Hi, I’m one of the dupers, and I know all there is to know about duping. Please be respectful; I understand the impact it had on the economy. My English might not be perfect since I’m Russian and still learning the language. It seems the community is quick to believe anything they hear, no offense intended, but it’s true. Now, you’re about to learn everything you need to know.
How It Started:
On June 17th, my friend (let’s call him ‘tnd,’ his nickname) and I began our journey into duping. We targeted the WOC20 initially, which, as you know, was heavily duped. Following that, we moved on to duping items like Fey and Crimson, among others, trading them for real money. That was the whole purpose of our duping operation. Eventually, we decided to sell the first source to a user named Dued1. Tnd reached out to him and made the sale for 100k in Robux.
The Second Dupe Script:
A week later, we developed our second dupe script. This time, we focused on Medas, which fetched a high price at the time. Unfortunately, the community’s staff caught wind of this, and an anti-cheat error was introduced, greatly hindering our operations. This error prevented items from stacking correctly during trades, effectively stopping our method. About 1.5 months later, developers patched this loophole, leaving us disappointed.
The Third Dupe Script:
Undeterred, we found another method to continue our activities. However, by this point, the market value for items had plummeted. For instance, Medas that sold for 5k rubles during our second wave of duping were now going for just 600 rubles. The economy was in shambles, and the Russian community, in particular, didn’t seem to care, with rampant buying and selling of items for real money continuing. Eventually, I considered leaking the source to the developers so they could patch the exploit. On October 23rd, I did what I felt was right for the community by sharing the source with the devs. Although motivated by financial needs, as I was broke, I ended up with a Galaxy item, though I had hoped for Robux or cash. Currently, I have 16 banned accounts with a combined value of over 1 billion. To iStratix, Dued1, or Jesse, if you’re reading this, I’m pleading for an exchange; the Galaxy doesn’t serve my initial purpose for joining this game and community.
How the Dupe Worked:
The duping involved trading and freezing data.
Which Items Got Duped?
Items heavily affected included GH20, Axer, CMaya, Calf, Crim, Ara, Fey, WOC20, Meda, Ruby, Fae, Snow Castle, Cor Clucky, Cold Clucky, C’s Corruptor, Cold WOC, and other items of lesser value that we didn’t focus on much.
That’s all there is to know about the duping. Jesse asked me to create this post for the forum.
