Putting a stop to duping

[Nedak 10]

Is there any way to assign every item with it's own unique random generated serial number? This way if duplicates of said item exist the database will recognize it as already existing and as a result not allow for the duping to continue.

I feel like this would fix many many issues.

There are easier ways to fix item duplication. Item duping happens due to an exploit in the lag between client side, server side, and database side.

It'll all be fixed soon, don't worry.

Im not sure this would work (hell, most days, I can barely type, according to my iPad), but duping seems to me to be a big problem in the mod. I think and hope that it will be addressed next patch.

I am very much against this. So much so that I have decided to take things that only appear to be spawns, and not take things off of dead players. (yes, I know that dropped, duped items would still show up, but what more can I do?)

How would this not work? Many other games do the exact same thing.
