Don't forget the anniversary card dupes and the ability to transfer bound items in unbound bags (think rare shards like eSoS, for example) Although you could use "dupapalooza" as an umbrella for that era. But, there were breaks between. Good times.

I mostly missed out on the card re-use, unfortunately. I was on break when it was hot.


Same. I was playing at the time but had not yet gotten involved in exploits. I wish now I had taken a chance on those goody bags I was seeing.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Admit to the wish but deny the presence. Perfectly believable alibi.

I openly talk about buying boxes and duping ings/collectibles. Do you think I'd deny using the card muncher exploit?

150 per hour I wouldn't sneer at.  That's not chump change.  He wasn't making near that.

I'm going to be very generous with this because I'm a nice guy.

He was at it for two years, but for this we're going to say one.  He was charging more but had slowed in how many he was duping (since he could no longer be as blatant as he'd been).  He can deny it all he wants, but those who know, know.

We'll say a year.  He probably made the mass of that 20k in that year but not all of it, but we'll say he did make it all in one year.

That comes out to about 55 bucks a day for his side hustle.  If he was doing it in an hour, it's not great but again, not exactly chump change.

Again, he'll lie but there's no way he was doing it all in just an hour a day.  First 6 months he was hustling and promoting around the clock.  Contacting people, sending messages, working discord.  Building a web site, dealing with the legal threats from SSG.  Plea bargaining.   

And that's not even getting into the duping itself.  Transferring toons, making new dummy accounts, using 3 different accounts per transaction to try and keep his storage mules safe.  Waiting for buyers, drag and dropping during the sales.

Min 4 hours a day and I wouldn't be surprised if it came out to nearly twice that.  Starting out, this was a full time job.

Even at 4 hours a day?  50 bucks?  Kids with paper routes probably make more than that.

This wasn't a low effort endeavor.  You don't put that much effort into it for "props" (though it was funny him begging like a dog for attention and a title and getting denied it). 

He did it because his sorry ass was broke.

No idea where you got that 400k number from.  Even at part time, 20k a year gets you 400k never.


You might be a nice guy but with your reading comprehension, you should be happy at $15 per hour. the 400k was derived from your comment, you know, the part of my post that I quoted?

You could offer me 25 bucks a day just to get out of bed 10 minutes early and I'd tell you to go fuck yourself.

Ok, I still have no idea where you're getting that 400k from.  25 bucks per day (which is what I said) would take 16,000 days (or 45 years) to make.  And I still wouldn't take you up on that offer. 

Now you said "150 dollars an hour" concerning dung eater.  Sorry, ddoplayer.  Totally different person.  I broke it down for you; there's no fucking way he was making 150 per hour.

Even if it was only in 6 months (it wasn't) and even if it was only one hour a day (it sure as fuck wasn't), that's 110 bucks an hour at best.

Do you know anyone in the tech industry?  Like a real programmer?  Someone who starts their job at 100k per year in a crap company?  Someone who makes somewhere between 300-400k as a contractor per year?

If you do, go offer them a job for an hour a day for the next 6 months (and again, can't stress this enough, NO FUCKING WAY HE WAS WORKING THOSE FEW HOURS) for 20k.  Watch them laugh in your face.

No clue where you got that 150 per hour number from.  He made 20k.  Doesn't matter if it was 6 months (it wasn't) or two years (probably closer to the truth).  That's a minimum wage job.  Check your math.

Jealous of what exactly? 


Uh... off the top of my head? the fact that ddoplayer98 knew the doop? That he had boxes to sell?

More likely... the status Ddoplayer98 got, the money he made, the way he was accepted so quickly, and most of all:

THE FACT THAT STRAKE MADE AN ENTIRELY NEW FORUM FOR DDOPLAYER98 AFTER JUST A MONTH AND HE NEVER MADE ANYTHING FOR YOU???  Bwahahahahahaaaaa!!!!


Just spitballing mind ya, lol.





P.S. another little giggle that post of yours gave me was that you couldn't help yourself from responding to me after claiming you wouldn't be talking to me anymore!  as if!! lol and here is the proof:

I'll make it easy for you.

See your comment below in bold?

You could offer me 25 bucks a day just to get out of bed 10 minutes early and I'd tell you to go fuck yourself. 

That is $25 for 10 minutes. Or $150 per hour (6*$25). Follow so far?
Per day it is $150*8 = $1,200 Follow so far?
Per Week it is $1,200*5 = $6000 Follow so far?
Per year it is $6K*52 = 312K Follow so far?
Now since we are considering AFTER-TAX money, we need to get to pretax, right? 312K/.7 =445K (assuming a 30% tax rate) Follow so far?

He didn't see shit because he's a dragonborn sock. You're trying to have a conversation with someone who exists in an entirely different reality and will happily decide you said something entirely unrelated. Its pointless to engage with any of the socks because they aren't actually talking to you. Notice the way they argue with each other.

Stop being blinded by your butthurt dumbass, neither Cunt Dunce or The Real Grimace are mine.

But hey don't take my word for it how about someone trusted and who's ass you kiss?:

dd�player98 is a troll sock of another Vault user who decided to sow some chaos. Bless his heart. You can ignore 100% of what he says. He does some..appreciated work elsewhere. But not here.


B�shop is a sock of dd�player98 and the same commentary applies



as the links show, Cunt Dunce was posting as the imitation ddoplayer account, and the wannabe grand was posting as an imitation Bishop (just like you did if memory serves...) And as Meat shared they both belong to an old timer here, and if you had half a brain you would have figured out who that is years ago... but you're Nomindo so I guess we will have to thank our luck for having Meat to think for you.

I don't even care how much of this thread is true or real, I'm enjoying it. The part about him reusing "don't make Strake work" is pure gold. And the sockfight ain't so bad, either.
