An easy way to spot this if true(which tinfoil hat or not, it can be done and people wanting to make a profit will resort to anything). check the red server vs blue server. Red has considerably less population, high ticket items like aon, tstaff, and others are more well known then im guessing the 1000+ blue players. If something like this is happening on blue, Someone is surely trying to cash in on red. If it isn't being done already, Just peak around red for things out of place. The minute someone new has a AoN, tstaff, anything uniquely rare the entire server knows within hours.
@ Lady Taa
Exactly, Even if someone bought a duped item like an AoN more then likely they would not care. Diablo II was a good example of this, When the major dupe/item creation exploits hit in the many various waves. People had no issue legitimately buying them with game currency or real money off websites. It became a part of the game, But DII was on a much more massive scale. It will be much easier to simply remove these items if they are in game once tracked down. For those who did buy a high ticket item recently for a good deal or from a unsure source I would probably be re-thinking that decision and hoping you aren't a tinfoil hatter
