It says WIDELY ACCEPTED 3-10 ppl is anything but widely accepted. i dont think your reading my posts throughly, ive said that a handful of ppl that truely know the item has been duped isnt "Widely Accepted" nor should it Qualify the item to be put in that list. all of the items, except for the items ive mentioned here, are sold in mass quantities or were on Widely Known about Dupers Vendors for months on end and therefore should be in that list, I agree with that for once lol. But, Items that were not on those vendors or are not being sold in mass quantities or being sold at all for that matter, SHOULD NOT be on that list, they may have been duped but man so has everything else, you cant ban all the freggin rares in the game and im sure that probably about 80% or more of them HAVE BEEN DUPED, the ones we all know about and we all see daily should be in that list, sure, but the others shouldnt be. Items that were given out in the 100's shouldnt be either, thats just plain ignorant as you cant nor would you have ever been able to tell if those were duped or not.
And as far as boycotting or banning items from this forum goes, thats just completely and utterly pointless, if you wana put the items in the sticky in a different forum then be my guest, but GL on getting the admins to make one. and even IF you do get em to make one ONLY the items in that list should go there. you cant ban or boycott server births at all, at all. 95% of server births have been undoubtedly duped, and on top of that, there was never a definitive number of those given out, there could have been lots taken from each shard to begin with. Everyone knows that server births have been duped, they were duped soooo many years ago, yet they have maintained the same prices and are actually going up in price now.
Dupes may be a menace to this game and I know that none of us like em, but the fact still remains that they are in the game, we do still have to deal with them, EA has yet to even come close to attempting to fix the issue, and there very well could be a new dupe out right now thats allowing ppl to make more of these.
But that doesnt mean that they arent rares. These are not Common items, they dont spawn, you cant personally go create your own, and not everyone can get there hands on one, and they arent cheap by any means. So again I say, By Definition these ARE in fact RARES. and even if a handful of us do start to boycott duped items, do you REALLY think thats guna make even the slightest difference? there will always be someone else to jump in and take your place.
Again, I know none of us like dupes, but look guys, they Are here in the game and theres really nothing we can do about it at all, only EA has the power to remove the items and they're certainly not in any hurry to do so. So we really have no choice but to just Deal with it, Crying, Complaining, Griping, pancakes, Whining etc etc etc is NEVER going to accomplish anything.
And Actually there IS a middle ground tbh, i mean i know that none of us are in favor of supporting duping by any means, We are ALL against it. But that doesnt mean we cant buy and sell em, i buy collections ALL the time and in every single one of em theres an item thats been supposedly duped, so what would you have me do? throw it away? I think not, Im sure that Gwy, Manti and Nails all have a Shroud of Tal'keesh or Oak leaf in their museums as do most of us museum owners but that doesn't by any means at all mean were trying to support duping.
A guy comes back from a 4-5 year break from this game, has an original shroud of tal'keesh that he personally won at the event, been sittin in his bank every since he left. He's pretty excited to have what he thinks is such a rare item, and he cant wait to see the value of it. He posts it on here to get a PC, all excited like its Christmas morning or something waiting for a reply, Only to be flammed for selling a duped item and redirected to a new duping forum, Real or Fake all you guys see is something that was duped. And now this poor guy is heart broken, could careless about this game anymore as most of his items are now dupes and decides to quit again not because of duping but because of the member of the rares community who shut him out and labled him a duper or fencer just for owning what he thought to be an extremely rare item. Now sure it was dupings fault that made everyone act the way they did, but they didnt HAVE to act that way nor should they have been allowed to, ppl in this forum shouldnt beable to ridicule ppl or shut them out just for having a duped item nor should they be redirected to a new duping forum. you guys are hurting the game more than duping is just by being ***** to everyone that has them =/
All the Talk about dupes and bashing the ppl who have them or that are selling them is discouraging to most, it makes ppl wana stop comming to this forum, it makes ppl wana quit the game, because they cant have fun any more They cant sell their items without being flamed, bashed, and shut out by everyone in the rares community. and im really starting to wonder why its allowed to go on so much, I thought that was the entire point of that sticky to begin with is to remove all the talk about dupes, any time someone had something to say about dupes or whats been duped etc etc they could just be redirected to that thread and the post removed, thus eliminating all the talk about dupes. But the sticky is there and everyone is still whining about it daily. Why is it be allowed? Tomas, you and Ryna have both said not to talk about dupes in previous threads, why isnt this being enforced?
