How do I know that someone wasn't just playing a joke? Show me images of the item in the thousands, otherwise I'm forced to believe this is just like the old Terror Shield hoax. Especially considering that there were never any confirmed reports of duping or hacking, anet would have made a statement otherwise.

1000*70*4500 = 315,000,000

Since Pandas aren't worth that much, I'd have to assume it's a mistype or joke.

EDIT: That picture from the other thread means they're probably using the old Dark Remains->Ecto trick. :\

Here's an actual in game screenshot from a poster in another thread http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...18&postcount=1

If Anet could stay on top of everything, this game would be flawless if not, perfect. It is likely a quest exploit of some sort. May even be that the chests give more gems then they're supposed to (I haven't done DoA in ages).

If Anet confirm it exists before it's fixed then everyone will be on the "free when you give creditcard details" exploit forum sites
If it exists :
Fix it
Then say it existed

If not someones got no life or lots of cash to blow

Maybe its a scam from a bug? Remember the bug where it looked like someone was trading you a stack of ectos but it was really 1 (or whatever the numbers were)?

Maybe its happening with these things?

Or some other item that looks like them.

i remember that one. but that bug occured after the trade was altered. someone needs to confirm this by doing a trade or by anet "confirming" this.

i'll be a test subjet if you want to hand me 5 armbraces

Diddy bow · Aug 12, 2007, 10:43 PM // 22:43

stacks of armbraces cant be possible can it? im sure there is some dirty buisness here...

max gladius · Aug 12, 2007, 10:54 PM // 22:54

for those who havent seen my thread on this very serious topic

undeadgun · Aug 12, 2007, 10:57 PM // 22:57

thx Max, i think all we can do now is sit and wait............. WEAK UP ANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lord Feathers · Aug 12, 2007, 10:58 PM // 22:58

Well rampant hacks running wild will quickly kill A LOT of their player base.

GloryFox · Aug 12, 2007, 10:59 PM // 22:59

No way possible its a dupe of some kind or a masking of some kind. I'm wondering if is possible to change the skin and therefore item name to make it appear as something else? Like Iron Ingots, then make them appear as Armbands? Kind of like how some people hacked GW.dat and made characters with the new armor skins? Or some people make new skins for their pets or weapons. Kind of like screen mods but something you can show other people in game through the trade screen?

Just a thought...

We need Fred, Velma, Daffney, Shaggy, and Scooby on the case!

Net Flanders · Aug 12, 2007, 11:02 PM // 23:02

plz all:
write serious emails to anet

my complete guild sent mails ... hope they fixx it !! :/

Neo Nugget · Aug 12, 2007, 11:04 PM // 23:04

Has anyone actually accepted the trade offer? To check if the armbraces are real?

Shanaeri Rynale · Aug 12, 2007, 11:04 PM // 23:04

Apparently a few people have bought a couple to see if they are real, they are(well the ones they bought were).

There's too many people doing it to be hoax atm imho.

Rips the mask off the Phantom Duper..

manitoba1073 · Aug 12, 2007, 11:04 PM // 23:04

Come on guys dont you know according to the devs those are impossibe.

I mean you cant even find anything on google or msn search for anything on dupes cheats or hacks.

see

http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q...&go=&form=QBRE

http://www.google.com/searchhl=en&q=...=Google+Search

OK now the sarcasism is done with. Yes there most likely is something going on. Now just to find out what it is lol

HMM you forgot the meddling mutt too.

arcanemacabre · Aug 12, 2007, 11:06 PM // 23:06

If I had to guess, it would be this bug:

Trading Bug - Stacked items - potential for scam

Just noticed, that bug works in reverse (shows one item, but value for a stack). May be another bug recently introduced that's similar, though.

makosi · Aug 12, 2007, 11:10 PM // 23:10

People are selling Tormented items quite cheaply at the moment. I was tempted to buy daggers for 100k+30 ectos there and then but I can't really trust people right now. With so many armbraces around the value of Tormented weapons will plummet if those with stacks of them are parting with their armbraces (by selling or as parts of trades).
