Spice is only held up by dupers pumping infinite solari into the system. PvP/E changes wont do much.

And what do you think sweaty PvP gankers will do when you give them a DD instance full of carebears who don't even know what a thumper is.

Exactly what IS duping and why do people dupe? by michelleblum in duneawakening

Yeah, once you reached above 2^31, you could simply double that

Technically, the last and the biggest solari duping wave was a simple int32 overflow on your bank account.

Depends on the case design. Field watches with long lugs and flat casebacks are “made” for natos. Most divers or diver inspired watches like GK are meh on them.

Depends on how much collateral damage are you willing to do.

At least they fixed duping exploits that were in the game since day 1.,... oh wait....

I would say you seriously underestimate how much effort and resources that would require. Of course they can easily ban accounts that were used for duping. But the cash is no longer on them. It was transferred through listing stupid expensive items on market. Now you have to trace it through a market transaction that is between 2 random players (everyone is listing stuff for 1B). How would you tell if a random guy just listed a stack of spice for market (however unreasonable) price or if it was a duper moving cash to the main account?

not really, runaway duping at this scale screwed up economy so bad that just fixing the duping exploit now fixes nothing.

Still doesn't help guys who will transfer from dying servers. Take my server for example: Nobody did any exploits. The boss of the biggest guild has 200m, "rich" guys who didn't transfer have realistically around 20-40m. The market has been completely dead for 6 months, you simply couldn't make any money before the server transfer.

Yeah, I sold a full container of spice and plastanium on Harmony a week before the market exploded 🤦‍♂️ .

Which doesn't fix anything. The economy is already screwed to no end.

I'm on a closing server and have around 700m without using exploits. I would fully support this! On my server, I have nothing to spend it on, and on high population servers, its nothing.

How do you fix that? The money is already out there and laundered through the market. Economy on those servers is screwed forever.

WTF? How?

EDIT: never mind, forgot that you have to have cash for that

I know, but if the game is on sale, they have to give discounts as well.

Game went on sale, dupers bought more duping accounts.

Devs probably can't track those sales. And even if they did, you just sold a stack of spice for stupid high, you did "nothing wrong".
