As said by a friend of mine, it's not surprising that hackers have lost interest. If you hack something, there's no real appeal to it because you didn't find it yourself. My characters' weapons include Frozen Shooters, a Meteor Cudgel, a Spread Needle, a Flight Cutter, etc... and I get quite a lot of fun out of these weapons because all of them (with the exception of the spread needle which was a trade) were my finds. There's no sense of pride associated with hacked and duped weapons (since the only good reason for duping is FSOD insurance, IMO). So it's no wonder they got bored of it.
