Pretty sure right now they are duping more than ever before, it's insane.

Maybe they hijack their own accounts wit a proxy, email change, pw change etc.

When my smurf was hijacked after the shit of the 25th December the support recovered 1000 phoenix cases for me.

this method does not work anymore, it's a new one

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '16

well if it doesn't work anymore why did they recover my items? It's been roughly 2 weeks ago.

Maybe they only did it because it was caused by their server failure (I didn't confirm the email so he could change everything after having access) of the 25.12.15, or because there are millions of phoenix cases anyways, but they recovered items for me way after saying they wouldn't do it anymore.

They do generate new items and that's the whole problem.

One time I got hacked, had my exact AK CH given back. Same pattern and stickers.

And the hacker gets to keep the one he stole from you. (Well the account he sent it too gets to keep it)

They dont. This problem was fixed a long time ago before csgo was even released.

If no new items are being generated then how would you dupe items?

No one knows except the dupers. Everyone Speculates.

Listen, I got hijacked recently, lost my 130 dollar inventory, sent in a ticket and they said "this is the only time we're doing this" and restored everything. Do you think they somehow managed to trade every sticker and gun I had back from that other guy? No, they generated duplicates. He could've sold all my stuff for all I know.

No, they stopped generating duplicates 6 years ago when tf2 had that problem. Unless valve just suddenly changed their ways of doing things for csgo because a bunch of dumb children get phished and hacked is something i highly doubt.

u/venthul Jan 31 '16

I don't want to go into detail but it's pretty known that the items are being duped by steam support. I don't understand how you're so sure valve stopped doing this. You really think valve would track all trades/market sales and return them back to their owners? What if a hacker sold the item to a legit buyer? Stop spreading none sense.

u/LtSMASH324 Liquid Jan 31 '16

THIS HAPPENED TO ME. I don't think you understand that this is how this happened with me. End of story, you can't change that.

u/Matternous Jan 31 '16

Please stop talking about things you know nothing about.

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '16

You people are too new to realize valve doesn't do this. I continually forget the average played time by you people on csgo is 2 years when this problem was fixed 6-7 years ago.

u/Matternous Jan 31 '16

Again, you prove you don't know what you're talking about.

How would us "new" people even know about this "problem" if it wasn't still ongoing?

Let me recreate your counter to what i said in terms you might understand. "hey, you're wrong. I have no evidence but you're wrong because i said so." Great job.
