Seems there is no item tracking.

PP being another thing in the TC patch that is bugged and need to be tweaked.  It seems Henrik also admitted that items are not tracked.

This will probably take a while as well untill we think it is in a proper balance since it is not easy at all. Also since each thing takes different time to get in the game, which is pretty hard for us to use, since we can mostly look on what you are getting right now, that do gives us somewhat wrong balance value on PP sale. Your feedback on different things are appreciated since we intend to further balance these values along the road. We thought it would be safer to start out on a slow Surpluce gain than to fast. __________________

To not have logic and understanding within the code of every item and at least a relative drop % is why you never recognize a dupe until the community makes a video or causes a complete fuss about it. __________________ In Gaul'Kor the law is handed out with an Iron Fist.

I don't think that's what he said. I've already spoken about some of the tools we now have on this board.

As well as the asset stripping from ...dupers.

With the many, many items that can be handed in for PP he is asking for feedback/suggestions - he of course gets this from the Dev Team, Support Team and the Focus Group - it's nice he's asking the wider community. 

Thank you

Theia, note that when you reply you are not supposed to write in the quote window, but below, makes reading it easier (it can be a bit tricky, mmorpg text editor is bit weird)

 Not really.   His reply was in bright bright green while the quote was not.

Him using attention grabbing color (to put it in a nice way) is no excuse to screw up formatting :P

I'm confused, are you saying you did NOT have a way to track items before?  You specifically said "tools we have now" and even Henrik makes it seem these tools are all new to SV.

That is my point they have talked about new tools a couple times now.  How are these new tools finding old stockpiles of duped gold?  Also how are these tools going to delete legitimate items and property bought with duped materials and gold.  There are still keeps standing in game bought with duped gold.

 Would it not be better to simply  make this function like an economy is supposed to function?  The more frequently something is turned in, the less it is worth.  The rarer items would then be worth more.  This is basic economics.  Asking people to vote is probably not the best method for forming an economic base... and that is essentially what is happening here...

 But that's just me....

What does "surpluce" mean? I can't find it in my dictionary or in wikipedia.

I believe it's "Swenglish" for Surplus.

It is Swenglish for 'surplus' ...  Remember English isn't their first language in Sweden.  I've linked the wikki page about Sweden so you can see where it is on the map.  So we see a lot of these sorts of typos coming from the team - their spoken English is prefect.  But they keep Martialis and I busy re-writing things.  Henrik can and does post for himself - so you will still see a little bit of this. 

 

Thanks for taking the time to point that out to us!

You know, there is this simple addon for most browsers called spellcheck.. underlines all your typos with fat red lines. Maybe something for the SV team? Beyond me how they manage to avoid using it.

(Shame it doesn't work on mmorpg thou:S)

hehe - good point!
