Each unique/set item are held a value based on rarity, something like Qlvl*ilvl or a straight %( ie: mang song= 99%, rixot keen= 0.01%)
-
Selling uniques/set to vendors goes toward the Pandemonium Event counter

If you are the one that triggers the event, Dclone spawns in your game, X number of random game that have Baal quest completed see the event trigger as well
Voilà! Now you have a way so that everybody, rich and poor can participate in
Every unique/set item that drop now has a value/meaning and you got a sink/purpose for those items rather than leaving most of them on the ground
That Eth Griffon you find isn’t completely useless anymore, it could exponentially increases your chances of spawning Dclone due to its rarity
There is no reason anymore to sink duped soj, if this stays based on soj, not only only rich people will be able to participate which would kill the community event aspect of it but it would incite people to actually dupe soj to feed the mechanic lol Blizzard should learn from the Indian cobra bounty failure

this wouldn’t be a bad idea, it could work, they would need to have quality level or something in the item description to give you an idea of how much it goes toward progressing the spawn

This would be awful. Imagine needing to grab every set/unique you see and lug it back to town.
No way, terribly tedious.

what currently exists is selling one of the most valuable items in d2 which is duped into oblivion?
and you lug it back to town to ID it via CAIN anyway then sell for gold??

Sounds overly complicated if you ask me. It just gives even more reason for people to hoard a bunch of items they don’t need.
Just make each SoJ have a 25% to 33% chance to spawn DClone, only in that game. It’s simple and it keeps the Annihilus charm rare and expensive, like it’s supposed to be.
Want SoJ’s for your chance? Trade for them or go farm nightmare Andriel.

Most sets/uniques don’t get lugged to town, they get left on the ground and you join a new game. They’re trash not even worth selling for gold, mostly.

its like 3000 andariel runs to even pick up 1-2 SOJ’s lol this is why they are duped so much

Yep. Exactly. Annihilus is supposed to be hard to get. It’s not a participation trophy… A lot of people are so used to having them because of the bots in the original game… Now we’re getting a cold taste of how rare it’s supposed to be.

my point is ive had a bunch of annis and never sold a SOJ or found a soj, so its not rare it is a participation trophy, just be online when the dupers yeild the result???
bots will be back, all blizz games have this problem?
Then you devoid the whole community grind out of the event and base your cost solely on Patching job of the time rather than replacing the obsolete mechanic with a new one that makes more sense
Lol selling unique items is “over complicated” lol

I mean, if you want to be efficient, you can get that down to 1:600 or 1:800.
At least with a 25% to 33% chance per SoJ sale, you don’t have to pay tribute to some group to get a slot, have to keep creating games to find a specific IP (or get restricted trying), or wait for the once in a blue moon time where they do a free Dclone pop which usually you miss out on.

NM Andy is like 1/900 p8 200mf
Pretty sure you can go down to the 700-600s which isn’t that long if each run is like 1min

are you aware of what is being proposed, instead of it solely being a ‘SOJ’ trigger, you have a griffons eye that didn’t roll too well and sold it yielding a DClone, were not saying sell the full cathan’s set and grab an easy SOJ lol… or like 500 shakos idk
thats just as rare and it should be rare.

Here’s the other thing… If SoJ’s are the only means of getting Annihilus, they are going to be the primary target for duping, which makes duping easier for Blizzard to track.
The modern Battle.net platform opens a lot more possibilities for tracking activities versus the original platform, both via automation and human observation.

it does, but it still wont stop it, you will be able to hold un-perm items and the people ‘duping/botting’ will be banned like any other blizz game and buy a new account and mule there booty to another account each evening so they dont lose majority of there profit.
(i hate this, but mark my words it will happen) look at overwatch right now, soooo many cheaters, this will be nothing different

Not if they automatically account bind all items once any evidence of duping is detected.
this could be days, weeks after running it though? you think it would be that swift?
Hackers aren’t the only ones who use automation to their advantage.
