I'm not saying that there's obvious things, like 38 att VSS are obviously hacked and should be deleted, but like a perfected empress weap could be duped but theres still the chance that its legit.
Right, but the empress equips aren't as much of a concern as things like 38 attack VSS and such, which should completely be wiped out of the game. And as for the equips which we can't tell for sure whether they're duped/illegally-generated, there's probably other, behind-the-scenes ways to check.
What would we rather do in a scenario like this:
Item A with 30 attack is massively duped.
Someone makes an item B with 30 attack legitly by being extremely lucky with chaos scrolls.
Should we keep item A in the game because it's possible to make it legitly, or should we delete both item A and B (if both are completely indistinguishable from one another)? The answer is simple. I say we delete both in that situation because the damage in keeping item A has much more implication than the benefits of Item B for one or a few unlucky non-cheating players.
