Ok, for those of you unfamiliar with the duplication bug....over the last few days peeps were able to duplicate recs and obtain an ungodly amount. They will be able to powerlevel themselves, UNDERMINING the hard work that all the honest people have done. Not only this, but they will be able to undersell everyone indefinitely. This will ruin the economy of the game, and ruin the artisan class completely, the reason why iplay this game and what makes this game different from the rest.

I believe the only solution is acouple days of rollback. Granted, i will lose lots of time, mined resources, sales, exp, etc.But think of the long term effects....granted the problemis solved, but these peeps still have the recs theyillegallygot.So im calling for all HONEST crafters to bite the bullet and reply in agreement with this petition before the problem gets ignored and the crafting economy ruined.

There will never be a roll-back.

agree they won t rollback ...

But I think they have the tools to track all exploiters who used this bug. Hope they ll do somethin...

Actually if the seriousness of the problem is enough they could do a rollback, it wouldn't be the first time a mmorpg did this. Although they may instead do a resource wipe like they did in beta they do have that capability.

They would lose more customers to a multiple day rollback than they would if they did absolutely nothing to repair the damage the bug caused. Besides, such a thing would be wholly unfair to the professions this doesn't affect much, like entertainers and combat people.

A resource wipe would help some... but those exploiters who saw it coming would already be crafting like mad to stock pile componants therefore using up tons of those ill-begotten RECS and not actually losing much. I can see manyhouses filled with crates of crafting componants..... but the evidence is gone... Fixing it would be quite a chore, but tracking down those who did it anddeleting their characters would make me just as happy. Personally... I wouldnt mind if they did a character wipe and started the whole game over, (after they fix all the exploits).... but thats just wishful thinking.

Um i dont think a roll back is a good idea but i guessi wouldnt mind a player wip since i am so used to the from beta, but then again most people wouldnt like that either so whats left but to trake them down and delete there chars?

You know what the solution is?

If you meet someone selling a heavy Mineral harvestor for 30,000 credits...report them.

If you meet someone selling 1,000,000 polonium iron...report them.

And don't buy anything from this person. Set them on ignore. Report them, call the CSR's, tell everyone around that the person is using a resource duping exploit and then report them again.

Better yet, try to trick them into revealing that they are using the duping bug, then report them.

-I AM WARGHUL

you guys can be serious!!

report someone for selling low prices?

GEZ! whats it going to be next.

Page a GM, cuz so and so didnt say milord or thank you?

if you know how to reproduce the bug, log it.
