This is getting so sad. Within the past few weeks I have seen rare pets being offered for a ridiculous amount of armbraces. I seriously don't know where these are coming from but its skewing the market. It seems like if a legit player wants to buy an extremely rare pet, he/she has to offer stacks of armbraces now. Seriously whats going on here?

I only say this:
DUPE!
Nothing other! Its IMPOSSIBLE to have 1750 (!!!!!!!) armbraces, thats over 50000 ecto!!
sure not ebay, there are 100k like 10$ or so ..

Won't be hackers. Everything is server side. NCsoft/Anet would detect these people.

Wow if they went eBay or a gold site for that much they must be Richard Branson as thats massive amounts of money
No idea but i've seen insane screens lately too
Anyone more up on prices know the GW gold amount for that many braces?

There is some mischief going on for the amount of rare items to flood the market so quickly.

Didn't they just make it easier on Normal Mode? Think that could flood the market?
I rarely go DoA so no idea if that would have effect at all
WOW and i had to borrow off guild leader for my last 2 15k pieces when some people have that much

Wow. I could understand if it was just one person with more money than sense, but if this is fairly widespread then there's definitely something fishy going on. Maybe not a duping exploit as such, but some kind of exploit. Maybe some kind of gemstone exploit with the Mallyx the Unyielding quest. Any word on how long this has been going on?
o m g pizowned
no it can't flood it with over 2000 armbraces

this has been going on for almost a month or so, maybe more. remeber the 1st kanaxia mate sold for 100k+1500e +80arms, i think that's where it started at, GG anet u guys /FAIL

Even if one thousand bots focused on farming gold and then giving it all to a single account, it could take quite a time to make so many armbraces, since you'll have to buy them from other players...
I doubt such figures being possible for a normal player ever playing 6 hours a day since Anguish came out.

Whatever has happened it has spread. I've seen armbraces being offered for ectos, dyes, weapons....
However the price of Gems has stayed the same. If someone had been farming Gems to extinction then the prce of these should also have dropped no? Something doesn't add up.

I guess the lawnmower man was right: There is ALWAYS a backdoor. The one universal truth of networked computing.

There aren't gems farmed, that would take to long ~~
I'm sure somebody found a hack or a dupe ... believe me

How do I know that someone wasn't just playing a joke? Show me images of the item in the thousands, otherwise I'm forced to believe this is just like the old Terror Shield hoax. Especially considering that there were never any confirmed reports of duping or hacking, anet would have made a statement otherwise.
KamikazeChicken
1000*70*4500 = 315,000,000
Since Pandas aren't worth that much, I'd have to assume it's a mistype or joke.
EDIT: That picture from the other thread means they're probably using the old Dark Remains->Ecto trick. :\

Here's an actual in game screenshot from a poster in another thread http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...18&postcount=1
If Anet could stay on top of everything, this game would be flawless if not, perfect. It is likely a quest exploit of some sort. May even be that the chests give more gems then they're supposed to (I haven't done DoA in ages).

go to ascalon id 1 find out yourself if you dont beleive me.

If it exists :
Fix it
Then say it existed
If not someones got no life or lots of cash to blow

Maybe its a scam from a bug? Remember the bug where it looked like someone was trading you a stack of ectos but it was really 1 (or whatever the numbers were)?
Maybe its happening with these things?
Or some other item that looks like them.

i'll be a test subjet if you want to hand me 5 armbraces 
Diddy bow
stacks of armbraces cant be possible can it? im sure there is some dirty buisness here...
max gladius
for those who havent seen my thread on this very serious topic
undeadgun
thx Max, i think all we can do now is sit and wait............. WEAK UP ANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lord Feathers
Well rampant hacks running wild will quickly kill A LOT of their player base.
GloryFox
No way possible its a dupe of some kind or a masking of some kind. I'm wondering if is possible to change the skin and therefore item name to make it appear as something else? Like Iron Ingots, then make them appear as Armbands? Kind of like how some people hacked GW.dat and made characters with the new armor skins? Or some people make new skins for their pets or weapons. Kind of like screen mods but something you can show other people in game through the trade screen?
Just a thought...
We need Fred, Velma, Daffney, Shaggy, and Scooby on the case!

Has anyone actually accepted the trade offer? To check if the armbraces are real?
Shanaeri Rynale
Apparently a few people have bought a couple to see if they are real, they are(well the ones they bought were).
There's too many people doing it to be hoax atm imho.
Rips the mask off the Phantom Duper..
"It's the scribe, we thought he'd been sent to jail months ago.!"
"I would have gotten away with it, if it was'nt for you pesky kids.."

If I had to guess, it would be this bug:
Trading Bug - Stacked items - potential for scam
Just noticed, that bug works in reverse (shows one item, but value for a stack). May be another bug recently introduced that's similar, though.

People are selling Tormented items quite cheaply at the moment. I was tempted to buy daggers for 100k+30 ectos there and then but I can't really trust people right now. With so many armbraces around the value of Tormented weapons will plummet if those with stacks of them are parting with their armbraces (by selling or as parts of trades).
