Large groups turning a blind eye

[Timberfox 2]

I have spied on a couple of large Dayz organization. Far too many people gladly take gear from their tents camps that is clearly duped or hacked. This hurts the 'state' of the game just as much as the hackers. In my opinion it is worse then hacking, because you are legitimizing that sort of hacking mentality for your community.

Admitting that you are a spy is never good on the forums, but today i realized now was an important time to mention this. If the dev team wasnt focused on anti hacking, we would of had the ray casting zombies of 1.7.1 earlier this week; which i assume are zombies with frikin lasers attached to their heads.

Anyways, i wont blabber on too much, but i would like to hear other group's opinions and stories about this.

I agree, the duping is really terrible in DayZ.

With that said, duping is so incredibly prevalent in DayZ that it happens quite often without people even trying to do it on purpose.

For example, I've had a clan member who's battle eye stopped responding while he was a passenger in one of our vehicles and his body fell out with all his loot and for all intents and purposes he was dead, completely lootable as a normal dead body.

Upon reconnection he was still alive, where he had fallen out, with all of his gear.. so everything on him was completely duped and he didn't even intend for this.

Have had similar things happen with us putting equipment in vehicles and then the server crashes/we disconnect to change servers to one that we have a different kind of vehicle on if we are doing a raid with 4+ people and they have loaded into those servers with the gear they had before they put it in the truck sorta thing.

That in my opinion sucks even more than the actual dupe glitches people have to go out of their way to do - because most players accept it as the games fault and will keep the items that have been duped on accident to a server reset where as I have only ever met two players in a few hundred hours of DayZ that actually went out of their way to purposefully dupe items, everyone else I have met thinks that completely ruins the fun of the game which it does.
