Dupegate, the aftermath and lack of consequences

[Isola]

lol, again, totally wrong, on all accounts pix.

No one has to assume anything, it's obvious. And no one banned stayed banned, they're all back on clone accounts. or new bought accounts.

Lmao my concern isn't even on those medals.

It's on the items generated and monopolized by crafting with them.
Aka

1. Dupe Medal
2. Turn in for mats
3. Synth SU5, necks, etc
4. ???
5. Profit

Will all of those easily created items that people are now wearing disappear? Will the user be banned for buying something created with a duped material? Or are those gonna be untouched (preferable)?

Since the duping is over, this is something that will gradually fade over time. Prices will return to normal, and while there will be some winners and losers, eventually it will stabalize. I agree that it's being overblown.

The naivety of you people is staggering.

I appreciate that they told us anything at all. Could do some more of that.

I'll also hope they're not quite done with it yet, and keep on cleaning things up. Either way, it will not affect my game-play etc. either.

(Just wish they'd do something about the botters etc., too. Don't even need to tell us about it!)

focus on the 36-48 rmt on our servers flooding zones with 500 % movement speed 24/7 botting seems like a task for this super special task force

[Isola]

A bump so that it doesn't get forgotten.

MILLIONS of duped items still exist on alts of dupers, and on the auction house. And now a second exploit is live. Doing a great job STF.

SE, you need to intervene. This game needs policing and it is out of control right now, please issue WARNINGS(not perma bans) to all the bots atm, it would force people to realize you mean business after such a lax two years.

The naivety of you people is staggering.

Your ability to blow things out of proportion is staggering.

Not that it's not a problem, but this looks to me like a case of hyperbolizing something to goad action. (Even if it seems more peoiple are now trying to test whether or not SE will ban them for doing stupid crap)

(side note to a comment on the previous page about medals being sold- only seems to have been on Asura. Only 2 kindred medal stacks have ever been sold on Shiva, and 8 beastmen medal stacks- and in both cases, the stack prices are higher than the singles- so it honestly appears that all or most of the hackers were on Asura- yet another perk to not dogpiling onto the biggest server...)

[Isola]

It really isn't, I mean well, it'd be hard to hoard MILLIONS, but you get the point. The dupers can put 100k medals on a mule. And they did, absolutely.

And they're talking about it, openly.

Edit: I had quotes in this space, but it won't accomplish anything.

[Alhanelem]

Let me just save you some trouble: server transfer.

(you know, even llong before the last server merges, really long before people for whatever reason decided to start piling on Asura, Asura was known to players on many other servers as the scum of vana'diel. And to be frank, from my view, it seems that little has changed...)
