they also need to fix the drop barb or that will be the "new tppk method" as it lags you out but you are in game long enough to get killed and not know it.

There was some form of hack like this back in .09 because I recall loosing a 92 zon on hardcore that way.

Ya there is alot more than just tppk out there. Flash hack for one. TPPk is just the most vital one, along with the barb drop glitch because these are both unavoidable unless you play alone everygame, which is not enjoyable for most players.

Duping will NOT be fixed. It's based around an exploit in a (supposedly) unchangeable part of the game code. There will always be ways to cause lag, rollbacks, and in turn, item duplication.

TPPK, though... Easy fix.

I don't know the mechanics of duping but it's been here forever and I doubt they will ever get rid of it. *cross fingers* they fix tppk, yes it seems like a no brainer to fix.

Well, while the duping part seems hard to fix, there's quite the easy solution for the whole dilemma - cross check item ID's to all items, not just the items on one server.

Et viola... dupe as much as you want, people wouldn't care anymore.

That would help a big deal, but you're forgetting the fact that most dupers have ways of giving items new item ID's, thus making them immune to rust-storm; cubing 2 hr's, making a runeword, etc. Gives the item a completely new identity.
