wow, I need to tell my buddy who has an acklay stun baton with 400+ damage with NO powerup.............
There are some acklay bones out there that have high dmg and are nto bugged its just the ones where the minimum dmg islarger than the max damage that is the problem so if your friends baton has a lower min dmg (considerably lower than the 400+ etc) they won't have to worry.
Currently someone is selling 10 acklay bones on Valcyn that have a max dmg 254 but the min is 98 etc.

Yeah our guild bought some hammers and batons from bones similar to that, more min though. Got a 860 max hammer so turrets became easier.

Why are you power handlers in a wearables crate? Some old bug?
As far as i know the bug is still in the game and everything is labeled wearables. Not 100% sure.
I think we'd all really like to know just how in the hell or where in the hell you made/got that crate of blaster barrels.
Most of us are on different severs than you so if you feel threatened by someone using your trade secrets, my PM box is always open.
[edit] D'oh nevermind the above. I mistook the ABPHs for barrels. Still half asleep.
On the double-slice thing: if you can recall the stuff that went into making these weapons (tissue, those barrels etc.) then the resulting weeapons should be easily explained.

Weapon component crates DO say Wearables Factory Crate. I have verified this today.
Problem is they dont listen. All i get is a bs Devs are reviewing the issue in the meantime CSR continue to come in my shop and take weapons away.

No offence, but I'm kind of amused by this. Not by the fact that you are getting screwed over by the CSR's, but by the fact that I've only been playing this game for a month and I understand both how you crafted those weapons and how there is a logical way to show that they are craftable without an exploit. The funny part is that the CSR's still don't understand this and they've been involved with this game for how long?....pathetic
good luck
I had a similar incident happen to me fairly recently. I had a gaffi stick taken away from me while afk, apparently he thought it was a double sliced weapon, yet the weapon was not sliced at all. It was made from Acklay bones with higher minimum damage than max, needless to say the CSR had no idea what he was looking at. Maybe thats why they made it possible to tell if a weapon is sliced, only cause theyre too dumb to figure it out themselves.
Anyhow 90% of CSRs know much less than the highly active players regarding how this game works, and in turn players take heat for that.
t.b.h. i can kind of see the point for the CSR's to when it comes to weapons with stats like that. I can almost hear them think "If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and..". They must've seen quite a few double sliced weapons, multi sliced light sabers, and all that, and i bet almost every time they hear an excuse to and some story how it didnt apply to them.
However what does bug me, is that CSR's then function as judge and jury, and there's by the look of things no place to appeal this descision. C'mon they are only human and if they make a mistake that effect our virtual lives, there should be a way to escelate the problem and get CSR's manager to look at it forinstance?
As far as the acklay bones go it's just silly.. I presume that when they programmed the loot table for the acklay they knew that high min dmg will cause problems with your dmg mitigation.. Now they seem to regret it and their 'hotfix' is to sneak into our homes and remove the offending weapons? Seems the wrong way around to me!
Those weapons will degrade over time anyhow, so just fix acklay's bones so his max is higher then his min, and all will be well.. No reason to go upsetting everybody!
