Had some guy say he is paying 800 armbraces for mini kanax and 250 for mini panda.

I hate to say it but if ANET cannot find a way of getting rid of said exploit then they can devalue the items simply by changeling the trade value of the item.

One of each Gem for one armband? Just a suggestion

Has it occurred to anyone that there are BOTs (People) farming DOA in the Korean or other Districts for companies. Can anyone verify if that might be happening?

this sucks for some of us who "worked" hard to get a tormented weap

OOshadeOO · Aug 13, 2007, 01:34 AM // 01:34

no way you can bot DOA imo the zoning locations are all random and even using the ; key to target the zoning sign doesnt work cus there are so many of them they wont get a accurate zone

Bots couldn't farm DoA. The mobs are just too dangerous, they need a human touch to avoid certain things. In Gloom you could get away with a bot just using the E/A Shadow Form build but the rate of gain of gems would be pathetic. Foundry the mobs spawn in different places which makes it very tricky to automate. Stygian Gems aren't even worth farming, neither are the Margonite gems. Plus you'd have to get these bots through the entire campaign to unlock DoA whereas Hard Mode farming just requires 1 char on that account to have completed it.

I really dont know how anet will get this solved.:O

sindex · Aug 13, 2007, 01:56 AM // 01:56

I really wanted one of those things, but seeing this I think I will hold off till after the investigation. Someone stated this has been going on for a week now? What if it had something to do with the crash? If it’s true that something got hacked though, I wonder what else did.

thing is this wont effect only the prices of armbraces. people alredy selling their armbraces willing to pay high ammounts for items that are usualy cheap, soon most rare items would be unatainable by the normal players who didnt trade their minis for 1750 armbraces so the high end market would be more towards the select few. also me and gladius were talking yesterday and we were questioning the fact of controlling the mini pet market. in the end if these "dupers" or w/e they are get all the rare and limited pets they can eventualy ask watever they want for them and if there is a recall on all these armbraces they will still make a fortune unless the minipets can be tracked to accounts somehow.

you umm wanna pick up a torment axe or shield for me >_________________<

I mean you cant sell alllll those right?

They've shown they can change items in people inventories, because they changed the Rockmoulder, HoD bow and axe, etc, even in peoples inventories. They've shown they can stop items from being traded - they do it to pre order weapons. If they really took this seriously, they could make armbraces untradeable until they figure out what's going on.

This would also have the benefit of helping them find out what is going on. If you couldn't trade the armbraces with people, and these were duped items, those people would likely trade them for a lot of tormented weapons, so they could trade and make some gold. If there is no huge influx of tormented weapons, it's likely a GUI bug.

Well its merely speculation on a forum at the moment, and more to the point its been brought up on a weekend and its come to a head on Sunday night. I mean it goes beyond all logic that a person could actually have 1750 without some sort of hack/dupe... So far we've only had 2 posts from Gaile... hopefully we'll get a little feedback tomorrow so we know what they're actually doing about it, because as shade was saying, if 1 person ends up controlling all the rare mini-pets in the game they'll completely screw up the market, and they might not stop there...

korcan · Aug 13, 2007, 02:52 AM // 02:52

how about anet just add some more of the limited minis to the game? not in massive quantities but enough to satisfy the market for them in high-end.

Kendar Muert · Aug 13, 2007, 02:54 AM // 02:54

Gaile- I was talking to a friend on teamspeak the other day who said that when gw first opened, there was a bug that allowed you to multiply the amount of items in your inventory. I was wondering if this is true, and if this may have come back, because, if so, it could mean hell for the in game economy.

I’m sorry I could not help myself. Anyways well this screw with my chances of getting one, till this whole things get cleared up. Yeah I can only hope for some type of update on the situation.

Enko · Aug 13, 2007, 03:05 AM // 03:05

well i got both a panda and kanaxai so i'll do some researching tonight to see how many people try to offer 1750 armbraces for them. i'll be sure to take screenshots and all
