Phillmoore said: Wow. I wish I had known that re dupe mythics. Thought the offer was only dupe masterpiece. I have purchased a few using unobtainium and so far all been either duplicate mythics or the lowest of the low option that always sits in the set. Sigh.
Deliberately gaming the system. Ouch. You realize that D3/Hibernum will never do this again, right?
This is why we can't have nice things.

Do you really think it fair to work your butt off to earn 400 mana jewels and be content with a dupe mythic of utterly inconsequential value, especially when it's coupled with them slashing all avenues at mythic prizes from events? HA!
The initial intent was that if you opened a dupe you get a free retry. That ended up changing so that you if get a subsequent dupe then you can keep trying until you get a non-dupe. That part is fine.
The part that is gaming the system is intentionally choosing an elite pack selection where you have all the mythics, then wasting customer support's time while you trade in dupe after dupe. What you don't realize is that once they see players doing this, they will no longer do this ever again, so the rest of the community suffers for your greed. In addition, the cost of customer support having to deal with all of these tickets is a cost that, you guessed it, the rest of the community will pay for (or did you think customer support was free?).
