Actually, depending on the license agreement, modifying the game's files in this way is most likely illegal. There was this exact same issue when the FlyFF Resource Manager was released; even though the modifications were entirely client-side and had no consequences for others, altering the game files was illegal so a patch disabled the ability to skip the patcher, which replaced modified files.

the patch made doesn't allow for editted resource files. there was a way to use the resource manager to allow buff stacking. somebody then editted the files and gave them out to all the little noobs thus causing a problem. unlike before with termination etc. they actually had to fix something instead of just throwing anotehr gg patch on and i can still skip the patcher o_O.
