I think the number of people who still care about this is pretty low. I would hazard a guess that it is no more than ~1,073.

If they're so rare we, as the player community, don't even know, does it really even matter....? Even if it were confirmed they still existed, they wouldn't start dropping anymore than when this issue was first brought up.

Gaile didn't know what sinsplit was when she was asked a while back, so nothing she says means anything. R7's used to show up quite a bit when they did drop, and now there are _NO_ new R7's. It's not RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing rocket science.

I dont see the point in R7 weapons...If you have 7 attribute points in that line, you're probably going to use those skills or weapons, and will need more points...like a sword for example.

edit: and its not like its that hard to level up and get more points anymore.

Req 7 shields are dead helpful to casters you know. Sometimes we actually have those attribute points to spare.

For everything most items except shields its basically rarity. But for defense on monks getting the 16 AL instead of 8 AL without too much investment is very nice, 7 attribs instead of 8 in tactics makes a nice difference.

Which is exactly why I save all the Q7 15AL inscriptable shields I find regardless of what color they drop. Also make for a VERY nice caster defense in PVP as you cannot make these.

I dunno... would be "interesting" to know for sure. But do you know the slipside to this whole thing? This Dev, John I suppose is his name, may get around to nerfing those drops. ;-) There are pros, and there are cons to having the administration know stuff.

Just like they're pros, and cons, to letting the mass of guild wars know farm locals, and farm builds. ;-)

I use a solo Warrior build quite often that requires a minimum investment in Swordsmanship as it relies more on Tactics-based skills.

Yet, the additional damage from at least meeting the requirement in the sword is nice...and wasting those extra attribute points when they could be invested elsewhere makes a req 7 worth a bunch more than a req 9 weapon.

Did we catch all the dupes? Perhaps not, but we know we removed a lot of them. We will likewise act on reports of this sort of thing as quickly and as thoroughly as we are able. It's important to you; it's important to us.

Two: We can't look at someone's account and say "Hey, he has lots of stuff = He must be a duper = We will ban him immediately!" We did a thorough investigation at the time of the incident and for some time afterward. As I said, we banned a number of people then, and we took a goodly number of armbraces out of the economy at that time. But to go in months later and indict someone because he/she has a nice inventory is like arresting someone because he passes through a city where a crime once took place.

Three: Sensational posts without at least some connection to truth are pointless. Yes, I know, forums thrive on just such threads. However, saying there is a dupe on Live, in the here-and-now, just doesn't do anyone any good unless it is true. We feel there is not a live dupe right now, but we're more than willing to look into the matter with any assistance whatsoever from the community. Find out details and report them to [email protected] if you think there's duping going on. Please don't wave the "there are lots of XX, therefore there is an active dupe" flag unless you're darned sure it's true!

Four: Sometimes, things drop in price for a perfectly natural reason: because they are more abundant. It's part of that whole "Supply and Demand" theory. As several have pointed out here, with some skills being very powerful, it only makes sense that players are more successful, meaning they're nabbing more prime items.
Gaile Take this Tormented Sword and...all the dupe items that were left in the game and shove it. see that for "we got most of the dupers"

Um, it's really not imbalancing PvP. At all. Because nobody uses 7/anything less than 14 in a weapon att. Ever. If you're referring to shields, the 8 armor doesn't make an entirely huge difference, and the number of people with the money to have perfect req7 shields is so small that it is not a problem...at all.
