You are quitting anyhow...
So be a martyr for the legit players and call out every duper before you go.
[/ QUOTE ] I would, but all the ones I hated have gone quiet or taken up new identities after the first ban cycle.

Welp then I have cleared misplaced my anger. I could care less about me not being able to bless my garbage. My stuff isn't worthy of being blessed. The point was that IBDs seem to keep appearing out of nowhere... Yet.. Nobody knows why. Hrm. Weird.
[/ QUOTE ]
They're not so much just appearing out of no where, they've been around and never disappeared. This duped item has been around for years and has always been available for purchase for the right price. All that's happened lately is more people are able to afford it due to anyone being able to just afk script farm barbed kits and sell thousands a week for 2-3m per.
<blockquote><hr>
Insurance is for the poor. Blessings are for the rich. The point is to remove vast amounts of gold from the game instead of giving it to the dupers.
[/ QUOTE ] Vast amounts of gold will never be removed from the game at a rate that's greater than the speed it gets created every hour by afk vamp dexxers scripting gold from various dungeons on every server such as crystal demons. Maybe it may eventually dwindle if EA constantly banned these afk botters, but it'll never happen because EA doesn't care about it anymore and I've gotten tired of paging on people botting only to see them sitting there continuing it while I get canned msgs from GMs.
<blockquote><hr>
Everything is blessable now. Just dupe yourself some nifty IBDs and voila. InstaWOW.
[/ QUOTE ]
The latest dupe method was fixed earlier this year I believe so whatever IBDs you see now are just backstock from what was created before. If there was an active dupe out you can be assured they won't be duping junky little IBDs because the market on them is so small that it's not really worth while anymore. Why dupe an IBD when you can dupe a million heartwood runics and bod books filled with 5000 filled b.kit Lbods each? 50m IBD vs a bod book worth 10bil gold in 1 dupe cycle? Unless EA decides to screw something up
AGAIN you can expect to see the IBDs eventually dissappear again in time. So don't worry about an active dupe on IBDs so much as EA screwing up coding again.
<blockquote><hr>
So you can be just like WOW for a mere 300-500M
[/ QUOTE ]
Yep, a mere 300-500m. Just look at for example, the past 10 rares auctions held on stratics. Probably 90% of the things bought were just a handful of collectors shelling out billions of gold to assimilate the quitting players' goods. There are many people with loads of gold packed away doing nothing but waiting to be spent, all the people who don't sell their gold but are smart enough to resale at a good pace just have loads of it. Just because they don't all walk around in blessed suits doesn't mean there aren't multi billionaires under our noses
They're just smart enough not to waste the money on a blessed suit that becomes obsolete in a random patch that nerfs what the suit's stats are. Unlike myself of course, whose vamp mage suit had its worth cut in half in one swift patch that nerfed magery in vamp form.
<blockquote><hr>
Then the money leaves the game instead of going to one who contributes to the duping problem.
[/ QUOTE ] The thing with dupers is they never will find a problem in running low on gold unless they're banned. One item's profit margin becomes too low? No problem, they'll just move on into supplying another dupe until the demands shift again. That's the benefits of just magically creating items out of thin air I suppose.
<blockquote><hr>
Actually.. I was just addressing this one item. Hence the "Item Bless Deeds" title. I wasn't looking to fix duping. Just the IBDs.
[/ QUOTE ] If you were concerned with keeping gold out of dupers' pockets I would think that your main concern should be duping as a whole. Concentrating on just a specific item with low demand such as an item bless deed was what initially prompted me into thinking you had a desire for the item and thus began research upon it.
<blockquote><hr>
I am accepting any dust covered gold coins. If any power gamer has some coins that is wasting space and collecting dust... Then by all means, I will be happy to get rid of that burden for them.
[/ QUOTE ] Dust covered gold coins of mine are only relinquished with dust covered dollar bills in real life. Power gamers are usually that... power gamers. Most are moguls and not very charitable when it comes to spreading their wealth among everyone. It's not so much a burden for them either, as the gold basically sits on a solitary vendor which self maintains itself while holding billions of gold until it's needed.
