Mass-Banning

No one has proven anything.. The people that WERE DOING THE DUPLICATING should be banned.. not the ones that bought and took things from them. If you go to look at it one way, you can't break a rule for buying things for cheep? . And those 250 ambrace stacks.. where does it say chunkys name? I would love to see.

This is getting really off-topic, this title isn't called "BLAME SUCH AND SUCH" .. spam feast.

ahhh follow the link, it says Trading With.... wow, welcome to GW

sorry link got broke for a sec

Um... You did look at the picture I quoted, right?

Okay well first off Mists, you and Chunky are from the same guild. Now you could be telling the truth of course..but you said you got the items from a guildy and then you bought some...well which one is it?

Oh and hall look at the screenshot a few posts above yours.

Now you two could be telling the truth..or you two could be the culprits of it. I'm not sure what to believe really.

My guild leader, 5 officers (including me), all banned. Good game ANet.

Not worth telling our cases here (no one bought armbraces, 3 people weren't even ingame yesterday), did so in an e-mail to them. Let's hope this is sorted out.

Right, so If I know someone (like chunky did) that is knowingly exploiting the game, and I choose not notify the game, then it is ok for me to reap the rewards of that exploit?

I think NOT.

He knew that those armbraces HAD to have come from the duplication exploit. There is no way in hell that his friends are just that nice and that rich to give away at least 7 stacks...STACKS of armbraces to their buddy chunky.
He knew about the exploit and he choose to try and gain from it.

Anet did the right thing in my opinion. He deserves the ban.

This is complete and utter bullshit. How in the hell is anyone supposed to know if they recieved duped items? I am absolutely refusing to play this game anymore if I lost my r9, legendary guardian, etc account because I somehow got a duped item. I don't even remember trading with anyone other than for victory tokens, and those came from my guild.

1) Gaile has explained that this is a wide ranging ban FOR THE MOMENT while they pin down the exploit problem.

2) The Dupes haven't just been selling for just a few days - it's apparantly been going on for about a month. You may have bought/traded something earlier than just the last 48-72 hours.

3) If you believe you have unfairly been banned because you innocently bought an item (without knowing it was duped), then take your concerns to support. There are legit ways to go about the problem - bringing the discussion to the forum is only fueling the fire for the Whiner/Haters.

4) Because this is a SEVERE problem - taking up many resources in support, and the devs trying to resolve the problem - don't expect a resolution at the snap of the fingers. Support will be dealing with many people querying about their ban. Support are very good (when you're not in a ballistic mood at them) for sorting out problems - they know what they're doing. If the ban remains in place, they have legit reasons - the only word we have of your innocence is YOURS.

Think of the old adage "There's two sides to every story - yours, mine and the truth".

Allow me to help you.



I hope you see now

I don't know... I still don't quite see where the name is.......

How long till this happens?

Till what happens?

Sadly with how long this bug is estimated to have been around. Maybe his friends are that nice to give him 7 stacks of armbraces. And even more scary if they did give him 7 stacks how many did they keep for themselves.

Wow, I don't even know when I write that.

Hahaha, someone from the guild gets screened with 1750 armbraces and ur guild gets banned, conincidence...

Good riddance, gtfo of GW.

You won't find pity posting the forum.

i'm liking this mass ban. all these liars and greedy people getting kicked out of GW.
Anet should do this more often

This has been going on for atleast a while now, So the "Oh I wasn't in game yesterday" defense is just useless.

If your banned forget posting on forums your not going to get any help, send off an email to Anet and they will explain why your exploiting ass got banned.... or say oops our mistake here is your account back.

Chunky monkey, hmm dude it appears your guilty as sin. Sorry but you'll learn a lesson.

This update temporarily disabled the reconnect feature in the game to prevent further exploitation of a trade bug that allowed players to duplicate items using reconnection.

This was taken from the official wiki. It seems when you disconnected, they believed you were actually using the exploit to dupe. There ya have it.

You do realise how strange that sounds, Disconnected and reconnected... Cousin on the same IP as you.


Posting here won't help you any. Anet already know if you suddenly appeared with 1750 armbraces, they in all likelyhood can trace them back to the exact original one.

And as for the disconnects, they have error logs to improve game play so they can tell how many times, your location and even the nature of the disconnect fault.


Stop posting here you won't get anything but mocked, send off a email and they will help u if your innocent.

It's not Anet fault.

"It's the innocent who always pay for the sins of the sinners."

Want to blame anyone? Blame those who abused the exploit.
