After all, 70% for scrolling is better than 60% and right behind 100% (Ignoring special scrolls with different per cents right now), so while it is possible that the Helmet will break throughout the 10 slots, the guilds do not quite expect you to really break that many times.
Not to mention that the costs for the Helmet scrolls may be expensive (Depending on what scrolls), along with the pots needed to buy for surviving Zakum runs, so that also bites away some profit too.
For defence against such events, I know a guild in Scandalia that has this policy: If you use Scissors of Karma on your Helmet, you are not allowed to buy another Helmet from them for one month. The scrolling and breaking excuse only works if they have someone personally see you break the Helmet while scrolling.
The chances of the helmet surviving ten 70%s at all is actually lower than 20%, so breaking a ton of helmets is easily understandable. Also, that last part doesn't really make sense to me, why should what the person does with the zakum helmet even matter? I don't even get why people even sell runs anymore at such a low price, might as well get another person to run on a helm looter mule, have people run helmless, or have people run on two computers to loot helms and sell them in the FM. Laziness doesn't really explain it either because selling in FM is much less hassle than dealing with the many problems that come along with random buyers.
