How would that be fair to a poor newby that just went from lvl10 to 15 in the time they investigated what the issue was?
Most of the duping was people who saw something double when they copied it and they did it again, then on a butter item and made higher numbers, then listed in on the TP… I don’t feel bad for them in the slightest… They are the ones who deserve punishment and not everyone else.
This literally happened if you put fill up your potions/food/honingstons via drag and drop or buy them from the AH or get a buy order filled. You don’t know how this dupe works.
AGS is not capable with this system of algorithm/automation/outsourcing to actually differentiate who dupped and handed off to there 2nd account. Or sold the dupped items on the open market to unknowing accessories to the exploit.
WOW or any other big name MMO, sure they would follow the item and handle approximately. AGS is not capable of doing that. They should except that fact, roll back to pre-dupe patch, fix issue, relaunch.
@Mr.Fixit Absolutely! Like you said, just some up front communication about the bans and what was done would have helped and anyone that gets banned should know exactly why they got banned.
