This is getting so sad. Within the past few weeks I have seen rare pets being offered for a ridiculous amount of armbraces. I seriously don't know where these are coming from but its skewing the market. It seems like if a legit player wants to buy an extremely rare pet, he/she has to offer stacks of armbraces now. Seriously whats going on here?

I only say this:
DUPE!

Nothing other! Its IMPOSSIBLE to have 1750 (!!!!!!!) armbraces, thats over 50000 ecto!!

sure not ebay, there are 100k like 10$ or so ..

Something really is going on...

This is not good.

Hmmm...

Now, has anyone seen this many in a trade window?

Won't be hackers. Everything is server side. NCsoft/Anet would detect these people.

Wow if they went eBay or a gold site for that much they must be Richard Branson as thats massive amounts of money
No idea but i've seen insane screens lately too
Anyone more up on prices know the GW gold amount for that many braces?

LumpOfCole · Aug 12, 2007, 09:43 PM // 21:43

There is some mischief going on for the amount of rare items to flood the market so quickly.

1000 armbraces at around 70e/each and ecto prices to be 4.5k/each would be 315 million plat.

Didn't they just make it easier on Normal Mode? Think that could flood the market?
I rarely go DoA so no idea if that would have effect at all

WOW and i had to borrow off guild leader for my last 2 15k pieces when some people have that much

Wow. I could understand if it was just one person with more money than sense, but if this is fairly widespread then there's definitely something fishy going on. Maybe not a duping exploit as such, but some kind of exploit. Maybe some kind of gemstone exploit with the Mallyx the Unyielding quest. Any word on how long this has been going on?

o m g pizowned · Aug 12, 2007, 09:57 PM // 21:57

no it can't flood it with over 2000 armbraces

I think just now people have started to notice this.

undeadgun · Aug 12, 2007, 09:58 PM // 21:58

this has been going on for almost a month or so, maybe more. remeber the 1st kanaxia mate sold for 100k+1500e +80arms, i think that's where it started at, GG anet u guys /FAIL

MithranArkanere · Aug 12, 2007, 10:02 PM // 22:02

Even if one thousand bots focused on farming gold and then giving it all to a single account, it could take quite a time to make so many armbraces, since you'll have to buy them from other players...

I doubt such figures being possible for a normal player ever playing 6 hours a day since Anguish came out.

warren_kn · Aug 12, 2007, 10:02 PM // 22:02

Whatever has happened it has spread. I've seen armbraces being offered for ectos, dyes, weapons....

However the price of Gems has stayed the same. If someone had been farming Gems to extinction then the prce of these should also have dropped no? Something doesn't add up.

I guess the lawnmower man was right: There is ALWAYS a backdoor. The one universal truth of networked computing.

Net Flanders · Aug 12, 2007, 10:06 PM // 22:06

There aren't gems farmed, that would take to long ~~
I'm sure somebody found a hack or a dupe ... believe me

JeniM · Aug 12, 2007, 10:07 PM // 22:07

Well gang looks like we have another mystery on our hands
