The best thing Vetex could do now would be to pay someone with the dupe script to give him the script

Now before you say this idea is ridiculously farfetched and a bad idea in general, hear me out.

If anyone else has already seen the v3rmillion link of the guy selling duped sunken swords, you should know that most people exploiting roblox games have a reason. The two most common reasons are either 1. To gain an advantage in some way or 2. Make a profit off of said exploit. Between 1 and 2, it seems like the latter is more common right now if the threads of dupers selling sunken items for real life currency is anything to go off of. The primary goal right now is not for Vetex to ban the exploiters, because they will inevitably come back on alts - It’s to patch the exploit that is being used to dupe items.

If Vetex is unable to find the loophole in the game that the dupe script is taking advantage of, then the best thing to do is to offer a reasonable sum of money for the script itself. This way, the exploiter would get money (which is what they were originally after most likely) and Vetex would get the script and find out how to patch it.

Edit: I feel there are still some things that I need to clear up about this recommendation. I am not taking into account the price of buying this script. However, if he is capable of getting an offer with someone, realistically it wouldn’t be so high. Think about it - for people duping for profit, there is no way for them to make money off of their dupe anymore. Trading will stay closed until it is patched, so the only real incentive the exploiter could have at that point is selling it directly to Vetex himself or a staff member. I also don’t believe that only one person has this script. Although I’ve only seen one publically display usage of the dupe script, chances are there are at least more people with the script as the original v3rmillion post was ~4 days ago. I don’t really think that “ur nose noob” is the one who made the script either considering he made a post saying he needed help with his math homework that looks like it’s from fucking 8th grade (which I mean really you just need to use a calculator). Even then, he obviously has it so there must be others with it as well. Of course, Vetex wouldn’t spend like $200 just for the script because that would be ridiculous and he would (hopefully) have found the loophole by then, but disabling trading for a long period of time can seriously harm RPGs’ player numbers (like World of Magic of course).

Edit 2: Had to make another clarification because people keep coming up with the same two points. What so many people seem to have a problem with is working with hackers in general, as if its in a sense of their honor that working with exploiters is FORBIDDEN and you’re “giving them what they want” which are both stupid reasons and really, really a simple-minded approach. We know literally nothing about the people that have this script, but chances are at least one was doing it for profit. What the exploiter probably wanted was to profit off of that script, which is why vetex disabled trading. But then again, nobody knows who these exploiters are like. Maybe they do want to watch the world burn, as some of you seem to be implying? We don’t know. This is more of an optimistic approach to a problem that could linger on for a long time.

And about that.
You aren’t looking at the bigger picture, which is that this trade lock might not go away for a long time. This is a potential solution that is the easiest way out of this issue, and unless you have a better idea to getting a script that only so few people have without paying them, tell me. “Just fix the dupe” doesn’t seem to work, considering I’m not even sure vetex knows how to fix it either and even if he DOES think he’s found a patch, he will have no way of knowing because he doesn’t have the fucking dupe script! This is the only way to ensure that the script can be patched, there is no other alternative solution than to get the actual script.

No, cause then exploiters would constantly go after his game to earn profit from it.

lol no thats a really stupid idea. why would u pay an exploiter in first place, u pretty much agreed to the exploiter’s term if u do so. i think vetex decision is a smart one which was disabling trading for a while to prevent this.

4

also this sounds awfully like giving the terrorist what they want so they can stop bombing places

5

if the terrorist wants 40 bucks not to do 9/11 again, I’d give him the 40 bucks.

I’m not saying that he should do this every time some major exploit comes out, but if he can’t figure out how to fix this soon then it’s kinda the last option left

Bruh what? You’re not agreeing with someone’s terms by paying them to get their exploit, it’s to stop them from destroying the WOM economy. If anything, the exploiter is forfeiting their method of earning money by giving Vetex the code so they wouldn’t just give it to him for free. All it takes is one person who happens to have the code and is looking for some money and this can all be over. He can either let these dupers run rampant until he manages to find a patch which could take who knows how long or take the easy way out and just pay someone for the script. I literally said the exact same thing in my post so it’s obvious you didn’t bother reading it.

Dumb as shit analogy btw, why would you not put your own money over potentially other people’s lives?

8

u underscaled it a bit too much like alot alot

9

exploiter that sells exploit are greedy. they could make way more overtime depending on how much vetex would pay for it. now knowing that vetex is looking for the script its more likely that the exploiter never even sold the script in the first place and is keeping it to himself which is more common than you think

10

btw im not referring to money in the analogy bruh. there is also the case of pride and not being a sellout.

11

What do you mean by underscaling? Do you mean the terrorist would ask for more than 40 bucks? Because I’m getting that number based on the max of what someone would ask Vetex for, in exchange for the script. And please, don’t tell me not to compare terrorist price ranges and exploiter price ranges - you’re the guy who brought it up in the first place. Hell, let’s look closer at that.

Excellent use of the strawman argument by the way - not. You literally compared an exploiter, in a lego game, to a FUCKING TERRORIST. oh no they’re gonna dupe some items in my lego game, that’s an awful lot like blowing up the twin towers with a couple planes and killing thousands of people!

There’s nothing wrong with paying an exploiter to give you the code.
“you pretty much agreed to the exploiter’s term”
Yeah, please cut the bullshit. I know it’s hard, but make an effort. If the exploiter is willing to cough up the code for money, and it isn’t an exorbitant sum of money, why not? Is it some retarded sense of honor, to never work with an exploiter?
Get real dude, it’s a win win. No more duping, and the exploiter gets some cash.

Kindly stop using 12 year old logic to try and go “no it’s bad to work with exploiters they’re terrorists!!!”

For someone who is (supposedly) not involved with exploiters, you seem to overgeneralize them to quite an extent. I don’t think exploiters care about “selling out” to developers. People who dupe tend to do it for profit, and if the ability to profit off of said exploit is stripped from them then there’s nothing left to capitalize on except selling the code. Maybe some exploiters do have that “sense of honor” as you call it, but odds are that at least one with the script just doesn’t really give a shit about that.

The only thing holding this possibility back is Vetex’s relentless attitude towards exploiters, but given what happened with exploiters in Arcane, I’m not surprised he acts that way. Though it’s not really like it has to be Vetex himself to buy it, it just depends on how much money a single person is willing to pitch in to put someone else’s game out of (for lack of a better term) essentially video-game purgatory and the demands of a single person holding onto a soon-to-be defunct script.

lol that was an anology and u are getting too heated over this topic

14

analogy*
too*

But seriously, I commend you. You’ve pulled the two most pathetic arguments in the book.

  1. Shitty strawman’s argument (you don’t know what that is, do you. It’s fine, google is your friend)
  2. “wow bro i’m not serious why are you so serious about this, chill please i’m not wrong you gotta relax”

Seriously, someone suggests a valid solution to a problem, and you go

and then you proceed to prove that more shit comes from your mouth than your ass in your next 3 posts or so.

It’s not a stupid idea. It’s actually a pretty good one, and I would take it if I were in Vetex’s place. Don’t try and put people’s ideas down for the sake of it, ESPECIALLY if they’re good.

Kindly do not talk anymore, thanks.

im just saying, associating with unknown exploiters dosent end well most of the time. this might be an option but it isnt the best option

16

im just not interested in the topic anymore and just answer for the sake of answering so i just threw some half baked response but if thats what you think then it is what it is. I still stand with the idea not being the best option and still think its not eh best. shouldnt have added the analogy then

18

the backtrack is real boys.

I mean, everyone is entitled to their opinions. That’s just not the normal way of expressing them.
I’m heading off for the night, so adios.

19

we can hagle with the 14 yesr old to give us the script for some vbucks like how in lego indiana Jones we hagled with the monkey with a banana

20

Associating with unknown exploiters :thinking:

Saying that it would associate Vetex with hackers is like saying how google hires actual hackers to find problems with their website. Maybe out of context it sounds bad, but it really is the easiest option rather than just brute forcing a solution until something happens.

21

thats because google got a leash on their hackers and are signed on a legal contract but if thats what you think then oh well this got extended way to much.
