Removal and Replacement of Illicit Items

Not holding my breath until the dust clears on this one. If they don't check MTS, Storage, Duey (Yes, even fucking DUEY), and locked items, EVERYTHING, then this is a failure in execution entirely. As stated they don't mention mass duped or EE hacked equips either.


Here's hoping this is the "dust storm" of Maplestory. Or whatever the pineapple that huge item wiping of Diablo II patch was called.

rust storm, but the biggest difference is, with rust storm they implemented a unique ID tag for every single item in the entire game; dupes have the same unique identifier as the original, thus making it very easy to delete all duplicates. In 1.10 they actually made it a semi-permanent feature, and the duplicate deletion happened at random every single time you left a game, forever. Which is why HRs were so hard to sell after a while, because they were so badly duped it was almost impossible that they would last beyond the game you bought them in (though a bypass of sorts was eventually found, but even that wasn't perfect). D2's system for dealing with illegit/duped items was actually very good, they just slacked on absolutely everything else, from botting to RMT spammers to server connectivity.
