RMT and the responsibility.

This list is INSANE. @$.002/plat, I estimate this to be worth about $150, 000.

You make two assumptions here.

#1 - There are enough willing buyers to liquidate his inventory.

#2 - That if he decided to "dump" his inventory on the market, the $0.002/plat rate would not be diluted due to the massive inflation that would occur.

Why don't they flag all real drops and delete everything else off the server?

(someone hinted that a lot of his stuff hasn't actually dropped).

Because assuming not everyone that has good gear RMT'd it that would screw over large amounts of innocent players and do nothing to the guy who duped them in the first place?

Well if you remove them (maybe reoccuring) then it does 3 things:

1) It removes his ability to "create items" (assuming that's what's happening)
2) Regardless of any pain caused to innocent players it would make people less likely to deal with shady looking merchants.
3) Number 2 causes issues for RMTers unloading gear
4) We can for 100% certain track if any guilds are involved.

Fuck you, too.

The retroactive checks for duped gear poofing on innocent players was a reality in Diablo 2. When the rust checks were done and on multiple characters of mine being completely naked from pretty much everything being duped lol.

That made me quit to be honest with you.

It worked tho, no longer were SoJs traded but instead the rune system was adapted and truly unique legendary items were non-existant.

If I was in charge after a dupe like that was discovered and the only solution was 90% of the item economy being poofed, it would just be time for a reset...

Id wager a good portion of the player base would be ok with a wipe but there would still be a good chunk of players that would just say fuck it and never play again.

Like I said a week ago, you can't just lose hundreds of thousands of plat and jump back on the horse and do it all over again.

A wipe destroyed vztz.

From my experiences on live, every item had a unique ID attached to it, regardless if you had 2 of the same items. Being this is an emulated server this mechanic might not be in place and there are no checks for multiples of the same Id. Possibly every item just has 1 ID attached to it regardless.

It made duping items almost impossible and the only true way to ever dupe on live was using platinum since it didn't have a unique ID for every platinum piece [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I haven't even tried due to not giving a shit or wanting to get banned if the known dupes from live work here. More than likely they have been fixed.

If this server does NOT attach a unique ID to every item, I would hope they consider adapting this if at all possible, since it might be a complete overhaul of the database, which might not even be worth the hassle.
