Ok here's my 100th Mr.Smartass... i'll try to be polite and in simple english for 2 reasons . a) i can't use more advanced due to my limitations as it's not my mother-language as we call it b) so that you can understand without been able to provide some kind of semi-serious troll.

You claim that duping is p2win and that it is destroying in one way or another the game.
Random exploit when level cap was 16 dear funboy...Harry was getting stuck, non-responsive and u could EASILY complete the quest and acquire materials for said greensteel. Items that even sooo many years later are considered still good enough to be used as leveling tools on heroics and even on epics.. Way more game-breaking than duping fucking tornado bottles. You will need 3 backpacks to kill damn harry on elite with those.
Continuing, let's take the duped ingredients/collectables/cookies etc etc, whatever u can dupe. Turdbine offers w/o a grain of logic behind it, Overwhelmingly strong materials without a safelock...i am talking about cards. You can create a level 1 toon and even by leveling to 4 - be absolutely legit- u can have free cards. Via Transfers on other servers i was able to acquire like that hundreds of cards,i was getting 100 per day while the event was going on, i had no reason to dupe the fucks, apart from cards like 9+10, also from legit buying from other players i was able to increase my stack of cards daily by the dozens. Thus having access to 50% pots, tornadoes, sup.mnemonic pots etc. Now if u go and dupe 100 of number 10s for example and make 50 huge bags for ur alts is that the game breaking? Cause u have moooar space for crap to loot?... If i have let's say 5000 of each GS /Alchemical ingredient....will i disturb the for..balance i mean? Hardly in my eyes.
If i dupe all fucking collectables in the game...like 1000 skulls, or the "valuables" eberron dragonshards, oh oops, i already have 50% pots..so 20% are a joke to mention.then..shrines! AHA!, oh cards offered that already...then... Trinket for sp!!! oh ..cards have better..then..Trinkets for CSW!!!!.....get a life. Maybe the alchemical ritual ones? Fuck off, AH is full'o those and platinum these days has the same value as rocks, no i mean long before duping could make it lose even more of its value.
Cookies aha! now i have unlimited blur..oh wands..last longer...Fireshield..but ..have clickies,pots,scrolls...then the unique ONE Minute LONG, rage of the 1000 ants or bears..+4 con..or the profane bonus one..oh can't cast coccoon..dying..dead..nice, fuck off... Ok then, cookies, collectables is meh, and some ingredients also..but new raid stuff!!! Oh people already in Mother forums are flaming about the 0.0000001 drop rates...So u acquired faster the said item than dev's were intented...like 2 years earlier...now u can enjoy the game...oh also find out the bugs the new system had - neg levels on bosses , rememeber?-...
What else did you dupe that changed the balance...wtf did we had any kind of balance before to start with?.....oh unlimited sigil/shield/tapestries..../clap /clap /clap ...
Unlimited augments! Now that was a serious one, u had 1 person buy it from store and then mass produce for the server to have for free... Yeah but u lost the right to claim ur uberness for been the 1st,2nd ...5th ...2000th to have a meridian fragment/golem's heart..oh there was 1 in AH already..or in a guildies backpack....
Unlimited tomes +3 stat/+4 skill...that's bad...u can have +4 swim and listen for all ur toons...noooooo ur barb will become overpowered now....
I still believe although i loved at 1st the idea of the cards, that it was too much too give for free.There should be some limitations...when u could collect EVERYTHING that can be duped by the hundreds in a legit way...just needed to be dedicative on what u r doin.....i fail to see that duping is either pay to win, or affects ur playing hours, playing style, playing partners etc. IDIOCY on the other hand affects everything above...if u run on an idiot that he is doing shits he deserves to get banned...do that with ur buddies who are similar minded..do not be a dick and play tornado-holic...
All in all, dupe = p2w...hardly..if u know how to play u have nothing to gain from that shit..it's just Convenient to save hours of mindless grind...yes it is p2-not-grind..that it is. People were able to survive up till now w/o those...those who rely on said items...are trying too hard on an out of limits area - e.e. quests, e.h. quests,raids , bank toons that should stay at marketplace at best etc-. I am lucky enough to not have seen one of those idiots in any of my pugs, but i would laugh my ass if i saw one...just sit back let em have their fun and if u disagree with their plain stupidity roll on on another stupig filthy pick up group. Do not try to be even more stupid than them and have YOUR way on them...
Enjoy ur day
