I noticed today that a lot of buffs even being mounted was displayed as being stacked 2 times, (take a look at the screen) 2xfrost armor on my char. The strange thing is that i got: (+36defence (skill)+ 110(frost armor) +17(from cloth items) = 163armor. If the 2x frost armor would really be stacking eachother id have like 273 armor, which isnt the case (it only shows that u have be buffed 2 times but u dont get the effect a 2nd time). anyway an oponent could be thinking that u are cheating, and well u migh get reported by this bugs fault which doesnt give u an advanteage over the oponent and well if it happens that server crashes during a pvp and the u get back contiune fighting and the oponent sees omg hes chaeting, bamm screenshot reported.

Now if u dismiss 1 of the 2stacked buffs the icon that u are buffed will remain but truly u arent buffed.

how does this happen, well if u logout for example with frost armor being buffed on u, when u relog u will have 2xfrostarmor cast on u (of course it shows that they are stacked but they truely arent, u only get the armor bonus 1 time)

i want to show this to xudd and the gms so they are aware and know that this is a bug no an exploit, which makes buffs show as being stacked 2times. so they dont start to ban ppl like hell.
This also works with mountbuff.

I case of normal buffs al should know that having 2x(same buff) does only give u1 time the buff effect.
For the mount buff its more complicated bcs dismissing 1 of the 2xmount speed looks the same in a screen as when somone "mount attacks". So the only way to know if its just the buff or the abuse is to look his move speed. in the 1st case he will move like not being buffed, with a "mounted" img on his portrait.
