That screen Max is the awesomeness.

Maybe send it into Anet to reinforce the ban. Make sure he cant squirm out of it.

Why are you so naive?

Maybe you are doing it on purpose?

You dont see the link between Herb & his mates (famous rare items collectors) & the armbrace trick ???

Come on you jokin

Herb hasnt been playin GW for months, he said he prefered to stay in LA (no Los Angeles but Lion's Arch) chating through vent/ts with friends, showing each others items, surfing the net....to check prices maybe

He is one of the best informed "bizeness player" in GW

Come on folks open your eyes............
You're throwing accusations around. You're also highly obsessed with Herb, and it's beyond me why.

Also, you are severely off-topic. Go away. Please.


thechunkymonkey, I have no sympathy for you. Consider this a great learning experience. If you know your friend broke into a computer store a few days ago, and then is offering a free brand new laptop, you gotta wonder. Maybe this slap on the wrist will teach you in that circumstance to not accept the laptop. Be glad you're only banned from a game, instead of serving time.

EDIT: That screenshot, max gladius, priceless. Yeah, you're innocent, chunky. Innocent like OJ.

Well, I'm glad to see the greed of a few kids actually helped anet in fixing one serious flaw.

Banning a few accounts will make it seem like all is well...But...I, as well as a few others just KNOW there are some of the 'forefathers' of this hindrance that will NEVER be touched.

Seriously, if you're gonna spread rumours, add some evidence and logic. Assumptions mean nothing. He was filthy rich before the reconnects feature as were his clique and that means nothing in terms of the relatively recent duping craze.

Assume more. Spread more rumours. Nobody cares.

Don't tell me that you thought a guild member was just passing out that many Armbraces cause he got them fair and square. Once an Exploit is found out I'm almost positive the guild member would be to full of himself not to tell how he got them. It is very hard for people to keep a secret. I think that many in once persons inventory is pretty rare.
Well its not really like a hit man hire "technicly" they are doing nothing wrong buying an armbrace cheap. Think of it like buying nestle cereal (yummy!) now there is nothing wrong with buying ceral but you know people are getting exploited...

Arguably, somebody could have given you all of those and you might not have done the duping. Either way, you're profiting from illicit activity. To put your actions in perspective, If I offered you a suitcase with a cool million and nary a word besides, wouldn't you be curious? Granted, all of us have had windfalls before, but mega-bucks of that magnitude = fail.

My only concern is in regards to buying/selling armbraces. I'd love to grab a tormented weapon at a discount, but I'm uneasy about dabbling with tainted goods ( and for good reason.) I'm assuming you get whacked for being an secondary agent in this "scheme", but It'd be ironic if the good players who sat on their hands and waited the storm out missed out on the bandwagon.

Note:Though I'm loathe to admit it, There was a similar incident to this one a number of years ago in Runescape. I don't want to start a discussion on whether it's a good game, worth playing ,etc ( I played it b/c I was younger and strapped for cash). For those who can't recall an incident like this in another MMO, here's how it played out:


1. Dupes flood the economy
2. Players Panic/whine
3. Here be bannings
4. Good players sit on the sidelines/ destroy black market goods knowingly
5. Gamblers say "RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO it" and buy up illicit stuff as rare items plummet in value
6. Dupes never leave market, exploit fixed, bad guys win in the short to long term as the market adjusts slowly.


I'm hoping personally that armbraces get traded in for "Necklaces of Intregity" or "Shackles of Honesty" to remove them from the market and supersede the Armbrace.

Holy RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing shit!!! Stone cold ownage!!! I approve! Glad this exploit was fixed and even more glad I didn't buy an armbrace which would've gotten me banned. Can't wait to see what else develops from this incident including Anets future plans.

Oh I thought that he was just B.S.'ing. That is pretty random... but I guess if someone was that desperate to be rich in a game I guess they could find a way.

"...Also, you are severely off-topic. Go away. Please..."

I understand pretty well that you are upset by my words, again I play GW and I dont make bize in GW but in RL.

You and plenty others have the right to sit all day long in LA and make huge profits. I am not jealous, I wish you all to make the max amount of money as possible

I dont think Anet designed GW to become a zone - a no mans land - where you have to fight against leechers, bots, farming companies, dupers, scammers, ig€sellers..& so on.

GW is my first online game and I play since may 2005. I have I can say a comfortable experience of the game that enables me to act as a member (sorry I am not a US citizen) of the WORLDWIDE GW community.

Thats what I did, because I like this game and I want Anet to get rid off all this SHIT, which have nothing to do with a game. Do you follow me ?

You didnt like what I said, ok........but next time dont tell me :"...Also, you are severely off-topic. Go away. Please..."

Congrats Anet for what you did against those.......what are they called ? ......Players.....yup....I coulnt find the word.

keep on truckin & have fun

Chunky monkey you are such a liar and a scumbag you deserve that perma-ban, yesterday I talked to you and ask you where you got them, and you simply replied "stfu noob".

Well Karma you chunky fool, you and your accomplices.

Thank you Max for some of the best laughs I've had all day.

They must be banning for other reasons as well?
My guild members eluded to the fact that I might have gotten banned for recently having opened trade with them. They had some of those "no-no" items through what they thought was one of their friends who was “quitting that game” and pretending like he was "giving them" all of his stuff.
Too good to be true. Either way, none of that had anything to do with me and I lost my account.
GG, Anet.
Banning all of the people who would have bought GWEN for reasons hardly anyone is aware of is definitely a GG.
yo all i can say is jsut wait it out. they appear to be banning and reviewing. theyll most likely let ur account go.

There you go making accusations again. The only trades I make in-game are the things I have sold on GURU auctions. That's it. I play the game just like you. I don't care about making virtual money, and if you search around for other posts by me, you'll know that was the case.

However, I respect those who do find it fun to make money, or dabble with rare collectibles. If they wish to flash e-peen, or simply strive for the hard-to-get, that affects me not. So why bitch about it? That's my point. Why are you so concerned about Herb or anyone else like him that loves to collect? How does it affect you? It is not I, or anyone else that is upset by your words, it is you who is upset enough to post said words.

So yeah, this is entirely off-topic, and so is my post. We should both now go away. Deal?

From what I can see, Max Gladius opened this thread exposing the whole thing, and Max Gladius took the screenshot that went to Anet and Gaile (which is awesomely linked here).

You show up out of nowhere with no proof, and try to take credit?

Lol stop talking bs, ask gaile yourself i sent her a pm via this guru webpage and mentioned chunky's name..maybe you should inform yourself a bit more and take a look in the mirror before you call other people "lamers".

Max has the screenshot, which is very good and will be remembered, but i told gaile about this guy yesterday which is 1 day before this screenshot surfaced.

Erase everything you've done/accomplished, such as titles, expensive armor, etc.? No way. If they do a roll-back, I know a lot of loyal players, including myself, will stop playing and be pissed. It may seem like the only fair thing to do, but I pray they don't. I'm not rich anyway, I don't farm, etc. So I think it would be super stupid if they did a roll-back. That's just my opinion though. And what lousy timing, with GWEN and Guild Wars 2 right around the corner. The fair thing to me, it seems, is to ban the dubers. The ones who unknowningly bought the dubes or whatever shouldn't be punished. It's not their fault, they didn't know. If they suspected, then yeah maybe a temporary ban would be better. But a permanent ban for the dubers. Who's with me?! SAY NO TO ROLLBACK!

So I suppose it's not remotely possible that someone other than Max Gladius attempted to turn in ChunkyMonkey. I guess Max is the only one that ChunkyMonkey tried to trade with and figured all those stacks of armbraces was a bit suspect. I don't know, maybe you're right that Foxanthar didn't turn him in, but go easy. Do YOU have proof that Foxanthar didn't contact Anet about ChunkyMonkey?

i dont see as to why they woudl do it. think about it, u can only dupe wut u have. as a result they dupe to acquire wut the DONT have, hence armbrace for mini. if u acquire the mini, wut incentive would u ahve to sell it? u already have infite money. would u relaly need to sell? would u wanan dupe more minis and make them less rare?

People are receiving permanent bans (code 45's that is) for buying duped Armbraces. I see no reason why people couldn't wait a couple of days for this to sort out.
Buying an Armbrace is good for the duper, but bad for you. You can choose sides. One pays off. Bad.
