I searched TL and didn't find anything on this and I'm curious. On these "legit" realms, how can I go on d2legit.com and buy any quantity of the most rare things in the game? There is no way some web site staff is farming this stuff is there? Some random guys running a web site couldn't find enough items to keep up right?

So do they like have an agreement with Blizzard to hack? Or is this ran by Blizzard...? I don't get how that operation could work.

As far as I know they're massfarming with bots, it's not legal for them to sell items on d2 but blizzard are most likely too busy with WoW to do a lot about stuff like that in d2.

bots hacks dupes rollbacks exploits... they use whatever they can get.

blizz doesnt care much and never could do much.

just hope that they can deal with that stuff better in d3 or the multiplayer will get really stupid really fast

Takes me back

Once found a pretty good pala skiller charm with life by chance, it turns out it was worth alot. Sold it on such a site and geared up 3 of my chars with the sickest runeword items and uniques for its worth. Service was quite good and none of the items ever disappeared. Can't really remember wtf the sites name was, such a long time ago.

Legit = Closed ( You can't play with singleplayer chars on bnet ) Top option when you load up the game / Should be under the multiplayer option or something

Other = Open ( You can play with singleplayer chars on bnet )/ players can modify ingame data

At some point, they did have a security flaw that was inherit in their system wherein they could trick the server to allowing the "open" ones to play on the "closed" servers. ( Doesn't exist anymore anyways )

If you want to trade with people on d2 ( I believe most of the use d2jsp, but there's also another site out there )

Those sites that sell you items for IRL money = mass bots / they automatically run baal/diablo/mephisto and usually by a paladin or a sorceress character
They have pickit and some other functions ( won't pick up certain items / can identify what item it is without doing so... )

If you ran a baal bot, you can get ~10+ uniques with Mlvl 85+ and in a night ( only the bot would do it faster ) or so some people say
also pickit will keep all runes Ist --> Zod

The bots also have chicken function ( Good for playing HC ) it'll automatically quit the game if the HP goes too low

If you want to mass run for Anni charms, you'd have to open up a tool to check servers/ips and identify the server ip that Über Diablo is on ( not legit to do so, but tons of people do this )

Some modifiers on charms require very high Mlvl ( Baal gives the highest in the game, so any grand charm from baal = good to keep if you got tons of gems to roll with )
You can get +1 Skill type, +40 life ( Mlvl is hidden, so you'll have to memorize them if you picked any items up )

Most sites use dupes or bots, but bots > dupes cause dupes can disappear while botted items won't.
If a site has cheap items i guess it's most likely dupes.

Made 80k off selling d2 items with my college roommate. If i were you, I'd assume that everything is duped especially if you're talking about perfect % items. I'm pretty amazed people still play that game. Vanilla was by far the best when the top gear was rare. The expansion totally ruined that game (and my profit margins).

they have dupes of those rare items, too... if I remember... some were like +40% IAS and ~250 % ED/ lifesteal and some other things...
and then the rings with 7/6% dual leech +13+ stats and +life/mana/resist

oh and if you ever use d2jsp, you can use the FG on that forum for many other games ( neopets included I guess)

Annis are massed on all servers, but it'd be immensely hard for them to get so many if it wasn't for that tool to just straight up locate the one to play on

I think most shops nowedays use bots which are ran from within a virtual machine BUT I'm not sure.

Could be dupes ofcourse.

Thanks for all the replies guys, very helpful. I am curious tho how can you dupe on a closed server where ur character file isn't even stored on your computer? I'm not trying to cheat btw I'm just curious how this all works for these sites that sell items.

The basis of it requires you to cause a lot of lag and you'll want another person when you do this to be safe, but don't bother, as it'd be a ton of trial and error.

You need more than one person. The only reliable way to dupe things is to crash the game server during the middle of it saving character files. Basically, anytime a character leaves or enters a game, the server saves all characters in a game (starting with the character who entered/left) and then sequentially through players 1-8; so you need to lag the hell out of the game, have one character leave the game with the item and have the game crash asap so that the character who had the item originally isn't saved and is rolled back to its last save making it so he has the item as well as the person who left.

Even with ridiculous amounts of lag (they used to have 8 sorcerers spam-cast Meteor, but blizzard added a delay inbetween casting) the time window is a couple seconds at best, and requires either ridiculous timing, a ton of luck, or bots.

My advice is, don't bother. My experience is that it isn't really worth it anyway, more fun to get your own stuff... Me and my friends just got pissed off because everyone else had duped gear, so we figured we shouldn't let them have a competitive advantage. I can't speak for them, but personally it kind of ruined the game for me.

These sites use bots.

Source: Our website for the tl gw2 guild was offered an advertisement deal by gogodly.com.
Upon a broken english discussion, they said noone hacks/lagdupes the game anymore, they use bots.

And don't ask, of course we turned it down.

People like you who duped, hacked and botted ruined the game. The expansion in itself was great.

Yeah, they do use bots. I know some people with 20+ d2 keys and runs all the bots + another application that automatically tracks items on different mules and such and does the transfers by themselves. They don't sell the items for real money, but they trade it on some forum.

I'm pretty sure it's not just bot.

I remember when the last ladder reset occured d2items.com had like 26 ber after something like 13 hours in. They also had a ton of other goldy stuff.

It's just plain impossible to do it legitly (bots are somewhat "legit").

I woudlnt be suprised if the owners of theses sites have contacts with the d2 department at blizzard and pay them off or something.
