To protect the integrity of the server, I like the idea of shutting off player trades until this is sorted out. This amount of duping (if that is really what is going on) is creating a long term economical mess. It may also get legitimate players banned or suspended for purchasing duped items.

The classic solution would have been "server down" statuses on our server select screen and a rollback, once it was determined what was occurring. I'm not saying we need something as drastic as that, but something should be done. The longer it goes on for, the more elaborate this web of duping/trading is going to become and there is bound to be shit that is missed in the thousands of legitimate trades occurring.

this wouldnt solve anything
