Playing your chars during item recovery

Hello, my account was recently compromised and all my gold, emblems, and most of my items were gone (surprisingly all the gear I had equipped was still there) I have already secured the account and submitted a ticket to recover my missing items/gold. My question is, is it okay to play the affected characters (i.e. I have gear, just no money/emblems/offspec gear) during the recovery process or will this cause problems/interfere with the process? Or would it be better to leave the characters as is until the restoration is completed?

Thank you
