    Default Found an "of of" item in a lowbie chest the other day...

    First off, I have no proof other than my word. In a lowbie run this TR I saw a masterwork item named "Masterwork Scepter of of Power I". (Or was it power II?)

    Is this a sooper secret way of letting us craft items with more than 1 prefix or suffix?

    Note: This was on the live servers.

    Sounds more like another typo missed by Turbines crack proof readers...

    Turbine: We know your not hurting for cash, Might I suggest maybe spend a couple bucks and hire a proofreader? Not a code worker, just someone who reads descriptions, and finds errors...

    I don't mean to be harsh, but when your birthday event is so full of description errors that a decent proofreader would catch... I'm sorry it is downright Embarrassing to buy air elemental gems just to find they are water elementals, and have to buy the water elemental gems to get air elementals...

    Youd think after the huge income boost they got from going F2P and the warning bros acquisition theyd be hireing a lot more..

    Yet we only ever see posts from the same devs, as if they have never gotten a single new one. Tho oddly they just hired a buncha new moderators.. So they are concerned about keeping the forum clean if not the game.

    Guess more money doesn't means more/better updates for us.

    Everyone who speaks german or france can tell you: It's even worse with the translations. There can't be any native speakers envolved. Everything reads like it was made with the google translation tool.

    If it's easier to solve bugs using public relations specialists, that's the direction they chose. Although it takes time for a newcomer to settle in because this is already a game with millions lines of code, I guess.

    Guess the company got stripped of wealth and now is like a dog - brings little cash, invest little cash in it - and it barks in a bad tune.
    Not the best way to compare it, but ***. :P

    Masterwork weapons are known to have been bugged like that like forever, since no one would use them on their sane minds.
    e.g. you can find masterwork that also list +1 enhancement separately from the +1 from the masterwork entry.
    Until u9 of course, when they suddenly become useful for blanks.
