its a supposed hack. Its called an item duper. My friend tried it but gave him a virus. It was a keylogger I think. But another hack from the site was god mode(never die) and super speed.

it was a victos blade at first and than crappy stuff i picked up to see if he could copy them like a ongbow of fortitude and a battleaxe of enchantment
Savio
General Wise Guy scammed me. I can prove it.
^Why we don't allow it. It's fairly easy to accuse anyone of anything.
Did he actually give you the items or just show them?

I sure hope not, if true hacks ever come to GW without being stopped, I'm quiting.

anyway, never visit sites like that. as your friend experienced, most of the advertised "hacks" are harmful to you. you should try reporting it to anet to make sure that they are aware of the situation and will work to fix it. anet would never allow item dupes to exist for long.

is there anyay to get a log of ur guild wars conversations? or copy it all ... i couls show u the whole convo...

i remember in diablo 2 lod there was a so called item dupe when you install this program it makes the person who was dumn enough to install it his screen flash black and white and all sorts of colors and his items just dropped off his body..in GW cant drop items in town.. so beware if someone says come out and zone and trade and he tells you to install something.
look at the link up above.. accss denied.. ehh not trusting.

We can solo UW again!
I have heard about the speed thing before, it supposedly makes you super fast, so fast you can run any where is seconds also speeds up heath regen time, skill recharge time and weapon swinging/firing and re-swinging/re-firing times like berserker on steroids.

No no no, they have an NPC liscence. They can do whatever they want with one of those.
...and I swear that I'll find one of those someday.

In Droks last night merchanting salveaged goods() some idiot goes and posts that he got his account cleaned out(whatever that means) after registering and paying for Hax from 'GuildWarsGods'. His message was in the form of a 'warning' like he was doing the community a service, lol. It was immediatley followed by about 10-20 'Good', 'You got what you deserved', etc.. etc..
Funniest thing about 4 minutes later theres a WTB HOD sword(iirc, some uber item that costs lots of k), I almost fell out of my chair. Apparentley the ebay gold market is still alive and well.
People that get hacked, virussed, keylogged etc... get less than no sympathy from me.
Anet has gone to great lengths to keep GW free of this kind off bullshit, and IMO they have done a damn good job so far. Keep up the good work, and all of us report, report, report. I would like to play this game for another year or two without it being turned into the next DII(not gonna happen I hope).
I could care less that people can buy gold off ebay, I dont like it, but it does not affect my game. Hacks, cheats , and other manipulations of the game mechanics does affect my game, Anet knows this and has taken steps to prevent it from ever happening. Kudos to Anet for this, if you read thesse forums or the ones at GWO you will know I am not a 'FanBoi' of Anet, but I appreciate all they do on this front.

the OP may not be lying.. i have heard of a way to mirror items to other players. When you do it in the trade box.. u cant see the items u 'duped' and u dont get them but they see them as your offer. Thats just what a guild member said cos his brother supposedly can do it. If it is true dont be scared... it wont affect anyone. The full dupeing items is hard to believe.. but im a sucker for a good screen shot.

The idea of a graphical glitch that makes it look to another person like you duped something sounds pretty likely, considering the other kinds of graphical glitches that pop up here and there throughout the game.
Shadowfox1125
Well, this isn't much without screenshots..
But, the OP said a Victo's Blade and some other items, but can't the other person just have a VB too..?

I remember the Platinum dupe of EQ, man it went on for a long time too. Ruined the EQ economy too. And I also remember the dupe bug from EQ before the Bazaar. You could be trading items with another player and simultaniously logoff and one of you would have duped items in your inventory.
Know what gets all these people caught though? Bragging. People just can't keep their Jackie Gleason mouths shut and just gotta brag to a friend, who then uses it and brags to 10 friends, and they all use it and brag to the world and then they all get caught. laffin

well im pretty sure Anet is aware of this item duping problem (and "speed hacks" as almost all games have) and are doing everything that they can at the moment to put out a patch for it. Also we must realize guys that Anet is working much harder on fixing exploits (among other things) than most other teams (i wont name names 
) that i have encountered on other games. If you have any complaints im sure you could drop a PM to gaile on the forums or message her when she logs on in games to give updates and take comments. Overall im pleased with how Arena Net has been taking care of things.
Mandy Memory
I am sure Anet has a team who just sits around and googles "Guild Wars Hacks" (or something like it...and maybe not a team...and maybe not all the time)
Sir Skullcrasher
so this hax allowed the other user to copy the items you have in your trade window?
What good does that do?

that's the theory, i would think.
from what little i know about the subject, most "dupe" programs are really just account stealers and key loggers.

I think what people are saying now.. is that the person who dupes the item doesnt get it or see the item in his invent, he can just show it in the trade back.
If this is true, then this is harmless... Till its confirmed / Rumoured anyway.

It's possible, I suppose. I was trying to sell a Superior Absorption rune I got from a chest drop the other day in LA. I put up my WTS and a guy immediately pinged me, "let me see it." Sure, ok. Then he finds me at the fountain, but he's a Ranger... Rangers can't use the rune anyway, but maybe he has a Worrier toon also. So I put the rune in the trade window, and 5 seconds later he cancels and runs off without saying a word. I thought it was odd, since there's already a Rune Trader in LA anyway, if he wanted to just see what the thing looked like. When I read this thread, it got me wondering, though...

Is that consider a possible copy hax or just someone who window shopping. If its a copy hax, it would be harder for me or anyone out there opening a trade window if we don't know that the items would be duplicate by them.

Program = Artmoney.
Used to pull off trade scams in many MMORPGS, particularly ones with abilities to open private shop such as RO, MUO etc.
What it does is alter the appearance of an item onscreen. People trading with you see the altered item. However, once it is interacted with, the server updates and the real item is revealed.
Example : Artmoney user changes... an Ascalon Bow - Storm bow.
Unlucky buyer purchases said bow. Buyer equips bow to find out that it's an ascalon bow.
This doesn't work too well in GuildWars as you have to open trade window with a person and then change it in Artmoney as you have it in the trade window. The person on the other end sees the real item if they are in any way receiving packets from the server I.E moving around, using merchant etc.
That's my theory at least, but hey, who cares
