As someone who played most arpgs since 99, i can already see all the symptoms of dupe exploit in this game. Unstable servers - check, ability to crash the game and your instance - check, game being developed by an indie studio with no prior experience- check. Only thing that's left is for us to understand the server character save procedure and check if there is a way to rollback your save with either instance / game crash or other methods abused in other games.
I just hope their team has experienced arpg players that played all sorts of arpgs (including private servers of arpgs) to know what kind of exploits to expect. And by experienced players i don't mean PoE because experience in PoE where there were no dupe exploits, won't help.
Dupe exploits are a serious concern and we have taken very special care to avoid them at every step. To date we have never received any item dupe reports that turned out to be real and we have never found or heard of someone finding any way to dupe an item.
This doesn't mean it's not possible but I, along with many other members of our team, played through several different eras of D2 duping and want to prevent it from being possible.
If you find any methods by which items can be duplicated, please contact us directly through our support site contact form.
Edit: this is all just for online, offline is hopefully obviously impossible to prevent duping.
