Not to sound like a biznitch, but when I heard about this crap and to see that it is a real exploit just hurt my heart.
I was actually proud that the community had figured out a way to maximize their chances with un-id'd rare sales, in the form of a gamble/lottery between Diablo community members, so loving the idea I got into the mix.
Selling my rares when I got a string of like 15 trash items, looking to make 300k on an item that was possibly just vendor trash, and hey, if the other guy hit big, grats to him for taking the chance, and visa versa.
"Damn, I'm tired, I don't feel like farming, I have some extra gold, let me get on the trade chat and see how much the un-id'd rares are going for"
Strangley over time I've maybe bought around 30 rares from random people, and what do you know, not on one of them did I hit big, yeah to comfort myself I say well hell bad luck, but this subject keeps making me think that maybe I was just hoodwinked out of millions of hard earned gold. Of course as of now I just don't feel like I can trust trading of this nature anymore, which is sad because it was a great way to link the community, and some Einstein had to screw that up:(
Yeah, it's kinda sad it turned out to be like this. Maybe in the future Blizz will do something about us being able to identify unindentified items.
But for now, the best thing is really to stay away from this kind of trading, at least until we hear something from Blizzard about it. It's just too risky (and with word out there on how to do it, everyone wants a slice of the pie).

I hope they end up making items roll during the identify process and not during drops. Then reset all existing unidentified items to take on the new format of rolling for stats.

Good idea.
Hackers will identify an item and crash the game if they don't like what they got. Sounds great.
Crashing game = able to reset stats that is saved on a server? Okay SMH
It's a real shame, too, since the un-ID'd sector is how I built my initial Inferno set for my main. Ended up with an 865 DPS weapon with good stats, plus assorted other decent Int pieces. Now I can't do that for my Dex and Str initial sets.
Yup, i had a stash full of unids, but cause of this exploit nobody will buy em, so i ided them all, got 2 items worth over 2m.... if i sold all unids i could have made 10m+
How do you correlate being honest people selling overpriced un-ID'd items that turn out to be complete garbage almost all the time? If you have decent shit to sell, you won't need to hide it.
This "exploit" does not affect me at all. My great items get sold, the crap gets salvaged.
300k for un-id'd items was absurd anyways. I'd rather spend ~100k crafting 6 prop ilvl62 armor because even though the max potential stats are slightly lower than ilvl63's, you at least know they will have 6 props instead of the 4, 5, or 6 props which dropped rares could have.
I dont much understand the problem. I mean, gambling is inherently risky anyway. Dont wanna get taken? Dont waste gold on UNID items. This is just not that big of a deal to me I guess. I see people spamming trade for unid items sales all the time, and even before i knew about this exploit, I just never batted an eye.
I didn't mind all the hub-blub going around about this. I mean even if this exploit never happened.. we still have the MF issue that Blizzard has posted about. Granted they didn't say the exact formula .. all they said was MF helped in getting more properties on an item. So all these people with 0 MF selling unid's *could* be selling crap.
TBH, i'm just stashing my unIDs and hoping this'll be patched, and then sell them after. If they don't patch it then oh well i'll just ID them and go on. And imo if you're able to sell any unID for over 100k i'd say it is still profit because of the odds of a rare to be worth 100k on the AH make me feel like you're getting a great bargain. Just my opinion, could be completely wrong.

Even if it does get patched who will take the chance. The scammers likely have stashes of rares that they have preidentified waiting to unload them after this gets "patched". There is no way i will ever buy an "unid" item.
All drops should be identified automatically (and all existing items too to prevent unid hoarders), problem solved. For the classic gamers, keep legendary items unid.
No clue what the strategy is that rares come unid'ed. You can't sell them on the AH or RMAH. So why have it in the first place?
Let all rares be id'ed when they drop. It won't change a thing except kill the unid market .. but blizzard doesn't get a cut from that so it's in their best interest to do it.

Unless, like someone suggested, Blizzard resets all unID'd items, although that would give a lot of exploiters another chance to roll good items, it would fix the problem forever, or at least until they find another leak.

Most people only bought unid'd weapons. There are no craftable level 63 weapons as far as I know.

If they knew how to do this they'd already be duping like mad.

Okay, then lets just roll items server side when they are dropped. O wait...
