I just got x-logged for 1b in duel arena. Just warning all of you who stake. Don't do high stakes or at least make your opponent relog before the fight. I'm not even 100% sure if relogging helps this time.

By x-log I mean the opponent disappears making you wait in the arena for 15 minutes. After that the match will be tie and both will get items back.

ouchhhhhh 1b did u report him

:o You didn't lose 1b did you?

There's probably no way to prevent yourself from being x-logged, only thing you can do is to duel with people who are well-known to be 'legit'…but that can be hard.

Well I didn't lose but I would have won if he didn't x-log so I kinda lost 1b..

Me too but apparently there is new methods.

Oh god.. People are finding new ways of scamming. Lame…. :fiery:

This is why I don't ever stake. Half the time there is a bug that is getting abused.

So x-logging is just forfeiting without the penalty?

Not as bad as some duel arena glitches in the past lol

At least it didn't make you lose. Sucks when you get scammed that way though.

The most irritating part is that you have to wait 15 minutes to end the match. If they x-logged and you would just get insta-tie, it would not be as irritating…

It's always leaving the arena without leaving the game, usually by leaving another game with a force tele, e.g I think soon after dung was released how it went was you were in a dungeon with someone, got out of there with the game still thinking you're in the dungeon, went to a duel and if you were losing you got your party to quit the dungeon and u appeared outside of daemonheim or something…

There was that, and there was also another one where you started a duel with an alt account, made the opponent acc go to the door to quit but just wait without accepting, wait until the 15 mins is up, and you'd apepar outside but the opponent acc would be still in there, waiting.
SO then you'd take a duel with someone, and if you are losing you'd make the previous opponent acc accept the defeat and you'd be tele'd out of the arena and receive the spoils from the previous duel and get your stake for the last one back.

Your chance of winning becomes 0 while your chance of losing remains ~50%, how is that not bad? Even if assuming no glitches, staking is still 50-50 (since everyone style switch/pid check nowadays) so isn't it just a waste of time with 0 net profit?

Not if you get lucky ;o.

Well since other duel arenas would allow people to make the enemy insta lose or dupe max cash stacks over and over, yes this one is not as bad.

I'm not sure what is the definition of luck? A series of probability events in which the result favors you due to non-zero standard deviation? The expected profit is zero no matter the trials, and as sample size approaches infinity, your profit will approach zero.

In a mathematical sense, unless having $0 instead of $100 is marginally less unfortunate compared to the extra benefits of having $200 instead of $100 (eg. when you only desire an object that costs $200, and a doubling of your current asset of $100 is not feasible in the short run through reliable methods), gambling is just a waste of time. (that is, considering that you dont get glitched!)

Not necessarily. Let's say one day you go staking, and someone glitched and you lose 1bil, you will stop immediately until the glitch is fixed.
But in this case, if weequ legitimately lost to the opponent (due to probability going against him), he may have continued staking (and losing) since he don't know if there is a glitch yet, until he finally start winning, of which the glitch only show itself now so he ended up losing much more than an obvious instant lost glitch right at the start of first match.
