PlanetDiablo has conducted an interview with Blizzard's Bill Roper (Senior Producer) on duping, mods, and a few more general Diablo2/Battle.net related topics.

Here's a snip:

    PlanetDiablo: Players on the Battle.Net Realms are very concerned with trading items even after the recent exploit was dealt with, and some have expressed their intent to never trade again. What advice do you have for all players regarding this issue?

    Bill Roper: While it is can occasionally be a difficult matter, trade with someone you trust. Building up a relationship with someone by playing for a few hours with him or her can go along way to making sure you do not get taken by a hacker or duper. Also, we hope to make any trading a safer endeavor in the near future.



    Afterthoughts: This is very good advice. In a sentence: Don't trade with people you've just met! Duping will probably always be present in some form or fashion on the Realms (no matter how small the amount of dupers), but you can avoid getting duped items by trading only with people you personally know or know well enough to determine that they don't and will not duplicate items. Otherwise, you're shooting yourself in the foot, so to say.
