If you start duping cars in real life, then you are doing something wrong.

This is only a game and as it gives you no advantage over anyone else it's a non topic.

It is not exactly in the game...

Well, it really is. After all, what are we discussing here? Duping of your COD stuff? Duping of your GTA data? You're able, through the abilities and functions that Sony/PD put *IN THE GAME* and *IN THE PS3*, to back up your data and to "dupe" cars. If you didn't have GT5, you certainly could never dupe the cars in it. ;)

i know, but i am afraid of being banned because of dupping cars...

LOL, when you dupe a car you're technically not doing anything wrong, you're using features that PD/Sony implemented, albeit in a different way then they were intended, it's more of a moral issue than anything.
 
Its just not an honest way to play. I don't agree with the notion that PD actually supports duping, but I do agree that they unlocked the file to allow back ups.

It depletes value tremendously. It is unfair for this reason: Anyone who shelled out extra money for the bonus cars that only came with Collector's/Signature now get to see that their precious cars which they obtained the way that was intended, can now be placed in the hands of any shmuck.

Gifting and backing up saves is not the issue, they're in place to help us. When I see a "Duplicate Car" feature within the game, I'll accept it as a part of PD's design.

Cant doup or trade the stealth or chromeline cars. People with the CE, preorder or SE cars are the only ones who can have them.

unless you live in Japan, and then for Xmas PD gifts you all the CE cars.....And people complain about douping when PD doups the only "special" cars in the game to a whole nation.
 
Id admit that i dupe all of my cars all the time before sending. Ive never lost a car. I dont think its "cheating" at all. Its good Strategy for Collecting.
How does anyone else feel about "duping".
Sorry if there is already a Thread for this.
 
I have never done it myself but couldn't care less if others do, the possibility is there so do it if you like.
There are already many threads on this and I'm pretty sure duping threads are a no-no.
This will likely get locked.
 
it doesn't really mean anything anymore if you legitimately got your X1. but what ever, people can play the game how they want to.
 
I myself do not like it...and if someone does it wrong and loses their cars...then's it's their loss...I like to earn my cars and it is considered cheating if you are copying cars for yourself and trading others.
 
I have to agree with SS_1182. Threads on duping usually explode into arguments between the people who are for it and the people who aren't.

There are already many threads debating this subject to death.

I... couldn't care less....

Congratulations on having a superior grasp of the English language, relative to at least 90% of the rest of the English-speaking populace. Almost everybody gets that phrase wrong and they don't understand how they're in error. Cthulhu bless you.

This response is so ironic it's not even funny. Please continue this "discussion" in one of the other 1000 thread arguments on duping vs not duping.


Search feature is your friend.
 
Though I'm against duping, this thread is pointless, and will be locked...

We don't need another thread..

Thanks! (I'm a career English teacher, I should hope my English is OK!)
 
I think they should ban dupers.
Just my opinion. They can give players an advantage over others.
Problem? Come at me bro.
 
The OP just has to be less than 15 years old. I don't see how a mature adult can care how other people are playing this game.

Elitists, elitists, elitists, everywhere I look on this site. I won't be surprised if all of them have a combined age of 100.

Please tell me, after entering race restrictions, how does another player's duped car affect your performance online. Give me a coherent answer or don't bother.
 
Funny thread, but I seriously doubt that Sony will ban anyone for duplicating their cars. I think that duplicating is a work around the tedium that is grinding in this game, which is much worse than any GT game I have played previously. Not sure why anyone has a problem with it to begin with, how can you cheapen "rare" cars? That's a load of tosh, since we all know that the UCD is on a fixed rotation, how rare are those cars considering that the rotation has a definite beginning and end? Much ado about nothing I guess, or perhaps just saying things because you assume there is some kind of value/merit to cars being rare. No cars are really rare in GT5, for that to be true then the cycle would be randomized and true rare cars would almost never show up and you would be talking about it online with others have you found this car yet, with a lot of replies "no". Toss the "rarity" reason out the window, makes no sense considering how the game is built.

Honestly those who are against it, can you actually give a valid reason how duplicating cars, paint jobs, horns or anything else you can gift affecting you in an online race? To be fair and non argumentative, a completely valid reason would make sense and I'm pretty sure that everyone would look at that objectively.

Oh and it's not Sony banning anyone, it's actually Treyarch doing the banning.
 
I don't really see duping as a legitimate action, but whatever. If you didn't earn the car, then you shouldn't be using it but,again,whatever.

Your duped car isn't going to beat me by cheating, so it doesn't really matter.
 
I'm pro choice. If you want to duplicate your cars, then do it. If you don't, that's cool to.

Personally I duplicate all of mine when trading. I also backup my account before purchasing expensive cars and send to an alternate account so it does not cost me any credits.

I never race online, so it does not affect anyone else.

I have a lot of fun playing this game, and thats really all that matters.

what he said
 
I havent duped yet but I probably will at some point in the future and in all honesty im not bothered who knows...I will play MY game I bought with MY hard earned cash the way I want to with MY friends online so I dont have to listen to all you complainers moaning!!! Geez its a computer game grow up!
 
All I care about online is clean races and not being crashed into or the corners cut.

I really not bothered if we are all in X2010s or FGT's least then everyone is in the same car and the race should be fair then and down to player ability and skill in controlling the cars.

And you can always restrict the BHP for the lobby, or have it has host fixed cars.

I rather have fair races though, and not rammed off the road if I'm leading, its not allowed in real life and if I'm hosting, I will kick that person for ramming me on purpose.

Back to offline for me, and for the record the Chromeline cars and Stealth cars can not be traded and are fixed on the PS3's HDD.

I only send cars to my friends if they are really stuck for cash or just can't so the races. Also one my friends sent me a car to tune it for him and his set up was a mess, not now. Then sent it back.


As said its only a game, a game I paid for with my cash, on a console I paid for with my cash, on the broadband connection I pay for etc. If I want to dupe because a trade has been lost then I will.

And I will back my save up to USB or my PSP, because of the worst case sceanario, PS3 death could happen at anytime.

enough with "my cash my console my game etc..." you are simply cheating , no need to find excuses "i have three kids" , "i don't have time to race" "endurance races are boring" , if you don't like racing why buy gt in the first place , u could just buy need for speed or some other racing game where u don't have to spend your precious time " doing races " anyway , it's not your fault , it's PD's .
also i don't think sony can ban anyone for duping cars ,since PD knew what would happen when they unlocked the save game file .

Some of us, do other things then play computer games all day. We work, do motorsport for real etc. Oh I do have time to race thanks, working 3 days a week does help and I win quite nicely using a mundane car with hardly any mods, I only mod them for my B-spec Bob as he is 🤬 And I'm a GT fanboy anyway and not keen on NFS. And I love endurance races, as I get my mates round too and have a good time.

If you lost your data (corruption, YLOD) and wasn't able to back it up you'll be really 🤬 won't you.
 
i have other things to do in life too , i'm not that good in gt5 , 28a 24b , but i enjoy making money and buying cars legitimately . i wish everyone could do the same , but now that there is a shortcut , ppl will use it .
