also, do you guys remember when back in 1.11 or something there was a public dupe involving meteor sorc and bone wall necro?
i had like 423423432 items, but i wasn't smart enough to dupe things that i should have been like jewels, runes, and unids
I only remember the armor you'd give a merc and when he spawned a bear pet the game would crash and reroll. EZ duping but it got fixed fast + banned if you got caught in too many crashes.
How shops dupe is really clever though.
They make characters in a character editor and store them client-side in a specific place. Then they cause a specific crash and a program swaps the character info with the edited items into the d2 character folder. This would cause a mismatch between the clientside and serverside character info. Because of the nature of the crash the character info that is stored CLIENT SIDE will be used and thus you'd have the items on a battle.net realm.
