Lately it seems that people are trading stacks of armbraces for the rare exotic mini pets in the game. Im talking about trades like 100k+1500e+100armbraces or more. This has to be from item duplication. How do they duplicate these items?

From what I know, there is no item duplication in Guildwars. People farm for these items because of the newest expansion.

Well, people who know guild wars know the ammount of work involved in farming a single armbrace let alone over 100 of them, and in some cases a stack of them(250). If they were buying them for real money, the cost of a stack of armbraces would be somewhere around $8,000 usd. based on their in game value and the cost of online gold. So, that still leaves me to believe that players are duplicating these items.

That would involve changing packets to dupe items and GW made sure that duping items was one of many things stopped by all means possible.

It was possible to dupe items, but ANet stopped it. There were only a few people who found out about how2dupe, but they were also a bunch of idiots who would put more than 1000 duped Armbraces in a trade window. The guy who was trading with him (he was trying to sell a mini Kanaxai) took a screenie, posted it on Guru, and wham! The guy who duped and his duping boyfriends got banned.

There was a duping code but not anymore.

Yea i saw that picture of the armbraces i think. The guy had a stack in each slot.

Duping Items is still possible but there is now higher risks of you getting banned. It is just based on lag and internet connections so it is not a 100% chance of it working anyway.

I heard that ANet fixed that exploit.
