Update: there are now 6 different players known to have the same item.

Check out their Offhand "Arcanum mind". Probably one of the best sources in the game. Worth 500mill++

This thread will probably be deleted soon, but in an effort to hold the forum moderators at bay, I disclaim:

This is not a discussion of a "hack", nor a method to dupe, or anything along those lines. It is merely a discussion of the observation that 6 players have the exact same godly item.

Update #2:
One of the item owner's profiles is now unavailable?

https://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Faetal-1219/hero/22731568
"Profile Unavailable
The profile for this account is unavailable due to limited service availability."

Update#3:

The player who's profile was unavailable now works again.
This same player also has 2 of the same amazing rings.
Other players also have the same Ring "Damnation Shelter":

If anyone else sees other players with these items, please post, and I'll update this thread. Hopefully it will catch the right person's attention.

Another quote of this thread


Since this is obviously relevant I will post this here as well.

There are 6 IDENTICAL lvl 63 rare bows on the AH Right Now!

Search for:

Attack Speed: 11

Crit damage: 60

Look for 1017.9 dps

Yes, I know this is very old news:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6079712152?page=1

And NO you cannot buy these from a vendor! I don't know what fanboy started that rumor but there is no evidence for it (other than some bad photoshops). No vendors sell lvl 63 items OR multiple copies of rares. If you could, don't you think that people would just farm vendors instead of playing the game and when you find a good item...invite your friend and buy HUNDREDS of them filling up your stash, etc...get real people...

I have countless hours in this game. To see a possible dupe will crush me.
It's official! Duping does work, I bet!
Blizz, what you going to do about it?

Aren't you guys impressed with that?!

Same thing that happens in World of Warcraft people abuse the GM's to get rolled back and "dupe" items. As far I as am aware there is no real dupe and this is a just a isolated issue. I did however have two identical items drop for me once but the odds of 6 dropping all at once are too high.

More so if someone could dupe they would not be gearing their character to play the game rather they would just infinitely dupe gold and rare items to sell on the real money auction house.

I think this dupe method is related with some AH issue, like selling the same item to more than one buyer.

The battle.net forum that I quoted shows that the probabiity of having that same item is 1 out of 4,784,474,572,579,344,957,650,000,000,000 LOL

I'm not too worried about it since it still seems pretty isolated. If it starts happening more often, then I'll get worried. Blizzard has to be taking this seriously. Until evidence to the contrary, I'm going to choose to believe it's extremely rare.

Agreed.

This does beg the question of how these player profiles were found...

Haha I was wondering the same thing. It seems very unlikely that the OP of the thread just randomly started viewing people's profiles and was like, "Oh hey, they have the same item!"

The OP found about about the 6 items when he went to on of the sites that ranks the top-10 players in each category - the site ranks the top 10 barbs, wizzies, dh's, monks and wd. When he looked at the top-10 wizzies he noticed that 6 of the top 10 had on the similar gear and figured out there was some funny business going on.

Can't fault the OP - he actually did some pretty good detective work.
