The Developers Do Care About Duped Items!

[Lord Nabin]

Come on, really? If Mesanna cared even slightly about duped items or scripting, she's take a few minutes to buy a handful of items from the 3rd party sellers, and tag their accounts for later examination when she meets with them to trade. She could identify the sources of scripting and gold/item sellers by posing as a player.

In no way should it be assumed that this has not been done friend.

Ignoring the details of what happened with this particular individual, I have to comment on this statement:

But they've been selling scripted resources, scripted skill training, duped items and gold for many years now with no interruption.

In no way should it be assumed that this has not been done friend.

Mesanna IS NOT STUPID just like @Lord Nabin said she probley knows who is doing what but she also understands that to shut down all those sites and accounts would be the downfall of UO, sad to say. IMHO that is why she said win at any cost, she can't say they are legal to use but as long as you are not AFK then they will not do anything. Sadly we have to accept the bad with the good so we can play the game we love.

So, sadly, it seems that the devs have decided to say to heck with integrity, fair play, and the RULES, and are blatantly turning a "blind eye" to cheaters and scripters. Tough call, I guess. I wonder though how many people have LEFT because of those same cheaters and scripters? Just a thought.

It's a classic "caught between a rock and a hard spot" scenario I guess.
