Pre 1.09 dupes will not dissappear unfortunatly, not unless they plan on wiping out all pre 1.08 items. A lot of the items duped pre 1.09 had no ID tags to verify they were from a duplicate. This is not the case with post 1.08 items. Ith's, Whites, Quarks, Hex, bugged, hacked, etc... these items WILL dissappear, eventually. I've still heard that 'most' of the illegit players retain their items, but since I don't have diablo installed on my computer, this is all hearsay from what I've read on various forums. I presume that eventually the "Ruststorm" will catch up to all these illegal items, but duped pre 1.09 items are here to say, thus the SOJ selling tactic Blizzard has employed.
