Why the Secret Spell Scroll system would have never worked.

Do equips which are duped possess the same ID as the original? If they do, why not just run some sort of stored procedure during weekly maintenance getting rid of all items whose IDs were replicated? That would solve the duping of equips in a short-term progressive way and discourages it from continuing. As far as duped non-equips (scrolls, etc.) not having the same ID or not having any ID at all (lmfao, great work on this Nexon), that's a bit trickier to solve. In the long run, I think turning scrolls like WS into cash-shop-only items would be a step in the right direction.

Anyway, let's hope Maplestory 2 is built in C++ (sarcasm). :3
