Duped Items

[Mr.Rager]

I'm sure lots of you, even the ones that don't trade. Heard about an exploit found out by a group of russian traders that lets you duplicate your items. As a result many expensive and high tier unusuals, and other items such as max heads, earbuds, and keys were all duplicated and sold cheap. Vavle closed down trading for a little while as they tried to fix it and it seems they have solved the problem, although the duplicated items seem to still be in tf2. After fixing this problem, Valve decided to VAC ban and wipe the backpacks of anyone who duplicated items, including two of my friends who helped valve find the exploit (which I think is messed up). But the problem has pretty much been fixed and it doesnt seem like too many people, other than the duplicators were affected. This just goes to show, that valve will only fix problems when it involves them losing money.

Now now, I think your being a bit too harsh on Valve, they just did what they found necessary.

Not that strange, as this has happened before in other games (For all you beasts out there, Runescape (lol) had a similar problem and dealt with it the same way, if your really interested read here)

Now that's just mean, but that's kinda how every company has to see things, but they wont ONLY fix problems that involves them losing money. Just have faith in ol' Gabe/Robin to do their part.

Well you know its true, theres tons of glitches that ive seen including stuff with unusuals that have been messed up for nearly a year and they still havent fixed.

Is that right?


...Care to elaborate?

Another point for capitalism.
Alternatively, Valve is just establishing that they are indeed for profit, and updates are to keep profits streaming in for relatively low cost.
So anyway.

Secret still has like 8 max heads -.- hes vacbanned but his bp is fine
Also other people duped items too....
There are 2 sunbeams team captains with the same id# and nothing happened to the owners.
And there are other promos and unusuals items like that. Most of them are 2-4 times duped so people dont notice i guess.
