Except we don't even know if it was the .hfs files that got people banned.
Delete your modded .hfs files for the following situations:
*Double EXP Events
*Double Gold Events
*Double AP Events
*Double Everything Event
*Maintenance
*Anything new that comes up like a new character being released
*Events like that criminal one we just had a while ago
*New Episodes
*Content updates (such as Blood Lord, Titan, Evie Revamp, Reselian's Labyrinth, and Laghodessa)
*Holiday Updates
*Basically anything new that shows up on the Vindictus website.
I don't believe you really have to delete your modded .hfs files, but it still could keep you safe. I will be doing that next time because I don't want to get banned lol.

well, since im using them right now, they sure didnt get me banned
Been botting for almost one week non-stop, still not banned :/
I'm not really going to use hacks at all anymore except for farming for gold, I might bot for a week or so to gain tons of money and then just play legit on Karok for a while... the game is really kinda boring when you can 1 hit everything :x
Watch out, they will ban your main if you gold farm.
It scans all your HFS files before an update btw, thats likely what got many people caught.
These are just some minor precautions, but who knows, maybe they can help you a lot.
My cheating accounts are all still active and cheating, like the ones I used to spawn items, farm ores, and farm bosses with one hit kills and all kinds of cheats. I really think it's just shotgun banning from Nexon's $hitty system.
If you're a cheater, please read "Vindictus Cheater's Guide: The Basics". Play safe, cheat safe!
Nah, it's too much of a coincidence that a lot of people have had their mains banned but hacking alts spared. This was intentional on Nexon's part.
