Curse

Even if there was a way around the patch in order for the item to be useful it has to be used and seen. In order to sell it you have to advertise. Anytime Anet find one it *will* be removed regardles of if you payed 500k and were really really slick and smart for the thing. In fact, at this point, it wouldn't be beyond an account ban since it was more of a hack instead of simply taking advantage of a bug.

But, if greed takes you just look at the complaints on the SoA thread. If you find and buy one and the above happens - remember this thread.

I saw the same guy last night in TOA, and actually opened a trade with him. The axe he was selling was unmodded, but he claimed that "you can still do it". Typical scammer, no more, no less.

You can still mod it once to get +25 hp and a second grip, so it's still somewhat useful. However, since the new version is now HoD but attainable, it's worthless. Move on to the next item.

why should people get banned?? THE WHOLE THING WAS A-NETS FAULT.

Can anyone confirm this? I'm wondering if the 55HP axe is still possible by adding a +30 HP grip to the axe. If so, the axes still have some value.

and they are correcting their error.

by now anybody looking to find some way around the nerf is doing it to deliberately violate what Anet is doing.

there can be no possible claim of *WELL I DIDNT KNOW* in this case and is a violation of EULA/TOA which is banable.

THAT IS WHY THEY WILL BE BANNED IF THEY FIND A WAY AROUND IT
