If I buy An Ambrace Of Truth - Will I Get Banned ?
Sirus Dibley
Well ? An official answer would be nice.
Tatum
Hehe, you don't get banned. 
Armbrace of Truth is used to get Tormented items.

With money or game gold?
If you pay real money for an item, technically they can ban you. But in all honesty there is pretty much no way they can possibly tell if you paid real money for it or not (unless they were the ones selling it, like a cop faking to be a prostitute).

As Gaile has stated in another thread (sorry I dont have it to hand to quote) those who actively abused the exploit, those who knowingly recieved or purchased items they knew had been created through the exploit (This also includes people who sold items for stacks of Ambraces as Gaile said its fairly obvious they wouldnt have been obtained through legit gaming). However people who have purchased the odd one or 2 items without knowing of the exploit (I assume this means you need to be a few steps down the chain from someone who originally exploited it, so you could not have known) are very unlikely to be banned.
So basically as long as your not buying from someone spamming they have stacks to sell or offering stupids ammounts in trade you should be ok. If you want to risk it or not is up to you however, it seems unlikely you would have a desperate need for one expect to make a profit from this situation so I would advise not purchasing one. Of course the choise is yours.
If you can obtain one yourself without buying that would obviousely be the better route to take.

Here is what we've done:
Did you think we'd never notice? Of course we noticed! Our recordkeeping is exceptionally detailed. You can't move a piece of gold from one bag to another without us knowing it. And as a result, those at the center of abusing this exploit were banned. That is as it should be. The issue of someone selling a single ambrace to another innocent person, later on, is more complicated. The item was duped, but the buyer may not have been -- probably was not -- aware that he/she was buying a duped item. So, it's a matter of degree, intention, and knowledge. Do we ban the seller, with multiple stacks of 250 armbraces in inventory (or who handed off stacks to friends and guildies)? Yes! Do we ban the player who makes the one-off purchase -- an armbrace here, a couple of duped ectos there? It's not likely that we will. Duplicating items is disallowed by the User Agreement under which each player is permitted to play Guild Wars. Getting stacks and stacks of free items -- or receiving ridiculous numbers of items for a sale -- must have pinged peoples' radars that "Hey, this can't be legit!" Just as receiving stolen property is a crime in the real world, this sort of act is disallowed in our game, and results in a ban. Those who made an innocent purchase have very little to worry about. The accounts of those who were banned were examined with care and consideration, using extensive research to assure that the appropriate action was taken. It is highly unlikely that these players can successfully appeal their banning. And if you're aware of someone who was involved, I invite you to report that player, for the good of the game. |

As long as you buy it with legit ingame gold, you will not get banned.
bilateralrope
My advise, wait a few weeks before buying one, just to give things a chance to settle down.

Agree, right now the Ambrace market is more or less a red zone. Seeing that you have no mean of knowing weather or not the items are duplicated. Also ANet is tracking those items and will ban first and ask question later if they see one. If you really want to buy it, do so at you own risk.
Prof Of Black
Just dont buy one, wait.
The risk of getting banned is just too high, and surely not worth it.

I would steer clear of buying any high value items from anyone except the merchant. I popped into ToA late last night and people were selling Ambraces of Truth for 5K. That is a ridiculously low price and these items were duped. Having duped items in your inventory puts you at risk for being banned.

You know now and you are trying to figure out whether it is safe to take advantage of the panic in the armbrace market.
Shame on you!
Miss Puddles
i think he's just being cautious about buying a legit one. people do hate waiting to buy things they want.
i think you plaed the shame card way too early, dude.

Its a very high end item that gives you the option to choose from several high end weapons in Nightfall.
They did something with the internetreconnect option to reproduce these items. *named duped/duplicating*
That is also why the reconnect option is turned off.
My tip: Dont buy an Armbrace now. Just get the gems and get one yourself in Normal Mode from a Spirit of Truth in one of the 4 area's . She cant duplicate one.
Dont burn your fingers on something that is to good to be true.

Like almost everyone here said before, you won't get banned unless you buy one with "black" gold or if you buy like 1750of them, buying one won't get you banned.

I would wait a week or two, to give ANet the time to remove any left-over dupes. Or just buy gemstones and get the armbrace yourself.
joze
I would do as many here have suggested you to - simply wait.
ANet will probably make attempts to remove these duped Armbraces from the market, and maybe one day yours will be gone.
You can risk of getting banned too, ANet is not very careful with what they've done recently. I know several persons who got banned for buying Armbraces for 60E and selling for 70E, even though they did not know they were duped ones.
Stay away from Armbraces for a while before you buy one - that's what I'm going to do.

It's not likely that you will, but you probably should be. Just
for being foolish enough to buy one now when you obviously
know what's going on with them.

you dont probably should in any way, you bought and payed for your account, there is not even a warn to people ingame, its not oblidged to game use that you go through forums to know of the incopetence in the security sistem of the game, the only ones that can be banned are those who duplicated the items.
Anet have the bad habbit on passing up theyr problems to users, they gave much more gold for free qhen they leveled prices, if i manage to buy armbraces for 5k its thumbs up to you, its not your fault they let the game be exploited.

Maybe you can repost that after you get banned so we can
laugh at you.
The fact is, if you want an armbrace then you know what an
armbrace is for, and you also have a good idea of what they're
worth. If you buy one for 5k and try to claim that you didn't
know there was something wrong with that.... well, like I said,
repost your viewpoint after you're banned so we can have a
good laugh.
