Been around longer than a week, about a month ago i saw someone selling 90~ armbraces, at the time i put it down to ebay gold but ive been seeing a lot of them around just this week.

I suspect it's an exploit somehow. Maybe, Get a gem set, bring the swap window out, trade it with someone else and then craft the item leaving the gems intact. No idea. But a few days ago there was a post here claiming a dupe program that would do armbraces, it was removed PDQ but I remember seeing it.

Thats ridiculous!
i know i am NEVER going to get an armbrace ever and these people have TONS!>.<
But if i start seeing people selling armbraces for 5k..........i might buy one.....or a few more.....i would like to have those weps
But seriously, i wonder whats going to be done about this?What if they dont even work?Fakes?

Could this be the result of neither ebay gold or dupes but rather some players running their own bots for personal ingame profit? If gold sellers run bots to make real cash then why couldn't individuals run bots to obtain wealth for high-end in-game purchases? Anet might be so incredibly inefficient in catching bots that this is happening regularly.

atlas, im guessing uve never been to mallyx or such... that area is very changing, and botting would be almost impossible from my experiences.
And a full month roll-back would be insane... and i wouldnt expect it, i would expect, and love to see, mas bans

Makes sence, somhow they dupe this items. Relising they are gonna get a perma ban they offer huge ammounts of armbraces for pet-A therefor they think they are safe because they have ditched the blood coverd cash or w/e.

Go check out the Buy Forum. There's some very QQ WTB threads there.
This is disturbing. I've been seeing the same gold seller in Kamadan for a month. I'm sure they've been banned multiple times, but they just keep coming back.
I feel awful for Anet's team trying to chase all these bots/problems/gold sellers down. But looking at this discussion, it looks like something has gone insane.

nah they can't re-roll a month malice. i just hope they unstack them, or delete all armbraces in the game which i'm sure they can't do
Net Flanders
it would be easier, to ban all who have 400+ armbraces got within a day... not with trading, I mean from nothing - farmed or from trader :x
korcan
this problem has apparently been around for the past month or so. if thats the case, there is no way that anet can do anything about it.
i think it would be next to impossible for anet to track down all the armbraces in the game that were somehow duped/glitched/whatever in order to ban players.

To be honest I think I'm past caring. This game just isn't what it use to be.

My guess; Mallyx quest bugged allowing players to accept the reward multiple times allowing them to get stacks of gems then exchanging those for ambraces (since there is a spirit of truth right there beside Mallyx's corpse).

i 100% agree with u
Exigate
It seems they're all offering really high prices on minipets/crystallines probably just so they can dupe them and make ALOT more money..
Diddy bow
Well they could just change all the armbraces into chitin fragments, they have changed items before right? But then people who have deped them might be making weapons, or just buying pandas or w/e. So it would be really unfair on the honest people with the arm braces and the people who did it would probs get away. So either the exploit or whatever it is is fixed or we do a one month rollback... Either way i would boycott armbraces for now and hope a-net fixes the exploit and temporaraly removes the trader who transfers them into weapons. Hope this isnt beond a fix .

I sense Anet is going to reset the whole economy, but idk because I know a lot of people would quit the game if they lost their wealth.
Rehnahvah Gahro
Even if you would get 1 Armbrace out of every Coffer it would not explain thousands of Armbraces...
Just want to know: Are you sure that this isn't some kind of trade scam? Say the one showing the Armbraces has in fact only 7 instead of 1750? And that it would be some kind of bug? I mean noone did such a trade actually, so we can't say for sure til someone does right? (Plz tell me it's a scam, if there are really that much Armbraces and it is a bug... well... hell will break loose to say the least)

Not a bug. Not an exploit. If this were the case, it would have been spread in a fraction of a second... Probably people who run botting companies, and people that are willing to spend 5,000 dollars to be cool in a virtual world.
Imo, these rare Asian pets ruin the game anyway. They only make situations like these happen, and many lucky individuals have gotten like 2000ecto+ profit out of them, all supported by 'black' gold. No offense to you, gladius, but posting here about the problem is kind of double IMO, since you probably had your superrare 15% unconditional weapons financed by 'black' gold also

I'm worried. Q.Q
This Thread needs Gaile/Dev reassurance!

We are most definitely looking into this matter. Remember, there are any number of reasons why this might be going on, including even something as simple as a return of a display bug that was present back in June. (Reference here.) I am not saying that a display bug (and attempted scamming taking advantage of that bug) is the cause -- not at all! But it's a possibility, as are many other possibilities that others have offered.
We'll let you know when we have more info!

undeadgun

well i went there and said wts mini panda, which i didnt have. I got so many PM's! No one actuallly offered up in trade though, which is something i wanted proof of. -.-
Malice Black
Did the same myself, 1200 braces for a panda
undeadgun
yes i just traded 1 arm brace for a tormented shield, they are real ones, yes
Gaile Gray
Thanks for the additional info. This is going around in emails within the company, thanks to Curtis and John getting it started as a point of concern.
So, the designers and programmers are on the case and we hope to have more info soon.
Any other specific information you can provide would be very helpful. If we need anything -- like the names of those offering a gazillion Arm Braces -- I'll let you know.

Oh and 1 armbrace plzkthxbaibai
Rehnahvah Gahro
Well, ONE Armbrace trading for a tormented weapon... that's normal, that probably happens several hundred times a day, but has anyone actually a pic where someone has thousands of Armbraces in his inventory (NOT the trade window), I mean, no offense to all your friends or friends of their friends but it's: no pic => it didn't happen. The only thing I've seen until now are 7 Stacks of
Armbraces in a TRADE window... if someone could plz confirm those in his or her INVENTORY I would be convinced..

So what'll happen to the people that traded for them? Will you just delete the armbraces and they lose their rare minis or w/e?

1. they will simply deleted all the ambraces and mail the person in question its his own fault and he should have known these items were aquired with an exploit/hack
2. they will delete the ambraces and the minipet (from the person who payed you for the mini pet) and spawn a new minipet in the seller (off the minipet) his inventory like nothing has happend
if anet realy is concerned about the wealth and happines off people they will use the second option or something VERY similar
