Dont worry - they get a 24 hour ban - everything is fine XD

In the past they’ve gone from 1 week bans to permanent bans.
Not the point.Fresh servers on the way and dupes/exploits STILL being found.Are they trying to repeat launch? You think they are doing a good job dealing with it i don’t.I’ve seen how they handled cheaters.Its a slap at best.IP/hardware ban people.It’s a quick google search for a cheap account.

They have done a good job till now.
Think you are way to hard on the Devs regarding this. The ones that you should blame are the players that greedily abused this dupe without any discretion.
Nope.I’ve watched this same thing happen for an entire year.Make it hurt or it won’t stop.
How is that not the point? First of all, we know literally nothing about the glitch, it could be something super bad or just a precaution to take down trading. Literally every MMO I’ve ever played has had dupe issues and the recent dupes were dealt with pretty quickly.
And yes, I do think they are doing a pretty good job with stopping dupes. Permanently banning an account is a pretty severe punishment.
Please tell me what dupe glitch lasted for a year?
This is called whataboutism.what about this game…that game.No thanks i know that game already.
Sure. Let’s go back to this.
What dupe lasted a year?
Damn. Here we are again. Just like last year. Sadge.
Of course i blame these sucker players! Last big dupe exploit, couple of months ago, a lot of players in a company i played for, duped the shit out of this game - all of these pigs got 24 - 48 hour temp ban and laughed about it on dc - so i blame the devs for it aswell ^^. I wish they would do hardware or ip bans but ill predict this will never happen…

ugh…really? You know thats not what was ment.The slaps on wrists that i watched cheaters get over the year since launch.Watching these people buy new accounts and play like nothing ever happened.Multiple times.This saying has been around a while since launch so I’m sure u know it already.
Cheat early,cheat often.I wounder why we say that around here? Harsh punishments or no trust.
We as players can only speculate. But for each dupe that got fixed it gets one step better. Also we can only belive and hope they are quick to come with solution and bans.
This.This times 1000.If your not in the Discords they use you won’t know how easy people got off.How they got to keep their dupes ect by transfering it to others or using work arounds like “family share”.Watching people laugh about it and come back scott free with duped loot.
IP/hardware ban them ags.Don’t repeat what just happened less than a year ago.

Thanks. Please do look into IP/HW bans if you have that option. Just if you did this with a few the message would spread life fire in dry grass and this would make em think twice before trying something like this.

Great! I’ve heard stories in the past of dupers getting short bans, and when they got their account back, all of their duped items were still in their inventory, free for them to use.
I don’t have proof, just hearing a couple first hand and second hand accounts. Please ensure situations like this never occur in the future (if they’ve in fact occurred in the past.)
I imagine that intent could be measured easy enough by looking at whether they repeated the action.
If something happens once off, it can easily be the unintended result of a game bug. Which lets be honest, dupes after updates are a result of a game bug caused. When the action is being repeated by the same user then there’s obvious intent.
I find the whole thing really frustrating, and blame AGS more than anyone for it. I stopped playing a year ago because I was sick of after every weekly update their being a new game breaking bug and/or dupe and all trading being disabled, wars becoming unplayable again etc. I came back because I was told they had sorted their shit out and the game was better, which while I admit it is better its still pretty annoying that first update since I came back the exact same thing that made me stop playing a year ago is happening.

i dunno about you but I would report it pretty quick if I accidently duped items. the harsh stance on duping is exactly why people would report it.
the last dupes were pretty extensive since they were happening for a long time which made it hard to track everything. they seem to have implemented new systems to catch it early these days which will no doubt make removing affected items alot easier.
Actually, it’s pretty simple to tell who did it on purpose and who didn’t. The player that did it once quite likely was just doing their crafting, whereas the player who did it multiple times was quite likely exploiting. Banning someone for playing the game is overly harsh and unjust.
