Sad that because of a small group that could not keep it professional and had to spam all the discord chats, facebook page and lfms SSG is now taking action... anyways this is not something that concerns me too much as i already have a lot of accounts with boxes on them to continue the dupe store so this will not be the end for my store.

Sadly only scammers are "selling" boxes now. But if you do want to get scammed, I know a guy.

Just for the record, I bought ten stones from Dragonborn a few days back. Fair and civil trade which went smoothly

The devs clearly knew but they could ignore it in the past, now with the lfms, message on their facebook page and all the discord groups, quite hard to ignore. That's probably why they chose to act now is all i am saying lol

I'm seriously still shocked that SSG's actions.  People are duping,  quick shut down the ability for new players to join the game.  I mean seriously,  what the fuck.  That's just so fucked up.  Never thought I'd look back at the WB error and think, "at least Turbine had some common sense back then."


It makes sense to me as a first step. Stop the creation of new accounts until they can ban everyone that is duping/selling and eliminate the stashes of duped boxes.

But it isn't going to mean a damn thing if they don't fix the bugs that make duping possible, so there really isn't any point in what they're doing because you KNOW they aren't going to fix those bugs.

Yeah I thought the whole reason server transfers stayed down as long as they did was to fix the exploit. Seems clear SSG has no clue how to even reproduce it!

So they used stupid and not working solution for something that have easy solution.
They already have all the data they need for effective datamining.
Give any halfdecent programmer 3 days ... 1 week top and you have simple AI that can connect all the dots in realtime. Its fcking simple for any halfdecent programmer to mine out the information from data they already have.
But i think if they used THIS solution that means they dont even have halfdecent programmer.

Yeah the bans will be coming soon. Will be easy for SSG to determine what accounts have the illicit goods and destroy them and ban the accounts. Then put in place an AI that watches account for specific items that accumulate those items without first initiating a store purchase.  Even if the dupe method bug is not fixed it would be easy for the AI to delete the newly created items and then auto-ban the accounts.

It has been easy for SSG to do that for more than a decade now and they haven't done it yet.

And the one time that they did try to write a script to ban people, it fucked up royally and banned the wrong people.

That was because the db to gen the list was before an update and they ran the banning program after the update

You people have a pretty naïve view of exactly what constitutes "an AI". You're describing a simple set of if --> then --> else statements. By your definition the spell-check feature in Microsoft Word is an AI. So is a gravel sorting machine.

I used the term "AI" as a generalization. Yeah it's basically just an Active script constantly monitoring the acquisition and usage of boxes and experience stones that could have been contained in them.

Customers are buying VIP subs + store hearts to get the most out of their boxes, dupers are buying shitloads of points.

Long-term however it won't last. But that's just the thing: SSG is shortsighted.

So what is the story here? Is the dupe process widely known but only a few are trying it, or is it still under close guard and those with the know are trying to cash in?

From what I gather its pretty widely known at this point. You have at least 4 sellers on the boards here using it + dozens more spamming the gam + all the people using it and not trying to monetize it.

That being said I am frankly happier just buying my goods. The method sounds risky, but there's virtually no way to catch buyers.
