Apparently there have been credit and item dupes rampant on the Nova TC server which has caused the cost of items to skyrocket in recent weeks.

The community reps/developers of SWGEmu originated 2 polls in as many days asking whether or not a DB wipe is wanted by the community. The credit dupers and loljedi threw an Anakin fit and the second poll ended with many people creating multiple accounts to skew the poll before it was closed apprently cheered on by an actual developer using system messages ingame last night. Keep in mind this poll was to run 1-2 weeks. Before the multiple accounts skewing the poll started it was at 66% in favor of the DB wipe.

In a very SOEish move the SWGEmu staff closed the poll and stated they would not be wiping the DB apparently kowtowing to the dupers, cheaters, and loljedi completely going agianst their statement they made with the original poll which stated: "We won't pander to the QQ'ers, they ruined SWG in the first place".

The original poll threads have since been ninja deleted.

The SWGEmu group has fought through integrity and credibility issues in the past and it seems they did not absorb and of those lessons learned. With the recent SWG:ANH test looking very positive it will be interesting to see how many in the community may jump ship and wait for them to open up a test server.

No further response from the SWGEmu staff was posted at the time of this post.

Is this true? Were there really System Messages sent last night by a dev encouraging No votes? Screen shots, anyone?
