Not removing these items while the entire staff was aware of them before patching is the problem though. Sloppy and unappreciated by everyone outside of selfish interests within your guild.

I have told you this twice. It is quite difficult to ensure absolutely every instance of a particular item is gone if it doesn't exist in an exposed table. I suggested you look at every possible way an item could be possessed by a character.. whether it be on them, their cursor, their bank, their corpse, within their blob.. etc. I wanted to remove all of these a long.. long time ago. Just like blue diamonds and anything else we've had trouble with.

It is not that simple. What I did NOT want to happen was to remove some pieces of it, and have others remain. That would be truly unfair. So, while searching for alternative solutions or for a code solution for 100% removals, server was patched, and now its a deal with it scenario. You should take a look at the db and code before you call it sloppy. Hate on it as much as you'd like, but it's not for lack of trying.
