This is related to an exploit fix that was causing game performance and other issues. No further information will be provided nor tolerated on the forums.

Do you not pay attention to the DDO Discord??

Steelstar said there was a big exploit going on and that it was pretty easy to tell who was doing it.

Old news.

Well if Steelstar said it it must be true.

Nerfs under the old "fixing lag" guise. The new normal.

Guys have George Santos like levels of credibility.

Well genius, there *was* a big (HUGE, really) exploit going on. In fact there were several exploits going on.

Besides the Hood exploit (you could use it almost at will despite the fact it had 1 charge), there was a dupe exploit where Otto's boxes were being duped (no surprise there), and there was a card dupe exploit happening. Orien was the epicenter of it all. The Cleansing Card was one of the favorite targets of the dupers.

Pay attention, Sleepy.

My metaphorical hat to Orien players who managed to make the devs do some actual work  Grin

I only regret they fixed before I got my paws on it.

Good on whoever figured it out.
  

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.

I fondly remember duppapalooza. 
And afterwards I was (un)happily banned for 3-4 weeks and extreeeeeeeemmm prejudically cleansed as they logged on all my toons and cleaned them out one at a time. Every stackable item in bank, inventory and reincarnation cache was deleted (if baggable or not) and every single bag was manually deleted and recreated.

fun times.

My dog if that's what happened, I'm guessing you were drawing attention to yourself. Who did you piss off or advertise that reported you?

Had a guy in my guild on Cannith who was running around giving away stuff.  Scales, mats, anything you could dupe he was handing out like candy.  He never got caught and later when the card duping was happening he was doing that too.  My best guess is he was connected and more or less bulletproof.

Players love him and nobody reported him? just a wild ass guess.

You'd need to be reported several times before SSGtards even lift a finger.

I duped 100K Commendations on one toon.  In fact I think I did it on several toons.  I didn't brag about it or anything, so I guess I was picked up by some SQL query.
I duped a LOT, way way way too much

bur it was fun

I also saw him lvl and TR multiples times a day.  How he wasn't caught by the geniuses at Turbine is a mystery.  (yes, I know they're a bunch of retards, but even retards can tell time)

With Otto Boxes and TR timer resets included in those boxes, multiple legit TRs and levelings in one day are certainly possible.

SSG does not even react on Video evidence. There was a guy that had multiple clips online and I am pretty sure he got reported because he was an ass. Nothing happened.
My guess is, they do roll a dice.

Sure, legit methods exist.  But this guy was duping his ass off and giving shit away.  No way was he doing it legit.

Not that I want the guy punished for it; he was exploiting Turbine's shitty code.  That's a Turbine problem, not a me problem.

My theory is that the people who were the biggest dupers were protected or connected.  Probably got a quiet message to quit and all would be forgiven.

I promise that a lot of people duped a lot. I strongly believe there was no "SQL query". There would have been many more bans if so. Someone reported you probably. Maybe a rando and it was bad luck. Actually, at one point I heard they had devs or GMS watching certain areas like banks. So, doing dupes on ships and/or less common banks became a thing.   <shrug>.

Many (most?) of the duped items from those days that weren't used still exist.

From dupapalooza? I think you underestimate how many were doing it. If you were a guild member and playing endgame content, I'm guessing 80%+ were duping during the height of that time. Those were exciting days.

As long as duping is somehow profitable for SSG (and not destroying ingame economy too much) you are safe.

So don't give away stuff, just put on ASAH and you'll be fine Smiley

And never ever try to dupe shards. Those guys from Reddit who found exploit in monster manual back in the day were permabanned en masse.

Eh, I peeked in to take a look and a guy who I know does that sorta stuff no longer exists. That said, he's also a notorious super rage quitter, so I might just see him in the same name at 1st life in a few months.
