It has gotten very annoying and pathetic lately how many high end minis are getting 100+ armbrances in trade,

examples of what ive heard of / seen:

Mini Kanaxi 95 mil!
1000 armbrances for 5 minis, in 1 trade....

I, and many other legitimate high end traders are very turned off to the game because there are so many trades like this happening.

ANET FIX IT NOW BEFORE I SELL MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL!

Few things are going on, with no doubt....

EBAYER or DUPERS...

You make the call....
95 mil.. ebaying would be... im guessing 5 - 10 thousand dollars american.... i dont know exactly cause i dont deal with or go to any of the such sites...

Duping items seems the only logical option happening... i am thinking the only location that they are able to dupe items like this is... at the stone for armbrance dealer..

im guessing they offer, disconnect, accept, reconnect, and do it over again....

I am not saying to do this, i am not saying i want to or approve of it, i am just suggesting how they are doing it....

Many reasons, they are not duping anything but armbrances... from the way it looks... not like 1000 mini pandas, its 1000 armbrances....

POST YOUR THOUGHTS... if this lasts much longer i feel i will have to find a new game to play....

TO CLARIFY... i was in ascalon inter dist 1 spamming (selling kanaxi show me ur offers) and that was offered

To RE-CLARIFY - no way in world did i or do i have a mini kanaxi

To OVERLY CLARIFY - i didnt photoshop nothen.... if someone doesnt believe me, they they dont know me.... i have nothing to gain from anet smacken these ppl upside the head... alot...

This isn't legit gold. I know all the games mega rich, none of them would spend stupid amounts of money on mini-pets.

There is something screwed up here, nobody would buy that much gold.

This game has been out for 2+ years and it continues to have MAJOR issues. Where do these people get these armbraces? Are they the new currency? This is absolutely sad if you ask me.

of course it's not legit lol...people have 50k + ECTOS (not cash) is completely rediculous/ruining the game.

anet needs to take this out before half of its loyal gamers quit.

i think it is kind of rediculous how out of no where people start coming out selling stacks of armbraces. It shows theres a problem with DoA whether theres an insane amount of bots or whether it got insanely easy to get gems but it seems at this rate torment weapons are going to be worthless

and if you think about it, hundreds of players made a substancial investment getting a torment item for their own use. with the prices falling an insane amount in just a few days people have to decide whether to resell their item now for a huge loss of money or just keep it even though itll be a very common item soon anyway

It seems every time anet comes out with an item that would be considered rare, that is high end and people buy to show off, something is updated and the market gets flooded with them, people lose money and it becomes an ordinary item. The cycle just continues like that over and over and many of the loyal gamers get frustrated and quit.

It's pretty clear that a duping method has been discovered. Anet needs to get on this. Now.

Price for the armbraces will go down ... that's also sure :/

But how the ... did they get them? I think, from the side of the programmers nowhere you have a chance to "dupe" items ...

There is many radical solutions that could be taken...
Do not allow more than one stackable item of the same type at the same time.
Do not allow trading 0 value items...
And the fault will be completely theirs.

Yeah, that would make 100k+251 ecto impossible... but there are more materials... obsidian, rubies, sapphires...

Yea I think its bs. Too many people have a ton of them and selling at the same time. People are either buying gold from sites with real money (which I doubt), titan gemstones drop like glittering dust (the other gemstones are quite worthless), or a huge exploit/dupe hack exists that some people know about. Either way, WTB armbrace 10k

hypothetically, lets say one person ebayed enough gold for 1750 armbraces.

1 armbrace = ~70 ectos
1 ecto = ~4.5k

so that equals out to around 315k/armbrace

1750 x 315k = 551,250,000 platinum

and according to your gold site info

1 million plat = $100

that would be $55,125 that someone spent on gw gold. WTF

Apparently this has been going on for a month. If so I don't see how they could re-roll. I think targeted bans are more likely.

Max I suggest you post that & the name of the person to anet's support people.

Then they can take action & perhaps even watch the trading in doa & start banning accounts.

Like someone else said before, I would like to see a response from anet on this too....even if only to acknowledge this thread......

i totally agree, something is very wrong, ambraces where jumping about inter dis 1, like they had been falling out of the sky!!!(know its dragon festival, but don't think they was dropping ambraces

)
anyway i took a few screen shots and will post them along with this(they have been edited to protect players, but if someone from a/net wants the originals i will be happy to pass them along), as this DEFINITELY needs to be sorted, before game is totally ruined

) I have seen people talk about this, and a guildmate mentioned it. There is deffinatly not something right with that..

That's a lot to roll back. Two lots of Dragon Festival for a start. They'd have to have ANOTHER one so everyon could get their Demon masks again

. However for the moment, I think I'll steer clear of trading with armbraces, I don't wanna be near anybody trading with them if ANet start tracing the source.

Concur, ANet will have to do something about this.

Shame that it apparently happened right in the middle of a special event weekend.

Last rollback that I can recall occurred when they accidentally reset the traders down to minimum values. That was about a year and a half ago.

Not sure they will rollback, it's been going on too long and only really affects DoA items. Quickest fix would be to make armbraces non tradable to players..

Depend on their means of getting the ambraces, do they get multiple ambraces, or multiple gems to get the ambraces? And would this mean torment weapons are untradable too? Or the gems... Whatever the case they clearly didn't genuinely get them... even if all you did was DoA, and didn't sleep, you'd not get this many. >_>

i agree.... cant hurt what they farm... THIS ISNT A FARM this is some type of hack / hole some ppl have found....

Note:
Stones, not flood the market....
DOA greens arent totaly flooding the market....
Armbarnces, flooded, overly, not even getting 100k 40e in town now.....
