Are you legit?

I was referring to buying items you know came about as a result of a glitch like training at a spawn hacked lhc and or buying duped gm scrolls or white scrolls for example hell you could make a case for buying mystery mastery books as well.

I was gonna oppose you until you brought up MMBs... cause my weapon's scrolled with legitimate scrolls (not GM ones, so not duped) and without WS.

Yeah, MMBs are a case where it's pretty unavoidable to buy duped/botted items (and have no way of knowing). You'll never in your lifetime hunt a MMB that gives the exact book you need, if you want to advance in the game you're gonna need them. That's Nexon's fault for sure, making a system so toxic to legitimate players. For one thing, it should be possible to hunt specific books. And for another, there shouldn't be a duping/botting problem so large that you have a 90% chance of buying duped books in the FM.

At present I'm living with it by accepting that I'll have level 10 skills on most of my characters until eternity (Paladin's the only one that maxed most of its skills before duping became a problem), but it sucks.
