All item duplication exploit (do not name players please)
Hlaford
As I said, I do not have the necessary components in order to perform the dublication, probably for the better. And, I believe, as of right now, I have the best possible reason for the duped items. Believe me or not, I am telling the truth.
Hlaford
Also, remember, FoW and UW have become available to anyone at pretty much any time, due to scrolls now! Thus, the price of ectos and shards will drop.

Former guild leader of mine made a killing on Diamonds. I wouldn't buy them now; you'd have had to have done so a couple of months ago.

doubt they would copy one crystalline that nets you like 100k+500e
when 250 armbraces sold for 90 ectos gets you 22,500 ectos.
22,500 at 4,500 per ecto is 101,250,000
while the crystalline is 100k + 4,500 x 500 = 2,350,000
both items take up only one slot... which would you rather have?

My friend thinks it was an exploit with the Snake that gives the Armbraces, that he gave an unlimited amount until they fixed it or something, but not to sure.

I don't think that the problem is YET as widespread as one might fear; whatever damage was done to most commodities is already priced in. However, unless the loophole is closed very, very soon we could be facing much broader problems.
Also, the weapon market should hold its integrity; as 'against' noted, you could easily trace a duped weapon by the merch value indicator.
pigdestroyer
so has anyone tried the duping? I bet some of you have. Does it actually works?
Chop it Off
if they could dupe any item, then why are they buying MULTIPLES of rare mini pets?
Hlaford
There is nothing wrong with GW's Programming, the Snake has nothing to do with it. I already said how they did it. Try it for yourself if you don't believe me =.=
undeadgun
id doubt they will give out more rare pets, but o hwell, u never know... and i heard the thing is already fixed?O_x?

if this duping glitch is in fact true, just imagine how hectic things are at anet. with the release of gwen just around the corner, i doubt anyone at anet could have anticipated this type of a disaster.
with the limited amount of time they have, they probably cant do much to fix the problem.
if you think about it, it only really effects a very small percentage of the player population. guess my hope of someday owning that mini panda is now just a pipe dream. oh wellz...

To be fair... the development of Guild Wars 2 comes a distant second behind sorting out a major exploit with the potential to lose them alot of players like this if its true.

If they've been laundered properly/well, they're probably everywhere, and ArenaNet can't do a thing about them, actually.

Well anyway. My hats off to Anet for this one, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse after the favor change. I certainly hope they learn from their mistakes in GW.

This is amazing, I would cut off my right nut just to get one armbrace or a tormented weapon, and there are people that have hundreds. Some of us will probably never hold an armbrace or a tormented weapon. I suppose its like comparing Bill Gates to Joe Schmoe who works at McDonalds.

Well I have to give it to them though. If you're gonna get greedy and do it out in the open, at least do it during an event so you know they won't roll things back. They may be asshats but they're smart asshats. They may not have made enough in the weeks leading up to this. Right now is the perfect time to just go all out.

After reading about the way that items are duped, about how it involves the reconnect feature, and that this could've been going on for months, that gold sellers could've duped an infinite number of any item they want, I believe I can sum of the thought that is in everyone's mind in three words:
Holy.
RED ENGINEing.
Shit.
>Gold sellers crit 9 million billion on Guild Wars.
>Guild Wars dies.
...At least the most vital things in Guild Wars are the cheapest. For that I am thankful...But still-
DAYAM!

to be fair, the worst that will happen is torment weapons will become worthless...
(shiny, but worthless)
and life will go on otherwise
(and hopefully I can get some shinies myself)

There's a good chance none of this [at all] is real. I find it amusing how much you people are flipping.

1 month ago a topic came up about how a few players were seen advertising that they wanted to sell something like 50-60 armbraces. I pointed out at the time that it just so happened right after someone posted a topic about item duping that quickly got deleted.
I'm not surprised there are several people who have 1000 armbraces now, if that dupe topic had any ounce of truth to it.

Anyone remember the D2 trading community? Yeah, the armbraces might just replace gold as the currency.
