after thinking about your comment a bit, congo, i don't think LOC admin can tell the difference between authentic and cloned pots (or they don't want to put the effort into it). they can see the cloned pots if its in the initial trade, but after that, the pots would get lost in the pot liquidity market. there's just no way to track cloned pots after the initial trade; cloned pot from pot seller to player A can be tracked, but when player A trades with player B, C, D, E, F, etc, the cloned pots spreads like a virus on a logarithmic scale. And all those players trade with other players, and pretty soon cloned pots are in every players' inventory. unless there is a counterfeit detection system like in real life money, it's not possible to remove cloned pots from the game.
