Are dupers still among us?
6am3 Fana71c
Ok, so here's the deal. I remember, I was in DoA one day. There was a monk there, in black clothes, and with panda bear near him. He had a catchy name, which I won't reveal, since I am not allowed to. Anyway...
He was spamming: WTS Armbraces, 60 ecto each, 200 left!
I thought he was either joking, or e-bayed them. So, I didn't payed much attention. But tommorow I found a thread on Guru, saying that items are beeing duped. And of course, my first thought was "So, that's how that guy got them!" Anyway, A-net started baning, and I forgot about that guy, since I was sure he got owned. But today...I came across him again! Yes, the same guy. Or maybe he got new account and made a char with same name - but it has to be him. He is even in the same guild. So here are some things I noticed:
1) I remember that that guy's guild once won in HoH, since I was watching random matches on Observe. They ALL had Tormented shields.
2) On my screenshots (provided bellow) there are 2 guys. My theory is, that they were partners, since it takes 2 people for duping trick. Both of them have same title, R2 Sweet Tooth. Duped candies for title? Highly possible. Duped panda bears? I would say so.
3) And one more thing. They both acted like kids. When I said to him that I have doubts of how he got his panda, I was told to, I quote, "STFU NOOB". Very mature. My tries to have any conversation with him ended with him insulting me and everyone else who agreed with me.
Here are the screens. Personally, I think that guy either didn't got banned or he did, but menaged to stash his wealth somewhere safe, and after he got banned he simply got new account and recovered his stuff.

There was evidence of duping surfacing for a full month before Anet got wind and took action. They insist that it was happening for a 'very short time' and that 'they know all' and they supposedly banned all the culprits. Common sense would tend to suggest otherwise.

And just to make something clean here (again): I saw that guy, or to be precise, guy with same name, clothes, and minipet, spamming that he is selling 200 armbraces. I didn't took the screen that day, but it was him, believe me or not.

When you see immature players with FoW, tormented weapons (and other very rares), money titles, very rare minies... they are probably ebay'ers or dupers. Thats why when certain people see folks this insanely rich you can't help but accuse them.
o m g pizowned
i would tell you to stfu if you said i was a duper out of nowhere too. it's natural to respond that way
undeadgun
so just say in pubulic: hey look those are dupers, their armor are black, they have panda, ask me why they are? i dont even know!

The reactions to this guy dont have any stock in them but really really bad english, dont tell him he knows nothing cause thats why hes asking to explain.
I find it amazing how people that speak so crappy on forums to be able to amass that amount of ecto, personally I think your lying or either cheating.
Please try to explain why that person saw someone selling that insane amount of armbraces cause a lot of people wont even get to see one in their entire time in gw.

Its a bit strange that you can feel personally offended while someone is talking about two suspicious players he didnt even name. You shouldnt react like that unless you have a reason to. :P
Except for the bad english comment, i find that offensive... Please do note that GW and this site is populated by people from all over the world, and not everyone outside the US or UK speaks fluent english, nor can write that accurately.

ummm guild name? as leader if your guild member involed this, wud would u do??
ScoobyDooby Dooo
ok armbraces were deleted by anet people that duped were banned also banned people that sold them to make a profit. people that made a profit out of it got unbanned but anet took items away from them thus they took any ectos made from selling armbraces.
i was rich b4 duping from trading and selling a Rare mini pet i got DIRT cheap, so next time someone accuses makes sure u have ur proof together because you dont have any i served my time for what i done anet took my ectos away and that also happened to my trading partner, but we was rich b4 so w/e.

To everyone flaming the guy who created this thread:
Check what the thread is called
IT DOES NOT SAY
This guild/character(s) is running illegal programs and creating items of the same kind.
He (the thread creator) is simple wondering if duplicate items are still in operation and although he might not has the best support on his platforms, he still has enough information to raise an eyebrow.

Kids have less responsabilities than college/university students so they'll spent tons of time grind cash/PvP 22 hours per day. It's obvious that they have internet language (i.e. words like STFU) since they don't go to class often.
They might ebaying too since their parents don't even know/care what are they are doing online. Society today has change a lot in the past 10 years. Kids are very lucky today. 15 years ago, all we have is Game Boy lol

Conclusion: I still think you cheated, however some part of me thinks you got them honestly but thats the part that thinks you skipped school to farm cause your english is horrible.

But that doesn't matter, and let's say that they really are "clean", as their guild leader so undenyably explained. [/sarcasm]
I still want to see what community thinks about this. Read the title of the thread.

They dont have to prove anything.
Report them and they wont be banned.
English as a second language anyone?
-------------------
Edit: Its none of the communities business. Wow they are rich. Doesnt mean they duper or w/e. 99% of the people dont know the facts so should stay out of this. Id be rly mad if people did this to me. I feel sorry for Scoob as this is rly out of order.

Really show me where in the First Post the person in question accused Scoob and Ecto, they just claimed to be them and twisted his question about dupers still existing got twisted into a accusation wich he denied.

You heard they were duped, aha like out of nothing a candy cane popped up and tells you hey those ectos you know they are DUPED! Yeah right again i doubt the person that traded you told you this.
usually ebay gold sellers use mules to keep or transport the gold so it cant be traced back, seems like anet took the right decision. Noones acting like they know what happened, They are ASKING what happened. Please tell us these obvious reasons cause I dont think theres anything you can prove, why simple you yell I CAN PROVE IT, but i cant show it for obvious reasons. Yeah that makes sense. You could very well just give a fake name from any possible idiot in the game so dont expect anyone to check for it.

I think this thread is gone way off course, the OP just posted about what they thought could be duping and you get a swarm of geniuses attacking and defending their honor?
Awesome.
Duped? I think it might be, but then again some of the riches people in online games aren't usually the brightest...so...yeah.

Kinda off-topic but is Olivia's account still active? Prior to the revelation of duping, I saw Olivia selling around 60 Armbraces in high-end which i presume were a trade for one of here expensive pets. I do not think she duped and I don't want anybody to think that but I suspect the armbraces came from a duper somehwere along the line.
It would be a real tragedy if her account was lost. :'(

Their shortminded responses are the only thing that lifts some suspision, but true this thread turned into something it wasnt meant to like many before this one. Anyway by just saying they didnt do it you wont make a difference, please put in some reasoning of why you think their innocent or so. Because it seems like a person cant even question things around him anymore, its clear that the person didnt mean to start a flame war nor an accusation. He asked a perfectly normal question yet he gets insulted and threathened for what wondering about something.
