so much happened the one day I decide to not do shit
Levi
If you're not in the know: it seems like an item duplication/generation exploit has been found and things are a little insane rn

oh lord
Levi
also every time someone talks about how much they hate goldenrod and steel I die a little inside
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
i love goldenrod

who what were when
Levi
Well, the timeline as I know it:
Levi
1. someone buys an Imperial hatchling off the AH for cheap
Levi
2. said someone gets flooded with messages asking how they got a G1 imperial???
Levi
3. person posts on the forums asking how much this hatchling is worth
Levi
4. staff notices a rather large influx of "G1 imp hatchlings"
Levi
5. someone somewhere posts a screenshot of duped/gen'd Imp scrolls
Levi
6. User Wicca is banned for botting
Levi
7. Rhea has a post on her tumblr documenting it. She edits it like every ten minutes saying "xx:xx staff have still made no announcement"
Levi
8. People go nuts thinking there might be a rollback
Levi
No one seems to know how it works apparently someone (Wicca?) got caught because they misspelled something, I think it was an account name they were trying to message and it got sent to the wrong person

lmao Rhea
мσяɗяєɗ ρнαηтσм
someone was trying to send their alt account 26 imp scrolls and missed a letter
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
haha having alt accounts is illegal in its own right
Levi
yeah, so exploiting and multiaccounting
Levi
what always gets me though is how stupid multiaccounters are, they friend their alts, they give them similar names, they put the "i'm a different person totally!!!" message in their profiles etc
мσяɗяєɗ ρнαηтσм
it looks like the recipient of the imp scrolls has also been banned for multiaccounting, but possibly not in relation to this whole mess too
мσяɗяєɗ ρнαηтσм
it's just what got them on the radar
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
lmao god
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
why would people think that they could just use scrolls like that and not get caught
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
if they were smart, they would have just made like...one or two scrolls
Levi
they got greedy lmao
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
and sold them as is
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
because having like one scroll is plausible
Levi
and like, why would you throw a "g1 imperial hatchling" on the AH you think people aren't gonna notice
Levi
there are people who dedicate their time to scouring the AH for G1s
Levi
anyway if you're gonna dupe items, don't go for the KS/retired stuff lol
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
i dont' get why you would put it on there anyway, for cheap?
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
hat is the point in making a gen1 imperial if you sell it for cheap
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
imperials don't sell for much on a base level these days
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
but yeah seriously
Levi
idk if they were trying to see if they could get away with it
Levi
and imo the scroll is worth much more than the dragon itself
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
it is
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
objectively
Levi
yeah, since it's le kickstarter item and it has the...potential to change a dragon into an imp I guess
Levi
though lmao who would even use an imp scroll on anything, someone who's that desperate for a g1 imp???
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
some people are really desperate for G1s
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
its incredible
Levi
yeah the types of dragons people collect is pretty incredible
Levi
Though I guess that's what happens when dragons are worthless, people need to come up with ways to make them valuable
Levi
g1, ID number, bred vs unbred, etc
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
the ID number is the most hilarious thing to me
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
its so charming
Levi
I joined in June 2013, so I actually have a ton of 5 digits that I'm sure will be worth a lot if I tried to sell them
Levi
one of them is a one off xyx g1 I could probably get big bucks from her but no she's mine forever
Levi
/sits in the peasant corner forever
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
yeah i have some 5 digits too but i would never sell them
𝖓𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞👁️𝖙𝖎𝖉𝖉𝖞
because they are my forever dragons
フィルクー✵ザデヤ
Too attached to my ungened first dragons /joins in corner
holo 2024
lol at rhea & co thinking that an announcement would be appropriate. there's a reason you're not allowed to talk public ally about exploits.
