Common Questions:
Q: Why have some of my items of a certain type vanished?
A: Character files were scanned for duplicated items. All duplicate items but one were deleted.
Q: What items were selected for deletion?
A: All rare and unique items were scanned for duplicates.
Q. What constitutes a duplicate item?
A. Any item that was generated by an exploit which created an exact copy of another item.
Q: Why did Blizzard Entertainment only delete some of the dupes, and not every dupe?
A: Blizzard Entertainment wants to maintain an enjoyable and balanced play experience for every user. To that end, we removed all but one duplicate item. We're making an effort to protect those players that legitimately traded for those items.
