Gold Duping is one of the oldest and often easiest of exploits called duplicating items in World of Warcraft. Depending on the game it can be as simple as quickly dropping and picking up an item over and over until it doubles. In more modern games methods have become more complex as old exploits are patched and players discover new, continually more convoluted tricks. Many of them don't even work, but just the rumor of easy loot is enough to send players off on strange, pointless errands.
In World of Warcraft, for instance, most duping tricks involve trading gold or items to another player and then getting your character rolled back to the state they were at before the trade. This is called Gold Duping.
Gold Duping
Double Your Gold by entering bugged instances, making a character with an inappropriate name and deliberately having it reported, or just conning a GM.
1. Vendor all your gear, then send all your gold to a friend. 2. Log off and delete your character. 3. About 1 hour later, log on as a level 1 character, and page a GM with a reason why your account was deleted. For example: you got in a fight with your brother, so he deleted your character. However, DO NOT say that your account was hacked – Blizzard may launch a full investigation which will result in your account being frozen for weeks. 4. Give them about 8 hours, and they will restore your character back with all your gold. But they don’t take away the gold which you sent to your friend, so just get him to send it back to you (and maybe give him a small percentage), and voila! You’ve doubled your wealth.
Gold Duping in Alterac Valley Dupe
Here is a nifty little bug, which ONLY WORKS INSIDE ALTERAC VALLEY BATTLEGROUNDS:
1. You, as a priest, mind control a player, then cancel the mind control. 2. Another priest mind controls that same player again. 3. Whilst they are mind controlling, you open a trade dialog with the other priest. Normally, this would result in a "player is busy" message. But not in this case. 4. While the trade window is open, trade X gold to the mind controlling priest. Complete the trade. 5. When the other priest cancels the mind control, he will find that he has X more gold added to their stockpile, whilst you...LOST NONE!
Punishment Any GM in any game is going to kick your ass if they catch you gold duping. Some, like in World of Warcraft will kick your ass for even attempting a duping trick, whether it actually works or not.
