Am I wrong about the ability to cheat items in PoE, or do you simply disagree with my opinion on game economies?

There were sevreal threads this week on POE reddid and the POE GD forum covering how some people in the past abused Gameweaknesses (Rollbacks of Servers, Duping Items through gameglitches) and got filthy rich by it.

Coded games do have possible gameweaknesses. Its inevitable. If someone finds it and abuses it, they can get an advantage of it, as long as they fly under the radar. You should inform yourself on the topic before posting assumptions.

Honestly the most successful way to prevent such behaviour is to change the games direction in its emphasis on economy and wealth management (particularly in later stages of the game). Taking a leaf from games like WoW which let you do most of the content without having to resort to specific trading (i.e. self found)

That is antithetic to PoE's design goals however, so I don't see it happening anytime soon. PoE dev's have outright stated they don't want a SF league.

In other words, this problem will last for PoE's eternity, unless its direction changes

I'm so sad that I didn't stumble upon that /hideout dupe trick before it got fixed. =(

P.S. - Anyone who was lucky enough to accidentally discover that trick should have been quiet with it. I would have been...
