Unlegit gear appearing

I have to start a thread about this because ive noticed some serious and obvious exploiting/duping going on... Not gonna say who or wut server is doing it but I sold UD gear to this person and that gear became Overdura and ended up being t8 with orange remains stats. I guess its possible for that gear to become t8d but I AM 100% sure that somehow the 87/87 dura piece of gear i sold him became 114/114 dura.

ever thought of that someone who does tier8 to his gear pieces also has enough money/gold to buy an overdura item?

people buy UD gear all the time for setskills, other people with less money (and connections)... etc.

If it was just linked, it could be a 'dummy' from item preview

Yeah what Yoman said. Sometimes, I'll buy a UD piece, see an OD piece for sale, and buy the OD as well, then see the UD to someone else or guildie. And if that could dupe it, why do they need to buy it in the first place lol.

I think your fellow players are right, there can be a totally fine explanation for that. However, if you are totally convinced that there is foul play involved, please report the issue and player to our support staff via support portal and they will investigate.

Is it possible to put a loot rune in a shield? How about more then one loot rune in one item? Well someone on Artemis has a SHIELD with FOUR Loot X runes in it. Last i remember only loot III have been sold so don't know how they have X. Please tell me how that is even possible without some sort of gear modifying hack going around.

Again, blotoe, please report the player with charname/server to our support, so we can investigate this. Here on forums we can not do that, we do not have access to the needed tools, and for documentation purposes it needs to be reported via support ticket in our support portal. :)

To reiterate what Dionaea said above - if you find things that you believe are not legitimate (and something like this would definitely not be legitimate), please report it via support ticket and include the player name and server that this was observed on.

You can use the Contact Support link in my signature to send in a ticket.

The Support system is the only place for reports such as this, however, as naming players in the forums is against the forum rules.

There are reasonable explanations but...

I've seen screenshots of gear on other servers that are...suspicious, to say the least. As in, certain gear mods, that can't be on certain types of gear, but legit means.

I've seen an influx of runes on Reni. Recons, burst, miracle, etc, that are rare in the item shop - and they're selling for cheap too. By the same names, all at really low prices, in the AH. Sure, its possible some player had a surplus stored from before but...most of the rich are gone, there are very few left. I can think of maybe 2 or 3 toons that have a billion+ gold, and none of them, to my knowledge, have a storage of those runes.

Idk, I think theres something fishy going on, I do think people found a way to dupe and/or edit their gear. I don't have any physical evidence, but...idk. I've been playing this game long enough, and have seen the effects of such exploits to get a general feeling of when its happening.

was it a link or did you view it personally?

I saw it while inspecting his/her gear as I randomly do to see how people gear/stat.

Just wanted to point out that you can make a Loot rune X by buying a whole bucket load of III's and merging them in the AT, its VERY pricey but has been done a number of times on the AU servers. I personally have a Loot IV that i made.
You can do this with every rune though, so not sure if you have just never done it or didn't know. Obviously 4 of the same rune on any piece of gear is fishy, but a Loot X itself is not :D

Which would take 78,125 loot 3's to get a loot 10 if I did it correctly. Even if loot 3 costed 1 diamond, thats around $1300 dollars per loot X, @ double diamonds.

You do realise that making a Loot X requires a metric load of dias right? Assuming Loot II is on sale at 49 dias each it will take around 19 million dias to make a Loot X.....dunno about you, but I dont have 600 grand to waste.

yes yes it's a metric fudge ton of runes to make one, all i am saying is that it is possible. Unlikely sure, but still possible :P

Just like a t18 weapon is possible? :P

You say there are Loot Xs in AU?

That's the cost of a very expensive car, or a cheap house.

Smells fishy to me

Loot X without atleast Vs or VIs as base IS fishy, period.

and it's not like RoM did not have a duping problem back in summer ... and it was a RUNE duping problem.

Coincidence ftw!
