But there are reasonable and unreasonable assumptions about where items came from.
Reasonable to assume it's legit: Epic potted clean items with bad stats and "crafted by somenoob".
Unreasonable to assume it's legit: 27 att VSS with "M4PleHermit's" item tagged onto it. Insert ign of whatever dupers smega a lot on Khaini; that guy's on Bera.
Reasonable: Someone selling 15 PoTs.
Unreasonable: Someone selling 700 PoTs.
I can say with confidence my gear is legit because I didn't buy it in the FM. Some of the scrolls on it, I'm not completely certain - but at the time I was buying them, there were no public dupe hacks, or even rumors of private ones. Sure, I may have saved the odd 1-2mil on them because item farmers deflated costs - but I'm not running around with a weapon that is literally tens of billions cheaper due to hackers.
