woot! It took me whole day to read 40 pages of this wonderfull thread...All I can say is... Wow, man. I need coffee.

Anet defiantly needs to address this ASAP.
If a rollback is necessary to fix this problem, then it needs to be done.

This site sucks so much. Its just a stupid forum and they can't even get a decent servers for that. This is so lame.

When did this become the "rag on Guru" thread? Don't like the high volume go somewhere else for your info.

Just FYI: We will not be doing a rollback. There is no need to do so. We banned a significant number of players involved in the exploit, and we're continuing to research to ascertain whether other bans will be necessary. But according to Mike O'Brien -- who oughta know

-- we won't need to do a rollback.

Yeah, and you paid so much for the ability to use this site. I clearly see why it was a rip off.

I would like to see some info from Anet (Gaile?) about what is being done to resolve this issue. Obviously, from people who have posted, there are bans being issued. What about the people not involve with high end sales of any kind? Will there be a reset, will items be removed, will potential 'non rare' items cause bans (lockpicks, etc.)? We would like some info about this so the speculation can stop.

EDIT: Thanks for making me look like an idiot for posting when you were Gaile

Nice to hear!

I am still amazed this has happened.

Thnx for letting us know gaile, but what about people who have armbraces via trades and never duped them or did anything wrong?

/Huge sigh of relief

I knew a rollback wouldn't happen, but it's great to get it straight from Anet.

Yeah? And who's gonna give me my 350k back that I spent to buy an armbrace from a scammer?

I, and many other legitimate high end traders are very turned off to the game because there are so many trades like this happening.

ANET FIX IT NOW BEFORE I SELL MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL!

Few things are going on, with no doubt....

EBAYER or DUPERS...

You make the call....
95 mil.. ebaying would be... im guessing 5 - 10 thousand dollars american.... i dont know exactly cause i dont deal with or go to any of the such sites...

Duping items seems the only logical option happening... i am thinking the only location that they are able to dupe items like this is... at the stone for armbrance dealer..

im guessing they offer, disconnect, accept, reconnect, and do it over again....

I am not saying to do this, i am not saying i want to or approve of it, i am just suggesting how they are doing it....

Many reasons, they are not duping anything but armbrances... from the way it looks... not like 1000 mini pandas, its 1000 armbrances....

POST YOUR THOUGHTS... if this lasts much longer i feel i will have to find a new game to play....

TO CLARIFY... i was in ascalon inter dist 1 spamming (selling kanaxi show me ur offers) and that was offered

To RE-CLARIFY - no way in world did i or do i have a mini kanaxi

To OVERLY CLARIFY - i didnt photoshop nothen.... if someone doesnt believe me, they they dont know me.... i have nothing to gain from anet smacken these ppl upside the head... alot...

Send this screenshot to ANET using the suppot's Ask a Question from http:/www.guildwars.com/

They can't remove all the Torment Weps/Armbraces because most people sold them already and because some people actually spent their time and money getting them.

They can't make them untradable seeing as most people sold them for a lot of cash.

I don't see any other choise A-Net has other than to Rollback.

What is the purpose of a rollback? TO BENEFIT THE GREATER GOOD

Well, when the rollback hurts more ppl than help, that means the rollback will hurt the greater good.

When that happens, rollback = fail.

Hott Bill · Aug 13, 2007, 08:54 PM // 20:54

All I have to say is Congrats to Anet for fixing the exploit.

Is it gone? Has it become unusable? If the answer is no to both then you werent scammed and you havent lost anything afaik.

AoT's were 100k+60e roughly lately, sounds to me like you paid a fair price.

Good question. Are armbraces now radioactive?

sindex · Aug 13, 2007, 08:57 PM // 20:57

My question is for the people who are selling these things now, and taking advantage the exploit (via buying and selling them). Are these individuals going to get banned?

Just a question, how many people have you banned so far? I'm curious to know how many people were in on this.

lyra_song · Aug 13, 2007, 09:06 PM // 21:06

if i was Anet, id freeze the guy who redeems the armbrace and go through and trace all items back to the sources. Sadly, massive item deletion is the only real solution.
