even if they emptied every bag I had it wouldnt matter much.  I'd be pissed for a day or two but most of my shit was molding away untouched before the duping thing made it semi-interesting for about three hours.

There's only 1 reason Turbine is actually going after people here, imo.  They felt a little sting in the cash register. 

There were 2 exploits, not 1.  If you knew how to use them together, and if you had a few friends who were willing to team up and pool resources, you could make some interesting things.  A lot of those things happen to be sold in the store. 

I mean, how much money were they going to make off Raid Bypass Timers, Experience boosters, or +5 tomes if we all had a few thousand of each in our inventories?  That's why they are going in and trashing the goods.  Most of the time the exploits just help us out a little, this time it was going to have a negative impact on sales.

This is also why only certain people are getting banned while others are ignored.  Since exploit #2 involved the guild chest it's a safe bet that bans will have a heavy impact on some guilds rather than general population.

The only store items that were impacted were jeweler's kits and some augments at most.

Unless I'm missing something, it wasn't like you could get tomes or raid bypass timers.

Use the few brain cells you have add Duping Exploit and Bag Exploit...

Just an example :

Buy 3 Yellow Dopant ( BtA ), dupe the shit out of them.
Once you have stacks of 1000s Dopants starts selling them through the Bag Exploit

It didn't take me long to see the implications once I knew about the Bag Exploit.

It's like adding the other two exploits currently active together... Your Lowbies TRs are basically demi-gods in quests, but it's not as if it had any impact on store sales.

you need exploits to make your lowbie TRs demi-gods in quests?  the shit is easy enough as it is with randogear and ship buffs.

hell some quests I can walk away while a hireling completes it.

Why would you congradulate them? Their gear is shit now.

Since they have patched out the exploit I guess I'll spell it out.

The guild chest was bugged and was allowing BTC and BTA items in, provided they were in a bag.  Three guildies get together, and start bag/chest trading their Mabar Dragon Signets.  Now you have 3. 

Apply duplication bug in generous measures.  Return to your guildies their share of the loot.  Repeat as often as you wish.

"But each toon can only get one +5 tome!" you say?  That's nice, but I bet you can think of a few people with more than 6 alts.  I can think of a few with more than 20.  20 +5 tomes an account owner didn't need to farm or buy makes Turbine no happy.

Yellow dopant, (sold in store)
True Imperial Blood augment,
Festivult cookies and cakes, (sold in store)
Medium Eberron Dragonshards, (xp pots and sp trinket, sold in store)
Ice game coins and recipes,
Tokens, (Hearts of Wood sold in store)
Canith and Eveningstar challenge mats,
Canith crafting mats, (sold in store)
Augments of any flavor, (sold in store)
Dragontouched Runes,
Epic Scrolls (anybody need an SOS scroll for cheap?)
and let's not forget to fill your gem bags until you plat cap.

We tried that. Unfortunately litany essences don't stack.

I know someone who got perma-banned friday on a non-duping account.  At the time, he was advertising occupy stormreach in the market lol. 

No response or explanation by turbine yet.

This information needs to be made very, very public.

Well it's not clear what reason turbine banned him. It could just be coincidence.  He's going to keep me updated on the ticket he put in, but it's just kind of sad either way that they can't even give a reason up front.

It's a lot easier when you're using the correct altar.

I hear there's one in necro iv.  Maybe you should try that with one of them newfangled litanies that are upgradeable.
