legit SoJ ?

[w-igor]

i remember people didnt want soj with one skin... dont remember which one. that skin was duped or something... can someone tell me something about it? :) which soj is 'bad'? which soj CAN be bad? if i had to choose - which skin should i take?

[IamMartin]

all soj can be bad and most are bad.
only ones that can truely be consider legit are the one's you find or a close firend of your find.
there are way too many dupers and all skin of soj have been duped one way or another. i think it was back in .09 when there was only one kind of soj and .08 wf that was massive duped. but right now, i think every skin of soj u will find on the market is most likely a dupe, just like 99.99% hrs u will likely be trading for.

what to do with soj/hr like that? can i only wait until it disappear?

[IamMartin]

perming them is a good way to keep them from disappearing. but that can't stop them from poofing 100% of the time. thats why i personally don't trade for hrs unless i need to make a runeword right away. it might cost a little higher to get all the runes u want at once, but it's better than finding ur hrs poofing every time u log on

Don't trade for hrs until you are ready to use/trade them. And simply don't trade for sojs; Get all your other gear first(Better chance of not being duped) then when you are a little more wealthy, purchase sojs on battle.net or legit sojs on these forums (will be x3-5 the value of b.net sojs)

If you're trading for an excess of sojs as currency or whatever, expect some to disappear. I wouldn't get all paranoid about it and engage in superstitious voodoos or whatever.. just play! =)

[canudig]

yeah, but it makes it tough on ppl like me cause I am pretty poor and ppl offer HRs for some of my stuff and then I don't want to risk losing the HR so I have to try to get the dude to trade for something in my ISO.....huge hassle and turn-off for potential traders

[PvtCaboose]

its true. the sojs are mostly duped... however you can find trustwrothy traders on this site, so you can look this way. or you can do nm andy runs and hope for a unique ring.

i dont ever perm anymore. if it poofs it poofs.

but, with the duping being curved its getting alittle better.

Back in .09, 98.99999199999999% of all soj's in all styles were dupes. i had over a 100 in each style at one time. ... just call me a used car salesman.

same thing with high runes now too.

A dupe is just a copy of the orignal, the only ways a dupe will POOF is if ruststorm is ran or if the orignal comes into the same game. i havent done any perming in over a year and none of the many runes i have came across POOF'D from not perming. the only ones that have poof'd where in public games.

Now i will only go in private games with a rune that i traded for. My rune mule will not see a game with anybody but me in it. If i trade for a rune i then mule it until i need it.

ANY SOJ OR HIGH RUNE THAT YOU DIDN'T FIND YOURSELF, TREAT IT ASIF IT'S A DUPE. also be skeptical of any perfect items or items that those stores sell.
