Well I am totally confused
1. If you have he item already why do you need to duplicate it
2. If we could duplicate items wouldn't everyone have done it by now and everyone would have everything already.
3. If we could duplicate items why would we need to duplicate gold
4. Why would only a handful of people know how to duplicate items
5. why would anyone buy or duplicate gold - it makes playing the game seem useless if you already have everything - much more satisfying to earn everything.
Scammers :(

Zomgyogi: Sorry for your loss. I know how it feels. I got scammed 120 ecto + 120 shards just when i was planning to make my first fow armor. I left GW for a few weeks, got over it and went to farm for my fow armor again. BTW Got all the screenshots and the scammer is still playing GW.
Flamers: Ye we were too stupid and over confident to believe such scam could not happen. but whats with all the insults? is your arrogance so big that you need to insult the person? Say one of you got scammed in Kamadan, you would not like everyone in local chat to say " HAHAHA STUPID NOOB". So please, the victims dont need your insults. Keep them for the scammers. They are the ones who spoil the game.

And I'm reluctant to even call you a victim. You and the scammer are both in the wrong, end of. I imagine the "flamers" in this thread are a tad bit more clued in on this or they wouldn't have posted.

flamers need a life.... and oh btw, flamers are real ppl too, can u say out loud u never get greedy? so just stfu and find some other things to do instead of waiting in Riverside Inn to flame someone, get a life......

I literally point and laughed at my screen while reading this post .. sorry but duplicating items in thirsty river? thats the most retarded scam ive ever heard I think even a newbie player would still gather some info about this before he would agree on it.
william1975
Well to be totally honest, I don't believe i get greedy at all, I know what i need, and I'm happy to attain that and that alone, I also know what I want, and I work to get that.
However, not being greedy I refuse to go overboard on attaining those things that I want over what I need
What I need are good weapons with max stats, max armour and well equiped heroes to make interchanging of team makeup possible.
I would like to have the pretty and sexy skins and armours, when I desire one I work for it to gain the cash necessary, however i fulfill the requirements of need first. I do not cry over the fact I can't have everything I want, and neither do I fall for scams, and, as I stated, the honest person dosen't fall for them, because a scam is invariably set up by someone that is setting out to con a person that thinks there is some loophole they can exploit, as we are not meant to cheat or utilise these, then anyone falling for these themselves is not worthy of sympathy.
To be honest here I also think that anyone believing everyone is greedy to some extent has a pretty skewed view of reality,

I just got scammed... Almost everything I had that was worth something is gone. You may say I'm stupid or whatever, but for me this really sux and I am not sure if I will play GW anymore. Some rotten fruits is ruining everything for me. If I had met thet person who scammed me in real, I would have kicked his nuts up his nose. Well now I have complained and I don't find GW fun anymore. On the positive side, now I can go outside and enjoy the summer.

IaBan, i understand ur feeling, i got scammed b4, not a big one, but still hurts, i had same thoughts as you, but after that, have you ever think bout what if u quit, who 'd be laugh? u? or the scammer? and who d be care ? no one right? when something bad happen to u, u just got to face it, and get over it, not to use "quit" to escape from the world man.
laBan
I know, I just feel very stupid right now.... I really hope I want to play GW again, but I will probably need some time before I wanna play again. Right now I'm just so extreamly pist at my self and dissapointed that evertyhing I've done so far in GW doesn't mean anything to me..... but as I said, I hope my dissapointment is gone in a couple of weeks.

Nevertheless, look on the bright side; now you can laze around the beach.
HawkofStorms
Wow. This is an OLD SCHOOL scam. I remember reading about this like 10-12 months ago on these forum (maybe even earlier, I think it was before Factions release). Anyway, I couldn't believe people were stupid enough to fall for it then, I can't believe people are stupid enough to fall for it now.
Seriously, if you are going to even try something like this, you should do it with like a white item or something first just to test it out, rather then trust this random guy you met in town.

I was also scammed by this silly tactic before. Reported all the details and screenshots to Arenet but nothing happened. Well I stopped playing GW for around 1 or 2 weeks to get over it. Darn it was hard to accept that pain.
I really feel sorry to those who are victims of scammers for whatever tactics these filthy players use. You guys should keep posting to inform other players and don't worry about flamers here. They are always ready to "haha idiot you derserve it" to you when you are scammed.

I know that player's do not deserved to get scammed, but I'm sorry if they are stupid enough to fall for the same scam more than once they do deserve it because it's just stupid if you do it over and over and then complain everytime.
Have common sense. And either way what the OP was doing broke the EULA so stop trying to make him feel better.

However if someone was scammed in a deal or something I would feel sorry for the person.
BIG difference.

Yup, comparing a trade scam to a dupe scam is like comparing getting burglarized to falling for a Nigerian email scam (We need to gets da millins out of country, we splits it wit ya, u just need to pay da $3000 processin fee).
Both those guys are scum, but only one requires you to stoop to their level to get boned.
On the bright side, it'll only take you another month to make that gold back, and it's not like you paid real money for what you lost.

lol this is the best thread ever now!
You have people who were attemping to use an exploit that would cheat the game, crying about being scammed!
I'm gonna come out and say it! Your an 'Idiot'! If you attempt to cheat the game and get scammed in the process, don't even bother looking for support in the forums. People like me are always ready to point out how retarded these threads are!
Second reason why this thread kicks ass! People flaming other people for pointing out the clear cut abusive nature of getting scammed by trying to exploit the game.
laBan, If you were actually scammed, that means ripped off in some other manner then trying to exploit the game, I'm sorry for your loss. Let me kow if there is anything I can do.
But if like the OP you were attempting to exploit the system and conduct yourself in an illegal (against the game rules) manner, Sorry you deserve it!

When you trade take it SLOW and wait for the OTHER trader to press accept first, Sorry its the best advice I could give (got nothing else in mind)

The 2 weeks you stopped playing were because of a ban weren't they?
Etta
This thread still open? The guy tried to cheat the system and got scam by a better cheater. Seem fitting somehow. Close pls.
SoulTwister
Yes, just close this. The guy just wants other people to feel bad for him because an fake exploit did not work.

i think i rolled back a salvage kit by accident... i needed piles of dust and i had a bunch of demonic remains, 46ish. i bought a salvage kit from guild hall. then i stared to salvage the remains. it was boring to salvage and i was cliking it as fast as i could. suddenly i got an error7. when i logged back on, i cheked my char and my salvage kit was intact. still 25 uses but there were piles of dust and less demonic remains. i was confused that i had the dust yet the kit was as new. in any case i went at it slower coz i hate error7 and i have no idea if i could repeat that again. i don't wanna try it either.

you get scam?
go to guildwar-suport and report the player
and try to make a scrn shot of the scam.
note the name of the player,the time and the place where you are.
than the player can get kick form GW for a time.''some times that is up to guildwar-suport''.

A guy was trying to sell a perfect req 9 chaos axe for 90K (I think that was the price) I asked if he accepted trades, and he said yes. My first bid was a mini elf, and a good shield. He canceled and said he wanted more. I said that was ok and made my next offer, the same two things and 2 ectos. he canceled deal and said no, he wanted more, well I made my nest offer, those three tings plus a bow, he canceled and said no. All those times he offered me a perfect req 9 bow. Then He contacted me and asked if I had any cash, I said I was low on cash so we agreed on all those things and 3k (My bid was now a total of approx 110-115K). This time I forgot to check if it was the correct axe, actually it was the only time I forgot to check. I was tired and was about to go to bed. I accepted, and some seconds later I found ut i got a crappy req 11 chaos axe 13>50 with no mods att all. I tried to contact him to get the deal reversed, but he did not even answear me. I even said that he could keep the ectos if he returned the rest of my stuff, still no answears.
So I got scammed the old school way, you might say I was stupind and not paing enough attention, but it want make me any better. People like this guy is not good for the GW community. They are destroying much for both n00bs and "semin00bs" like me. I Play GW because its fun, but right now I dont find it fun anymore.
I've take contact with anet, anf have reported the scam, but I was to late to take any screenshots, so I guess all my saving is gone.

It makes no sense to me that someone who has played the game long enough to acquire 100k still doesn't see a scam coming. Maybe you got lucky with a rare item or something. If you were sucked in to try getting an item duplicated then i can't feel sorry for you for trying to cheat anyway. I'm glad you lost your money. Hope it teaches you a lesson.

Arrogance? Not once in my post did I ever insult you or anyone else. What I said was the truth. It was selfish, greedy and against the rules. Don't get mad at me because you tried to break the rules and you got your stuff jacked. You worked for one set of armor, yet you think you're entitled to more? Being greedy doesn't excuse your behavior, so don't sit here and act like you didn't do anything wrong.
Why not just stay in GW and play the game instead of trying to put words in my mouth?
ichigo_panty
If people could dupe items, why would they share it? They could just dupe those 15 unconditional and drive the market down.
Ouch, that must hurt. Denying and opening trades over and over again till you trusted that guy. Ouch, that hurts. Well, it serves as a lesson for most of us. Double check and check before you press that accept. Never press accept first.
