Do you have systems planned or already implemented to avoid duping of items or gold?
For example a unique ID for all the items and a system that detect duplicates, kick the player and removes duplicate immediately? If that is even possible.

Rather than monitor items, they’ll monitor players, to detect anomalies like duping.

No game sets out to allow duping.
All games ensure varying degrees of testing to reduce the chance.
All games are limited to the amount of testing prior to launch that can be achieved.
The more complex the game, the more likelihood of potential flaws.
The more players that play, the more chances someone will find that flaw that testing did not find.
Implementing systems to deal with it is great.
Ideally the player community themselves also develop an attitude and collective stance on duping.
Similar but different, in past clans I have been within were anti-cheating, botting and buying gold.. as were many other significant clans.. there is a power of the collective.. does not always require the GM systems to control all.
Just curious..... Are there ANY MMos that allow duping?? Like an actual mmo with a track record, not some off the wall game.
No game allows duping. It is always cheating. But it happens in plenty of games. World of Warcraft frequently has problems with it.
Generally, what happens with most games is that a new patch comes out and has some unforeseen flaw in it. Players find it and exploit it. Eventually it is discovered, either through a player reporting it, or it gets discovered somehow. The code is changed to fix that hole, and any players found to have violated it get banned.
The OP was hoping for something more proactive than that. The develops have given assurances that there will be systems intended to take care of duping issues, though as Vaknar implied it would be foolish to explain those systems in-depth. The more people know about anti-duping measures, the easier it will be to figure out a way around them.
Ashes of Creation is gonna be free to play too, right? So you could just have alt accounts and dupe different items on each, maybe use all duped items for crafting on one account, sell all duped items on market on another etc to try and avoid items deleted/ban. And there wouldnt really be any risk involved since you dont care about the new accounts youve created either.
I think we really need a solid system to flag duping, kick people that are flagged and remove duped items so it doesnt get out of control. Kinda like easy anti cheat for duping I guess.
