Report of Persistent Duplication Activity on Official Server 1465 (Xbox) - Resulting in Player Disengagement Dear Bohemia Interactive Anti-Cheat / Community Team, I am writing to report a highly disruptive and discouraging instance of item duplication that my friend and I encountered on Official Xbox Server 1465. This issue has significantly impacted our gameplay experience to the point where we have decided to uninstall the game. During our recent play session, we encountered a team of three individuals whom we definitively identified as dupers. Our conclusion was based on the overwhelming evidence of their excessive resources: we discovered approximately 10 to 25 chests, all completely filled with nails, 4-digit combination locks, and various other building supplies. This sheer quantity of rare building materials is unequivocally indicative of item duplication. Furthermore, these players were consistently equipped identically, possessing the same weapons and even the exact same ammunition counts. This uniformity in their gear further reinforced our suspicion of widespread duping within their group. We also know their current approximate location: they are residing on the roof of the gas station in Berezino. While I understand the complexities of anti-cheat enforcement and that direct bans may not always be immediately visible or guaranteed, it is incredibly disheartening to realize that such persistent and blatant cheating often goes unpunished. This unchecked exploitation fundamentally undermines the core survival mechanics and the dedicated effort players invest in DayZ. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We wanted to provide this final feedback as we have now uninstalled the game due to this ongoing frustration

I believe that even a single ban could deter them and instill a sense of fear. However, it seems you are not taking such action, likely because there's no active administration on the server. I would gladly perform this work for free, just so other ordinary players could truly enjoy the game. They could build bases, communicate with their friends, and find new ones for trading and resource exchange.

We have been at war with them for exactly one month. This wasn't our first encounter. We killed them repeatedly, destroyed their vehicles, dismantled their bases, and meticulously searched all their stashes. All of this was done solely to make them leave the server. We succeeded with 2 out of 5 players, but that's simply not enough.

For two days, we played peacefully and even managed to build a base and find friends with whom we exchanged resources. But then, we again noticed a suspiciously fast-built base. We investigated, and it was them once more. We simply cannot endure another such exhausting month. Our efforts weren't for our personal gain, justice, or revenge. We wanted other people to play the game, build bases, communicate, and engage in warfare, and have more time for all of that.

These individuals dupe massive amounts of grenades, and bases that normal players would spend 1-3 hours raiding are destroyed by them in just 10 minutes. This is fundamentally unfair to other players. Unfortunately, due to a lack of any control, this game has devolved into a playground for those who better understand how to exploit the game's weaknesses. I even considered doing the same and thought about it. We even contemplated duping a grenade launcher with a huge amount of ammo to blow up that gas station with 100 shots. But I realized I have no desire to wallow in filth and go against my principles.

Eventually, they will tire of building, tire of shooting, tire of collecting cars. They will then proceed to raid every single base. After that, people who have invested countless hours will abandon the game. Because you are seemingly afraid to ban 3 bad individuals, many good players will leave the game
