridiculous. Warriors in the beginning were retarded and in some ways still are, I imagine.
And whether you can prove it or not, a lot of fucking people were hacking on VZ/TZ.
