I do not know if it ever was a issue. I never seen any proof, besides someone saying it. But you know what they say about what you hear. I ain't following a rainbow, not going to waste my time looking for gold that is not there.

But I know I made a posting about how to get more resources out of NCP... the next server reset it was fixed. Like wtf, really. I had been doing it for a few days. Then suddenly when I made mention of it here, it was fixed. Next time I find myself with a number of amulets I will try to record it, if it happens. Chances are it will not happen, unless I hit the 1000 cents and decide to buy a few items and amulet the rest. Right about now an advance teleport would be very tactical :-).
