There is nothing wrong with reporting someone who say: -

Offers 250 Armbraces for a mini pet worth 1000 ecto

Or

Offers 1750 Ecto for a mini pet worth only a few hundred ecto.

Innocent people would do neither of the above. And I have witnessed such rediculous offers when I briefly popped in Ascalon ID1 today.

Obviously they must be innocent and we are the evil pitch fork wielding mob.

Even if this thread gets closed we will continue with reporting people.

Screw letting the GW community know that there are still people in-game who they have missed. Screw letting them know that there is still a problem. Hey, lets just let everyone think everything is fine and there is no problem with Guild Wars. Screw reporting the people with post searing items in pre searing which have popped up again as they must be innocent... If someone is guilty of breaking the eula or is suspected of breaking it there is nothing wrong with reporting them to Anet and letting them judge whether they broke the eula or not. OMFG reporting people that is soooo wrong !!!!! -_-

No, there is nothing wrong with reporting people who are offering 800 armbraces for an oni. There is a problem with a bully brigade, don't let it get out of hand.

One thing to keep in mind, you really don't need to advertise what you're doing. By publicly declaring that you're going to purge guildwars of evil you set yourselves up to look really bad.

Then why post?

From what I've heard from various "CCB" supporters (why does that acronym keep making me think of KBG?), the society is elitist and doesn't want anyone else in the society that doesn't already know about it.

Therefore, wouldn't this thread itself be troll bait?

and did you open trade with them all briefly? (@Herbalizer)
I can say i duped all day...that doesn't mean i did.

and if you did, do you realize that may be considered "stalking"? (because you never had intentions of trading, all you wanted was a screen, and a name..)

I see no class 6 security clearance on any of the 'bumped-tax-bracket' high end collectors.

Starting a trade with someone you know will put 8 gold into the trade window instead of the 8k promised for the purpose of taking a screenshot and reporting them but with no intention of completing the trade would be stalking too?

undeadgun · Aug 15, 2007, 02:01 AM // 02:01

k, ppl who here think that this is total bull, i want to ask you guys 1 simple question:If u know a guy that has stacks of stacks of armbraces, and he is still playing, wud would u do?
so if u dont know anything bout the "armbraces brotherhood" plz stop saying Max and few others need a life, they have a life, and they are doing wud a GW player suppose to do.

AngeloM3 · Aug 15, 2007, 02:04 AM // 02:04

well i'm in.....

but Max... are you still doing this since this thread has got WAY off topic!
I thought we were just suppose to say we're in... not have another friggin discussion thread about this whole duping b.s.

also it doesnt stop at armbraces or ectos. i've seen people trying to sell stacks of elite tomes for 5k-10k... stacks of runes... stacks of gems etc....

gone · Aug 15, 2007, 02:05 AM // 02:05

we're not talkin about a flat out scam...with a slight of hand trick Herb.

Undead, I think i saw a pic of you with 143 braces in your inventory.
that looks fishy to me. High end trader or not...Gifts from guildies or not..

max gladius · Aug 15, 2007, 02:07 AM // 02:07

Angelo, this isnt just another duping thread, ty for clearifying that, this is an attempt to not only 1 bring the justice to the few im talking of, but to also spread awareness...

As in, people see something that seems odd... screen shot FTW... and report it....

Waste of time, waste of effort, and is more harmful than helpful.

did u read wud i said with the pic? 134 from guilde(who sold Kanaxia and Beetle) 9 from myself, and the reason i post the pic is to prove that those are legit, can be in your inventory, and i know ppl will think bout it, and i think i am been scanned of course, but, as i said in other thread: u didnt dupe u wont get ban, u did nothing wrong u wont get ban

There is a difference between a neighborhood watch and an extreme version of a Joseph McCarthy organization. I hope you don’t go power hungry, otherwise you’re pretty much in the clear. I just still think it’s a waste of time before your next catch; and that’s my own personal opinion.

Because that is sure spreading the awareness. There isn't anything wrong with taking screenshots of offenses when you see them. But your "veil of secrecy" makes it sound more like the witch hunt you claim it isn't. Just explain exactly what this is about and people might be a tad more receptive. All five pages of "its the dupers were after" "where's the proof" "trade spam" "yada yada yada yada" could of all be avoided by simply posting that in your original post.

Yes they deserve to be banned. Yes if you see them spamming obvious things and feel its worth your time, report them. No you shouldn't try to keep it in the dark and only invite people who aren't "confused or don't know what this is about".

Which, by the way, is legal under many circumstances in quite a large number of countries. U.S. antitrust laws strike most nations as quaint at best and nonsensical at worst. There are no laws against such behavior in this game; as a result, such players are free to trade information regarding actual market prices, etc. Further, there's nothing immoral about it.

There's nothing inherently evil about networking and anti-competitive practices; you've merely been raised to believe that they are because of the culture in which you live. There are circumstances under which such practices are unambiguously positive, and there are those under which such practices create unsavory rents.

There's nothing wrong with what these people are trying to do. They're networking to see if additional evidence exists with which to impugn players they believe/know to be guilty of violating the EULA, and they're asking that those that spend a lot of time in town keep an eye out for the sort of evidence that first surfaced a month ago indicating that something might be up. Nothing negative should be expected of such an effort.

seeing more than 100+ in your inventory is a pretty 'crazy amount'...isn't it..
LoL.

of course it looks crazy amount, but it is evidence to prove they are in someones inventory, not just use a window trick to scam. i know ppl will talk bout it and i know ppl will think, but why i am still playing? Anet knows, and other friend knows

Achilles Antony · Aug 15, 2007, 02:54 AM // 02:54

I dunno, I kinda think this is a good idea. It's just people keeping their eyes open for anything strange, it's not a lynch mob. I'm in.

Just a voice of reason, and a kindly reminder. Those are open forums, not your private property, and as long as user is posting according to GURU rules, you have no rights to chase them off. In fact, this puts you all in quite a bad light "if you don't agree with CCB, stfu". I don't like that kind of bully tactics.
