OK, allow me to put it in another way, do you copy every DVD, CD, VHS you buy, as a precautionary measure of in case your house gets burgled, I seriously doubt it, but you dupe, (I'm sorry, I'll use the terms that make you feel better about yourself), back-up your items, is it so hard to just find a 2nd weapon, then storing it on a 2nd memory card, if you get total FSOD, you've even lost those items that you've stored anyhow, so you're not getting anything back.
That's what I do, find another of the same weapon, then put it on a 2nd memory card, they're not that expensive y'know, just boot it up every so often, and put all your spare items onto it.
Oh, and get house insurance, tee-hee.
At the end of the day, you're saying you're legit, but you back-up weapons, by this theory, if I gave someone a Psycho Wand for 30secs, that then becomes their weapon, so they could "back-up" the weapon, then decide they don't want it, and generously give it back to me, (though I refuse to do this for anyone), and since it was their item at the time, they was making a "back-up" and not a dupe.
It's merely a excuse created by those too worried about their own rep on the net, thinking it's worth a dam, so they can lie to theirselves, and put them on the same level as someone who actually plays the game how it's meant to be played, or is the page about "backing-up" items just missing from both of my manuals, 'cos I don't think Sega put it in their intentionally, saying that, it's their fault if they're too lazy to patch it, but in the same breath, that those who do it, shouldn't put themself on the same exalted level as those of us who, if we lose a wep, (such as the Elysion I lost last month), we don't make out like we only made a back-up, 'cos a fictional weapon was our only friend.
It's sort of like a contradiction you saying it ain't wrong, that's like me saying I'm a non-smoker except for cigarettes, (if I smoked).
Perhaps I might be a pacifist, except for kickboxing.
The day you back-up all your DVD's, CD's and VHS's, is the day that "backing-up" your items won't be considered "duping" by the real legit players.
