Do you think Duping is ok to make backup weapons?

[mdbrim2004]

i agree- ONLY backup. i recently got a handgun:milla by some miracle, its now duped so i have 2 of them on different memory cards. that way, theres only ONE time that i could loose them both, and if it seems likely to be a powercut then i wouldnt do it (transfer characters accross my mem cards- i think that would corrupt both if there was a power cut). ive managed to fsod myself 3 times while learning how to dupe, but i was only using a varista (not exactly like i need another :S) and now i know, i feel much better- theres NO way that spare milla is coming out of the bank unless i get a corruption on my other memory card, in which case ill remake it and dupe again so its safe. frankly, i dont care about any other of my rares because i mostly have a lot of them/they are easy to get. i mean, i wouldnt dupe my justy or FS cos their so easy to get.

backup duping=go for it
trading dupes=illegit.

think of it this way- its world war 3, and your in a trench. suddenly, your ordered to attack, and are offered body armour (backup duping) to save you against the bullets (FSOD) and you reject it. i may never understand why you do this, but its your stuff...

It may only corrupt one memory card when doing the transfer, because its two separate saves. First it saves from the transferring card, then it saves on the card it is transferred to. So if the power cuts, it will most likely only corrupt the card thats being saved at the time. The character being transferred may suffer from corruption though.
