Gold dupe in new patch?

Korbal · 12-08-2006, 12:27 PM

Apparently there has been a huge gold dupe that was discovered on Mannoroth. They are handing out thousands of gold to anyone who will accept it. Someone in my guild on Darrowmere also apparently had someone trade him 500g out of nowhere so it's spreading across servers now as well.

Anyone else see/hear about this?

It's totally smrt to put your name and the name of the people you send duped gold to in screenshots then post them all over the web.

from what I hear no one is getting away with this, and they are having a rollback on Tues.

Define Rollback. Is that a "every action we currently are taking will get reset" Rollback?? Why are they just not bringing the servers down now to address this issue??

I have often wondered what would happen if somebody found a dupe and then just started giving gold to everybody, claiming that they were quitting the game for good and wanted to make others happy.

it has happened before and they just banned all those that used it

I am such a noob! I have never heard of this. How is it possible?

Rythonn · 12-08-2006, 01:21 PM

Didn't they ban people who recieved the gold too?

How the fuck can they just rollback the servers after a week (apparently this has been around for a few days)? Doesn't seem like a good solution to me. If they did a rollback it would have to be now or never.

Last time this happen the rollback was more of a rollback on gold and items bought with the gold. If I remember it was a HUGE mess, as people who bought stuff on the AH lost the items or sold something lost the gold. I remember lots of people where ended up being victims when having nothing to do with it.

There's a giant EJ thread on it. Supposedly they're just indiscriminately deleting threads on the subject and trying to keep it insulated.

Thanks for your continued patience.

If you people didn't keep breaking the board...

I can see them rolling it back a month because of something like that. No wait, year.

They track _everything_ in WoW. So be careful what you do.

If EJ would stop ignoring me their site would be up right now.

Big Phoenix · 12-08-2006, 03:13 PM

Who are these EJ people, do they think they are some kind of elitest?
