How's the current hacking/duping situation?

The economy doesn't appear to be run by dupers anymore, from what I can tell, but there are still a number of items that have had their prices run into the ground because of botting. That said, the recent weeks have seemed much better as far as the botting situation goes (no more Evans in every map of Kents and in the ToT), but bots are still present in a number of places. Still, it's nice not having channels crashing all over the place as people try duping their items, and with most of the commonly duped scrolls being untradeable now, the most godly items have had their prices jump up exponentially (to something resembling what they should be).

I guess you could say the hacking situation is much better, though it still has room for improvement. There are still botters on about every channel where monsters with valuable items drop (Master Death Teddies, for example), and some of the better training locations have botters trying to sell party leech experience (Aliens). So, they still show up and can be very obnoxious, which is very unsettling for a good portion of the community; then again, I couldn't imagine trying to pass any mastery books without botters farming MMBs all over the place so that their prices can stay at a reasonably low range.
