Which world, currently, is the least overrun by hackers and hacked equipment?

I've not played Maple for about a year and a half, but I've decided I'd like to start up again and explore some of this new content. My main has been in Bera since I began, but my friends in Bera having quit being coupled with the amount of hacking makes me a bit... disconcerted, I s'pose.

Is the whole game absolutely f'ucked, or are some of the worlds not nearly as bad as the others?

There is no escape.

If you consider GM scrolled things "hacked equipment", that is.

So unfortunate. I've been looking around at other free-to-play MMOs, but after I've checked out all of the neat content that Nexon's added over the past year, it's really disappointing. I'd continue playing my NL if I thought, even with merchanting a pomegranate ton, that I'd be able to in any way compete with hackers. Aside from EE-hacked and duped equips, then, are there other issues regarding hackers in the community as there were before? Like DCing at bosses, etc?

DC hacks are for the most part, dead. Incompatibility problems are completely dead.

Why are you worrying about competing? If it's for a slot in a boss run, you don't have to compete so long as the hacker isn't somewhat close friends with the runners.

This is true, I don't know why it even crossed my mind. Are all of the worlds' economies broken?

Depends on who you talk to. Only thing broken is GM scrolls at a slightly lower price point than what they were when available in GT.

I would assume the newest world(s) that don't have MTS yet and can't be transferred into are least affected.
