Also, what about valuable non-equips that can be duped? Surely a stack of 100 whitescrolls doesn't have an id attached to each scroll?
Equips have the potential to have unique stats (in the actual meaning of the word), so they need individual item IDs to know what each player has in their inventory. I don't really know what happens when you dupe items, though... maybe the MTS has its own unique IDs, and it spawns new item IDs every time you remove an item from the MTS. Would not surprise me.
Valuable non-equips are still a problem, but not as big. Techniques like duping 5 slot gloves, 30%ing them all, duping the success, etc. turn multiplicative probabilities for scroll success into additive ones - you can make a +5 30% glove for only 1 item + 17 scrolls, instead of 411 scrolls and ~350 equips.
