I don't understand that. What is /qing? How does a player NOT get saved when they "log out"? How do other mmorpgs prevent this from happening? Is this how people, in general, dupe?

You said they removed coins from dropping, but players could still drop items. So what stops a player from dropping an item, and /qing out before the gave saved them and logging back in with two duplicates of the item? That's the same exact behavior, just not with coins. Are players doing that now, as we speak?

A looong time ago, the game "saved" your character every I think 30 seconds. So people would drop coin, and /quit out before the game auto saved, when they came back, they still had their old coin count, plus the world had saved the coin on the ground. When that exploit was discovered they stopped allowing coins to be dropped I think.
