Why do I feel like I'm the only one that got completely screwed over here?

Everyone who duped got to make tens of thousands selling the gil. With zero consequences. yeah their character got banned, big deal, they hid 1b on another account and can have everything back in 20 minutes.

Everyone with a shield got to, and still gets to buy millions of duped medals "on sale" and sell su5 gear. With zero consequences.

Everyone without a shield gets to buy all that su5 gear "on sale". With zero consequences.

And here I am just holding a turd. I took zero advantage of this dupe, and my reward? Watching every single other player benefit. That's fair.
