s the others mentioned the term 'duped' usually refers to the act of duplicating an item. It is commonly believed that a number of items, that are usually considered to be rare, are being 'duped' and sold to other players.
While many of these items are certainly obtained by the compromise and exploitation of an account, the items themselves are not being 'duped' by them.
It should be noted that the items can be sold by legitimate players as well as those who may have obtained them through illicit means. If you suspect someone of exploiting in some way, please use the right click report feature using the 'cheating' category, so the matter can be looked into.

What is happening is usually a misunderstood process in that the items aren't technically 'Duped'. They will usually use compromised accounts and other exploitative methods to acquire the materials that they are selling.
The accounts that are selling the items are often compromised themselves and you'll see a series of characters often with the same or similar name, offering those items for sale.
It is important to use the right click report feature and report for: Spam, when you see such advertisements. This is the best and quickest method to generate reports on these accounts which can in turn allow the account to be locked when evidence of a compromise is found.

These aren't from hacked accounts either, They obtained by dupes/exploits by either the guild bank/void storage etc.. I won't be going into full detail

This has been said before, it will be said again
Items cannot be duped in WOW.

Every game has dupers, they are just people finding flaws in the game engine. Not something you can Turkey fix.

flat out wrong,

tems are obviously being duped currently

. It would take over 70 years of continuous raiding from a 30 man guild, assuming that a boe will drop from 1 out of 20 adds that you kill in BRF (which the drop rate isn't nearly that high) to farm the ilvl 700 boe's going into just my servers auction house. Running those numbers, it's not even possible for my entire servers population to mythic trash farm that many by staying up and farming BRF trash 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Every single person, every single minute of every single day, won't even come close.
Explanation?
Duping, obviously, duh.

Hey, whatever floats your boat but Vrak knows what he is talking about

No.

Correlation =/= causation

When MoP had a duping pandemic Blizzard customer service directly confirmed a multitude of different times that duping is a thing and they even did 1 time refunds on items that were proven to be duplicated while they explained to the ticket creators how to spot and avoid buying duplicated item

But I'm not going to sit here trying to argue with you. Blizzard customer service confirmed duplicating is a thing and you're misinterpting the article you're quoting. If that's still not enough proof for you, then you're fooling yourself.

If duping doesn't exist please explain why there are regularly 3-7 copies of the exact same mythic warforged items with the exact same secondary bonus stats on my server's AH.

The prices on these BOEs are a fraction of the asking price of other buyers, thereby significantly impacting the economy. Let's not mention the parade of $600 swift spectral tigers being sold for 300k gold.

Please don't try and dupe me into believing that duping doesn't exist.

How much more authoritative or definitive do you need?

Items cannot be duped in WOW.

By 'duping', are you all claiming that people are able to create items out of thin air?
