Duping

[Torgoth]

What's the point? I have understood that runes and stuff puff, so is it just to trade? If you got duped rune and make word or upgrage stuff, what happens? I saw first time duping games (I copy free etc.) on Europe server this week and now I don't know do I dare to take any runes in trade anymore.

Those games are probably just to scam people. They ask you to give stuff to them, and then they "copy" it and leave game, so don't fall to that.

And duped items/runes/whatever WILL "poof" (disappear) at some point. People do it to get rich fast and easily, so they don't have to mf or anything to get wealth.

Or they do it to sell stuff on EBay for real money.

I wont.

So if I use rune that I have traded to upgrade my weapon, my weapon can disappear at some point?

And I don't understand why someone would pay real money for items or something in game.

runes disappear when they are just stored on a mule, usually when put into a weapon, it becomes "perm'd" so it wont disappear unless a ruststorm happens in which the runes which are duped will poof even when inside a white item. the armor / weapon itself wont poof though unless its also duped.

there are so many ppl lazy that they will just pay real money for pixels.

So if I have done this: 1 Lum Rune + 1 Pul Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Exceptional Unique Weapon = Elite Version of Weapon and one or both runes are duped, my weapon turns back to Exceptional when ruststorm happens? And what is ruststorm?

Ruststorm:

The game gets rid of all 'illegal' items by deleting them. I cannot answer your question about upgrading your weapon, I never heard reports about it, but my guess would be your weapon would be safe (I can't promise though!).
