there was definitely duped plat, I used to get tells from about 3-5 different people at least once a day asking for raid items they could buy.
Im not talking about 1 item some dude that saved up really wanted, I'm talking about a whole list of probably ever dropable that was in game at the time..
one time I got offered 1.2 million for a cloak of flames, and 900k for a damn bloodfire haha.
in retrospect I guess I should've taken the bloodfire offer, Im sure we had extra..
anyone I've personally never had more than 50k plat and it's never affected me, I can't stand EC and the buying and selling scene. I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I am a nerd for playing EQ or any MMO, but to play only to flip items to build a bankroll leads me to believe you are RMT'ing plat, so I pretty much suspect any of the EC trolls of that.
billions might be an overstatement in terms of amount just because I think people say billions without comprehending 10^9 is a very big number, but I wouldn't doubt uthgaard when he says there has been a ton of plat duped on this server. And if the dupe was some kind of exponential gain then yea billions becomes feasible quick.
