A serious post about duping

[Silent]

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

no one is gonna waste time duping on a server with 10% of the active population of blue, and thus 10% of the potential profits.

and also likely 10x more risk of being caught due to the low population

Oh yes, Never mind the fact that red plat is a 1:5 ratio. Everything is more expensive, Rarer etc. I am simply saying if money is being made on blue doing this, There are PLENTY of people on red who would buy just to get ahead in the game. If you think it would be a waste of a time to do this with a ratio like that, You just have no idea of the concept of quick item conversion plat to money if they want to get all items gone asap.

I would also tend to think that the profile of the typical red player lends itself to RMT more than blue...I don't mind this as an insult, just prob the truth that most red players are in a heightened state of wanting to maintain an edge on the competition.
