THE DOOMSDAY WAS A NA ONLY EVENT, MUCH LIKE HOLLYWOOD HAD PREDICTED
How come there are no topics about this here yet?!?
No NA players here?
Basically the 1.0.8 killed Diablo 3, or at least it's economy.
It all happened because of a gold dupe glitch on the rmah, people were getting trillions of gold out of this. The situation got out of control once the dupers started to buy everything on the gah, mainly radian stars, making their prices skyrocket from 20m to some 150-200m.
Non dupers started to exploit this by buying gems cheap in the rmah and then selling it by 150m in the gah, getting HUGE profits.
Here's one of the streamers that were duping gold and got banned for that:

And here is the Blizzard first blue post on it:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/8770118014
Both rmah and gah are closed now on NA.
Wanted to hear TL's ideas on this. Do you guys believe in any way to solve the problem? Is a global rollback the only way to solve this? Is the 5-7-2013 the biggest videogame fiasco of all time?
My 2 cents: Blizz will rollback the NA server.. unless they are ready to give up Diablo 3.
UPDATE 5-8-2013
Blue post:
"At this time (and after careful consideration), we've decided to not move forward with rolling back the servers. We feel that this is the best course of action given the nature of the dupe, how relatively few players used it, and the fact that its effects were fairly limited within the region. We've been able to successfully identify players who duplicated gold by using this specific bug, and are focusing on these accounts to make corrections. While this is a time-consuming and very detailed process, we believe it's the most appropriate choice given the circumstances. We know that some of you may disagree, but we feel that performing a full roll back would impact the community in an even greater way, as it would require significant downtime as well as revert the progress legitimate players have made since patch 1.0.8 was released this morning."
Seems like NA SC is dead. Any ideas on how much data Blizzard has? and if it is even possible to just "rollback" the duped gold transactions? I mean, lots of people sold items to the dupers, if only the dupers get banned/rolledback, the damage is still HUGE!

dupe worked with rmah? so HC not affected?
they should do a rollback imo
|
don't know about HC...
The ah is closed on HC aswell, but it was probably not affected.

Wasn't there a gold glitch that happened a year ago? I remember the issue was that the AH was based off the local time on the PC instead of the server time, people just rewound their time on their PC and somehow they got their money back with the item too.

I believe you are right, but this time the glitch took HUGE proportions. Every single player made some money and some gold. Some got well over 100b.

saw an account with 371 trillion igg earlier lol
ah guy above me posted ss
|
371t gold, before ah got shut down gold was selling for about 30cents/10m
Some calculations:
371t/10m=37.1m
37.1m*0.30= 11,130,000.00 dollars
Some crazy shit in here!

As messed up as the stock market. HC rollback would mean reviving my level 22 paragon -_-?
|
Too bad the real government can't do a rollback.

It's a shop!

I would bet anything they'll do some combination of rollback/ban/restitution. From what I've been seeing on the us.battle.net forums, looks like the gold has been staying since the server's have been back up, though AH remains down. Still thinking about it? Sounds like they are.
Maybe changes by end of the week.
EDIT: Found more info

Fair enough. It still wouldn't have taken more than 30 minutes to make that much, so I'm in no doubt that there's people going around with similar amounts. Pretty funny that Blizzard's taking their time to verify the legitimacy of a screenshot as opposed to rectify the catastrophic state of their economy.

Ladder reset, yay! :D

Your math is a little off 
371t/10m = 37.1m
Still ~$1 million USD worth of gold though.

He missed the decimal but got the dollar value right.
37.1 * .3 = $11,130,000
Even at off the market prices its still $5.5 million
The method was really ridiculously simple though, so I imagine tons of people had that amount. The requirements for it were kind of high though, at 6billion gold.
List 6billion for $.39 and some reason the game listed 1.7 billion or something. So when you cancelled you got an extra 4.3 billion. Dunno if there were other multiples that this worked with.

holy crap. EU is up btw, and not affected? so only US softcore got hit by that?

wow had no idea this happened!!
|
No rollbacks. Looks like it's time to quit the game in full...
