If I buy An Ambrace Of Truth - Will I Get Banned ?
1 pages • Page 1
Armbrace of Truth is used to get Tormented items.v
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. |
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.

The risk of getting banned is just too high, and surely not worth it. ~Prof. |
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!

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.

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.
