Well, it's awfully hard to kill someone with a book.

That's not an academic distinction. There are MMOs out there that will sell you more powerful whatevers for real money. It's usually called Pay to Win, even in situations where the advantage isn't insurmountable.

ESO doesn't do that. You want to craft a sword at your level? You can do that. You want it to look cool? You can do that. You want it to look like that crystalline green one on my back? You can either dig up an Ancient Elf motif on your own, buy one off another player, or give ZoS some cash. You want to craft an identical sword, but you don't pick the style, you just take the default offered to you by your race? It's not any better, it's the exact same sword you can already make. It just looks different.

So, we have established that motifs are harmless. Would it be okay to dupe them?

Anyone whos duping anything doesnt talk about it.

Anyone play asherons call during the duping craze? Some moron started bragging about it and a few days later half the player base was duping.

Then they rolled the server back a week.

Shhhhhh

You're conflating actions taken by the company for actions taken by an end user. To take this to the logical extreme, it's okay for a GM to ban you. Would you be cool with a player hacking into your account and rendering it non-functional in a similar way?

Yeah, as I remember, the duping here wasn't nearly that widespread and was mostly relegated to upgrade mats. The dupers burned through those ages ago, and there was no rollbacks... well, no intentional rollbacks.
