And thus, wouldn't white slating be merely a minor glitch?
See, the problem is that Chaosing isn't cost effective unless you have everything else upgraded. Keep in mind that Chaos are 60% scrolls. 30% of the time, they add stats, 30% of the time, they take it away, and this applies to all stats individually. However, it balances out when it works to a net +0. Getting more than +2 on each Chaos is by extreme luck, as you have about an 18% chance of getting it on your desired stat. Getting 18% chance on 5 slots isn't very high, thus, it would not be as gamebreaking as you'd imagine it to be.
Somehow, I highly doubt they have all the items in the database. If they did, then last year's duping scheme would not have worked. Also, if they had all the items in the database, why did they not attach item IDs to each one of them?
LOLOLOL! How would using this save you one white scroll? The scroll is still 10%, meaning you still have to do whatever you have to do 10 times to get the slot.
Well, it all obviously depends whether this glitch will kill MapleStory or not like the pickpocket-error. I don't think it will.
And yes, white slating would for me not be a big issue, though fixing it wouldn't be too stupid, as it kills the reason to get slates without white scrolls. On the other hand, capes and shoes with a lot of stats (say, a 30 int cape) would for me be overkill. And though given the fact that a chaos cape or shoe have low rates of becoming good, the chance's still there.
Thing is, they have the items in a database. How it's stored, I'm unsure of. However, what I do know, is that when you log on on another computer than you normally use, your items are still there. Thus, it must be on a server, written in a database. Maybe not as easy to drag out from the server that they would like to, but it has to be there somewhere, lol.
And that slating-thing:
10 10%s before a slot is working, all with white scrolls requires 10 white scrolls.
10 10% and slating if a slot is failing would only require 9 white scrolls.
(Either way, slates have a boom-rate, and I don't like that boom-rate even if it's almost nonexistant)
Oh, and yeah, if they are actually able to locate the white-protection/spiked items:
Remove bonus(es), and add same amount of scrolls, white scrolls and spike/protection-scrolls.
