I think you know the answer to that. They have no way of taking laundered money out of the economy without affecting legit players. It’s irreversible unless they prove otherwise. So far they haven’t and it’s all just talk
So just blanket ban rich people for having and spending more money than you would. Great idea
not what im saying. consider reading posts fifteen times before responding since it clearly is difficult for you to comprehend anything at all.
What are you saying then?
on that note, you are just talk. and purely disruptive. be constructive, or go away.
You think they can snap their fingers and tell the duped shit from the real shit. That is fantasy movie magic. Turn the tv off. ENHANCE! ENHANCE!
bro, im not rewriting, reexplaining or rehashing for you. you have proven several times that would be a waste of time. instead, be a constructive human being and go read it again until you get it.
So even you don’t know what you’re saying. Good talk
no… i know exactly what im saying and ive taken fat dumps on everything youve said with easily readable and coherent points. you fail to take the time to comprehend them and immediately spout more nonsense. no more responses for you.
no clownshoes, the point of that was to demonstrate just how much raw currency was duped
i mean, thats not even up for debate. the amount of currency thats been duped is staggering im sure. i dont disagree with that at all, lol.
what are you the fun police, get a life
No they have NOT, it is taken out NOT reduced. You Can make a direct hit without any heal happens
If you wipe or rollback, you will most likely lose a majority of the population who busted their asses playing the game legit. Don’t do it. Don’t even consider it.
As someone in my guild suggested, a way to fix the problem is to introduce the newer tier of armor / weapons and items. Make all the crap people duped to get obsolete, because now we have access to better Tier 6 stuff. If big damage number and health bars scare you, just scale everything back a bit. Make ilvl 550 the current max, and make the new Tier 6 stuff ilvl 600.
This is a shit show. No way they can track all the players abusing the exploits and laundering the golds. Also, ppl can just dupe items and lvl their skills to 200. I doubt they can track that kind of activity.
I spent so many hours to lvl my jc, and now a cheater can do it in few mins. I have 0 faith they can resolve the issue. The game will probably survive, but a lot of cheaters will stay undetected and its just not fair. Im out, gonna play something else.

Some differents bugs for Fire Staff:
- Incinerate deal no damage
- Pillar deal no damage
- Burn out deal no damage
- Auto use pillar on either when we play with rune
- Ghost fire ball
- mastery of 5% mana recovery give more than 5%
Now on Ice Gauntlet:
- Blizzard deal no damage
- Mastery to root people on blizzard or freeze do not root
- When we’re in our blizzard, another Ice Gauntlet can root us (Blizzard debuff active on us)
- Big spike on Ice spike spell do not proc if the little pikes touch something
- Frozen wall don’t root people and can root us …
- No regen mana after 3 succesfull hits if we take the mastery
Probably other problems but these mainly make his weapons no-playable
well now New World needs more PR now.
Do you really think they’d do that? I mean, it’s probably technically possible, but I don’t think they’d go through that much work. I think the best they’ll do is ban the people who used the glitch itself more than 2-3 times (some might have used it unknowningly), but I don’t think they’ll ban the people who benefitted from it, like the whole companies’ worth of players that nowadays run in full voidbent sets crafted with duplicated materials. They were most probably just given their sets by one or two other people in the company who executed the duplications.
The best thing would indeed to do as you said:
- Fix the bugs so there can be no more duplication.
- Ban the obvious exploiters.
- Slowly and carefully investigate and also ban or suspend those who benefitted off it (by receiving items or buying off the TP - some did that just to avoid a ban).
- Revert the situation on an individual basis: take the items away and give back the legitimate gold paid for them.
That would be the perfect solution to the problem. The economy would be reverted back to its completely legitimate state and no wipe would be necessary.
However I’m afraid that’s not possible in practice. Duplication glitches have been exploited since launch and are only coming up now because they became widespread. They said “a few players” exploited the glitch and that might be true concerning direct exploitation, but many, many, many more people benefited off it (thus exploited the glitch indirectly IMO).
My server has one company who owns half of the map. The day the exploit came out I logged in and saw hordes of them wandering around Everfall and Windsward, all in full voidbent sets. I’ve yet to see one that’s not wearing full voidbent gear. It’s absurd. I hope they eventually get banned and/or have their duplicated gear removed from them. If they stay and get to keep their gear, New World will just stop being fun to me.
New gear tier will not be enough, you also have to devalue money since the exploiters got rich. And you also have to speed up leveling crafting to 200 and set a new tier at 300 since they powerlevel up their profession using gold from duplication items.
Yeah, basically, you have to reset everything…
So just make a wipe, one month is nothing in the spanlife of a mmo.
If you can’t resolve yourself to do that, you can just spin up a couple of new server that will not have transfer active outside of their pool until the next xpac.
Fact is, banwave or not, servers are screw, you will not be able to undo the damage of those who exploit these bugs, especially if they carefully do laundering their money.
For example, selling crafted gear from their main, and buying from their alt full of gold from duplication, the gear sold by their main at the price they would sell if they had interesting perks. So from their main account it mix legit and non legit transactions at similar price that can’t be detected unless carefully lookings at the perks of the items sold.
@Kev
While it will not impact those you use full separate steam account for cheating, will you investigate to ban those who used steam family sharing for free licence of the game for laundering money ? While not perfect, it would be effective.
If you catch someone cheating, will you check from steam the “ownersteamid” and ban all accounts using the same game licence ?
I would very much like official comment about what you will do with steam family sharing that have been massively used by cheaters and bots to get free accounts and do their dirty deeds without involving their main account
And i expect ban from one family accounts will be replicated to all accounts from the same ownersteamid, that’s actually not the case and that need to be changed ASAP.
(And if you are willing to do the actual work, it would be best if done before reactivate items transfer, to prevent goods and gold moved to new steam accounts before the banhammer hit)
HA HA the economy will never recover from this and I’m here for it.
That’s what you get AGS for being so naive and refusing to learn from the plethora of MMO’s that came before you. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall!
