To Avoid it is to simply not do a trick some call "1 for 2" or anything to do with cloning items. dont take random squads from people in beginners areas. Do not accept trades for low lvl items cus it will result in something lost you may not have offered.

That is as vague as it gets.

From the post describing this glitch is doenst look like a "duping trick" at all. Is a mysterious way of stealing an item of yours without trading it.

There is no cloning if the scammed lose the object.



I personally would never know how to do this trick, cuz im very positive i would try it out.

So, whoever knows how this works pls, dont post it on the friggin official forum.

It was never about a duping trick, if you read my post thats just what they say to get the person to follow the weird steps it takes to make the glitch happen. The thing is, it has to be some kind of cheat engine they are running (if it's real) in addition to the steps the person got scammed took. Because if was something as simple as "dragging one item over another" which I heard on person say they dragged an arrow on top of their potion then someone else would have experienced by now and reported it as a legitimate bug. So it's not really being helpful at all with this vagueness because it's obviously going to take more than something like that to make it work. They are just letting this person get away with it if they are telling the truth. Which makes me think they are simply trolling. And either haven't been scammed, or are lying and don't want to admit they legitimately traded their items.

I believe that if this "dupe **** scam" or whatever you want to call it actually exists.. it would be complex. The so called cheat engine you are talking about may be able to create fake client side items, but on server side they don't really exist... like the catshops that buy stuff for more coin than they have via a memory **** that tells the client they have more coins than they actually have. Client lets them set shop, server doesn't let them buy. One of my first thoughts when i heard of this scam (and its involvement with dragging items around) was the "bottle duplication" glitch in Ocarina of Time. That video isnt the best example of this glitch, but the easiest way to accomplish it in that game is to initiate the "catch" action with the bottle, then swap to inventory and select another item in place of the bottle. The new item would be replaced by a new bottle - and you would have 2 bottles now instead of 1.

Taking that a bit further, and this is just a theory... the items supposedly created on the scammers client which don't exist in reality are some how being used as a place holder by the scammer, and when dragged over the weapon or helmet - the item being stolen is imprinted onto the scammers client. Again, its just a theory - and not sure how it ties in with the trade window. Thats just because I haven't actually been scammed.

if you are concerned about someone trying this scam on ya to get a prime item off your account ,then bind it. have heard of the "duplicating" trick before from a different game,....not surprised to hear that items have been getting dupped,...just check a/h from time to time....30 p.o.f's b:chuckle ...not a normal site in a/h ,norm is 3-5 , love tomes..maybe 1 in a blue moon...3 or more..hmmmm.
