Closed Duplicated Item Removal
Comments
not really, duped items have only stolen money from the players that bought them because more often than not, a lot of items get sold and then recubed for better lines and if it didn't come with one, even given a neb, when the duped item gets deleted none of that investment is returned to the player that ended up with a duped item, which is a problem for people that shop for pre upgraded items. Even I can see that and I make/ upggrade all my own gear and never buy pre upgraded stuff.
I would be fine with the dupe removal if they could have provided some sort of return of investment made by the player that it was deleted from (maybe of just all the cubes and upgrading materials that the last owner put into it) as I agree a dupe removal is healthy, but considering how late they decided to remove them, there were considerably high amounts of player investment because they didnt know the item was duped, and so the players that had items removed should at least get back what they them selves invested in the item. I'm not saying that the meso (or $$ cause we all know there are some people complaining here that used PP or other services to get certain items *cough cough*frenzy*cough*) that they spent getting the item but if they payed for stars then they should get their meso back for the stars that player added to the item or they should get scrolls or spelltraces that they may have invested in scrolling that item after they got it.
And what have we learned? Don't give dollars to other players for items.
was playing well... and got dc. so now when started lauch goin download it.....! any help ?
Servers/channels are crashing = very high likelihood of duping. Also alot of no boom AEE showing up in bera's market. Are you going to be deleting these today or are you going to be deleting the items these have been used on 2 years from now 2 days prior to a double miracle time event?
Thanks for your time,
The gms community.
you can play like that on normal servers too, the thing is most people like the option of being able to buy good gears that are pre made (even though pre done gears have a higher chance of being a dupe), they also have the option of buying clean gears (less likely to be duped) and just doing all the upgrading them selves.
Buying items from legitimate players doesn't determine their source at all. That item could've been traded a dozen times before you bought it and unless the seller you get it from has a record of all the previous owners, the only source you have is the seller. This makes it just about impossible, not hard, for players to identify dupes. Whatever system Nexon uses to determine what items have been duplicated should extend to players as well; an indicator of some kind to permanently mark an item as being illicitly generated. This way more suitable consideration can be made before players take risks buying or upgrading expensive gear.
Think about this for a moment.
If an item could be marked as "duplicate" at the moment it came into being, it would not be allowed to come into being in the first place.
Hackers use bugs in the software to make items appear without the game noticing that they shouldn't.
When Nexon figures out what the bug was, they fix it, and then they scan the game logs to find all the times this bug was exploited, and track the items thus generated, and remove them.
There is, the heap is different I believe.
It is a bug that the server accepts those packets without checking.
As for why it took years - I'd like to know, too.

also i wonder (want know) like how people have so much meso to buy those duped items ( wich are not rly cheap) ?
like to make that much meso legitly am sure you must know the fm well right? and be well mercher ? or there is some other way ?
like people talk 200lvl weap/frenzy and other good items as joke
in my world those i heard goes atleast 200b~ and 300-400b for frenzy (+- less now as weeks goes people started kill legit but still not that cheap)
how someone mange to make that much without knowing the boss info/market state economy/chek the seller/squad /where the item comes from/ what event gives/ how rare/what needs be done to get ... etc etc ?
So i have been thinking of a better way for nexon to solve this problem. Since it took so long for action to be taken and as a company you should not want your innocent players to be punished i think there's a full proof way to prevent unfair actions for the future.
Since you are able to distinguish which item is duped and which isn't you should 'mark' those items as they are produced. That way legit players will know if an item is legit or not and if they still decide to buy that specific item they would have no right to complain if actions are taken.
Maybe something to think about?
Merching is the most ethical way to get rich, yes, however it requires an understanding of the economy and the prices items go for on the market. Too low and you'll get ripped, too high and no one will buy. There are a few illicit ways to do it as well but I don't think discussing them here would be appropriate lol.
