Duplications in MMOs break ToS and are bannable, by the normal standards. Also, in MMOs there are almost never truly unique, one-of-a-kind weapons. In WoW, for exmple, you can get a very rare drop chance on a weapon that was carried by a major bad guy (and raid boss) from canon. The odds of you seeing it is already super small, there's like a .03% chance it'll even drop. Then you have to roll on it and beat out a potential 39 other people in the Raid with you (later numbers dropped to 24 other people for items like this, but the percentage dropped as well). So your overall chance of getting the weapon is somewhere in the ballpark of 0.0012%, if memory serves on the old statistics, each time you do the Raid. And that's only if you even finish the Raid, plus Raids locked for a whole week. So you have a 0.0012% chance each week to see and attain these special, unique, legendary weapons. And those were the easy ones to get!
