I posted what the conversation was in it's entirity. I don't think my views were either said as I wanted them to be, or maybe information was omitted I would have like put it. If you do not want this post here Ivan, I will gladly erase it. It's your article after all. ^ ^
Quote:Ivan: where do you beleive the Tsumikiri J-sword came from? Do you think sega brought it in like they do with the eegs like they sometimes add new weps for holidays? do you think it was hacked? or hex edited?
decswxaqz: At the minute, it's hacked. There has not been any confirmed instances of anyone either
A) Finding it. It's not on any drop charts
B) Unsealing the Unsealed J-Sword, if there is any relation between them at all.
It's obviously a real weapon, because it's located on the disc. Noone has managed to make any useful codes on the GC to bring the Tsu J-Sword from nothing. It's just a case of when ST release it officially if ever. Although, there is the problem of ST banning items. Certain items are still banned, which suggests that the Tsu J-Sword is possible, because it's not been banned. It's just that noone has found how to make one properly.
Ivan: *removed* my reasons
Ivan: well last question
Ivan: what do you think of it?
decswxaqz: of what? the sword?
Ivan: yeh
decswxaqz: Don't know. Never had one. Looks ok from what I've seen. Don't want one anyway now. They've become synonymous with duping, so if I had one, people would think I duped, which I most certainly do not want to happen. If you can get it legitly at the time being, then leave it as it is. If you can't, then it should be banned. Anyone found in possession with one should be banned for a month. Since there would be no official way of getting it at the minute, it means you have either hacked or duped it, which is against the TOS. You are found with it again, banning for life.
Ivan: pretty harsh dont you think there should be a way for ST to find out how?
decswxaqz: find out how?
Ivan: weather its a copy or not?
decswxaqz: There's no way to work out if it's a copy really. All you can go off is the %s. But it's common for rares to have the same %s, so you couldn't do a blanket ban on everyone with [insert duped weapon] and 50%Hit. Someone could have found one legitly with that, that's not fair. You can ban everyone with a hacked item, like some of the music discs, and the Flame Garment BEFORE it was released. Any item, not yet possible to get, should be banned, anyone found in possession with one gets a banning too. That shouldn't be a problem for everyone. Not everyones a hacker and so will never come across it, if they play by the rules. As said above, it's against the TOS, you should be banned first time. Although, part blame does have to go to SEGA for making some of the glitches accessible. Some seem to be sloppy coding, but every game has coding errors. NOTHING, is 100% perfect. It's just that people spread these glitches around, so it's common knowledge now.
