Duping

Duping, short for duplicating, is the process of duplicating Case Clicker items. There is no official process to duplicate items, and most past methods to duplicate items have been because of flaws and glitches within the game's trading system. Duplicating items may result in a permanent ban from the game if caught.
==History==
Duplicating items (duping) has been done since Case Clicker's initial release in 2017. A notable example of a rare item which was duplicated, ruining its rarity, is the Case Clicker Staff of Olden Times item, which initially only had one copy. After items are duplicated, the user who owns the duplicates usually tries to trade them off as soon as possible as if Skilled Games developers are aware that they were duplicating, they will be permanently banned from the game. After the user trades the duplicates off, they go into normal item circulation.
Duplicating items was mainly a big problem in 2017, which contributed to the I Hate Dupers item being added in the game. Nowadays, finding duplicated items or users with them is not common due to the bug fixes which the game has had over the years in attempt to prevent duplicating as much as possible. Despite these bug fixes, some users still duplicate items and should be reported in Skilled Games' Discord server here.
==Differences==
Duplicated items can sometimes be noticed very easily, and sometimes very difficultly. For example, if a user owns 5,000 copies of a Common-tier item, it is likely that the items were obtained legitimately by opening cases or other official means. However, if a user owns 5,000 copies of a very valuable Exclusive-tier item such as Grandma, it is more likely that all copies in question were duplicated. If a Skilled Games developer finds a user with items they believe to be duplicated, they will be banned regardless of whether they duplicated the items in question or not, which is why duplicated items are generally not sought after and disliked by most users when trading.
