After selling a bunch of high level augments on the ASAH and AH my augment bag went missing. I thought I just had misplaced it somewhere after an epic TR but I didn’t find it anywhere. I emptied the TR cache, checked the buyback and looked into my mailbox. Didn’t mind it because I have a full augment bag on every toon. But after selling more augments more augment bags went missing and now I am sure: When I post a bunch of identical augments the bag with the stack is missing the next time I log on. Other bags, even other augments bags are not affected.
Guess there is a method to identify (store?) items that had been duped and posted on the ASAH. And apparently they can track the rest of the stack too, at least in the inventory of the toon that posted the augments. Didn’t happen with other items (LDS/scales/ingots) and I have bags with 100 stacks of augments left, but those are for self-use or donating to guildies now I guess. 100 stacks of raid timers, SP potions, XP-pots and loot gems are still in my inventories, so I guess it’s not a someone logging in in person as I would see that in my guild history too, right?
As it did not happen to my mule I used to sell augments now and then it may have something to do with the numbers of augments sold. (Made 2k shards on my main). And I AM on their watch list I guess, because I got an item exploit related ban some time ago. Yes, I am kind of careless, guess that’s because I don’t care for DDO much at all.
My only comment is that it is very unlike Turdbine to be this surgical about punitive measures. Normally, if they suspect you of ill deeds, they cleanse your inventory.
Sev alluded to new measures being implemented server side.
It could be possible that if you put them through a system like mail or ASAH, that they have a script that checks the provenance of goods.
It strikes me as an automated response because otherwise they would have seen your other illicit goods in inventory.
Interesting move if true, but you that it will come back to bite them in the ass when it starts adversely affecting the greater population.
