This is total BS from MRT haters... MRT did not come up with there own random number.. so if you had an AMB and never sent it over to MRT you had/have your own number. MRT would clone your PT, or was buying up PT's and HTP's cloning them. The chance of you buying a PTX with the same 21st number with someone else does exist.. but I'd say its pretty rare. I've seen a few hundred of them and none had the same 21st number... and if it did happen the software would pick it up and you change it to one of the 20 other numbers... not a big deal... easier then the old crystal conflicts... and you don't have to go beg or borrow from somebody else.


The only way what you're saying could happen would be if someone had there PT cloned... then sold there AMB, and MRTs to different people.
