Why do people keep bringing up wiping like it would ever be a possibility? Will not happen, ever.

I believe new players buy plat. They like being able to buy the items they want in EC. That is part of the "fun".
About time we had a server run casino bot/lottery system to sink some plat.

"Classic" doesn't come into it anymore... shouldn't be able to duck to cancel spells yet etc.

I made a comment about someone getting called out in the EC forums about a Donal's BP, with screen shots. Now he's sending me retarded hate mail. It makes him look fairly guilty. Here's a screen shot of the PM (Not so private now eh?)

This is a witch hunt...not every unguilded low lvl no rep toon that has a high end droppable item is a cheater.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen (and it is prob a good first step to catching real cheaters), but all this publicly accusing people of a bannable offenses without any actual evidence is horrible for the server.

I would guess that if the duping is at the level there is a great chance that many MANY of us probably have items that were either duped or bought with money purchased from dupers in RMT. When all of this is said and done there may be innocent folks who wind up banned having done nothing wrong intentionally if this witch hunt keeps going on.

If we did a roll back, I'd probably quit. Since I've only been playing for 12 day thus far. I have received several donations and I've given tons of plat and gear donated by the community to distribute to new players. So if I lost my progression and currency/items It would be very disheartening.

Isn't there a way to see if items have been duped? Instead of accusing every person with a high value item a duper or having a duped item?

Do items have a unique ID for every item dropped or generated from a looted corpse? Or is every item have the same ID/integer in the code? Seems to me like everyone is being paranoid. I agree that there is a large amount of AoN on the market, what are other items being duped? I don't think its safe to say that every item over 25k is duped.

Maybe it was a bad time to start playing on the server? Does this type of activity happen often? Seems to me it shouldn't be hard but just time consuming to narrow the search down to duped items. Given that these culprits have already probably put several items through circulation on the server and transferred several thousands of currency in items to new accounts.

Is it possible to search all accounts that have recently been created and that have been traded thousands of platinum or high end items of value? I think that would be a good start to bringing light on the culprit, also looking at trade logs if a thing is recorded. You could find friends of the player that obviously knows about it. I would just completely remove all currency they have earned since this situation occurred.

Except doing searches like that are time consuming and the staff is volunteer.

But give me, or any other knowledgeable database users read access to a backup copy of the database and I'm sure we would gladly help find the source of all the duping. I'm not really sure why this isn't an option unless there's records there they don't want us to see.
I agree with this guy. I sit and do stuff similar to this all day at work, would gladly do it if it helped kill the DDOS attacks if they are indeed linked. Unfortunately I joined right as the DDOS attacks begin (no connection, I swear lol). I loved EQ originally and was so happy to see a way to experience it just like it was back when I started 13 years ago. The DDOS just makes it annoying and impossible to enjoy when that's going on. Hopefully this thread is a good first step and the GM's are on the case.
