Guild Wars 2

I am not going to get into specifics but I recently witnessed a clear case of hacking, using a PoV modifier, in WvW. After taking several screenshots showing where the attackers were standing and what was occurring I went to submit a ticket. Since I could not submit that ticket while the attack was actually going on (I would have been dead long before I hit the submit button) I posted it after the fight but had to jump through hoops and call it something totally different then what it was, an actual case of cheating.

Please give us the option to report cheaters, along with the ability to upload the screenshots and call it what it is. Cheating. Not gameplay issues, not account issues, not dancing with the quaggans on a hot summer night issues, but CHEATING.

There is no “exploit” option in the report menu. I can’t fathom why not.

You can send an email at exploits@arena.net and include all the pictures and videos you want.

The only downside is that this (and ingame reports) will not allow you to report the individual using hacks; only that it shows some random nameless individual because they removed the ability to see account ID’s.

target the person → invite them to party → after 1-2 seconds their character name pops up → add them to your friends list → hover over to see the account name.

Love how complicated it is to help the game out.

What’s a PoV modifier?

What’s a PoV modifier?

Point of view modifier. There are hacks out there that allow a person to see and therefore target areas that he could not see without the hack. In effect it allows you to zoom out further or look over walls. It is quite noticeable in WvW if you are defending your keep/tower and have red area of effect circles where they should and cannot be under normal circumstances.

In the particular case I reported on there was one person in the attacking group that was using such a hack for although many in the group were using aoe only one circle appeared inside the tower on the arrow cart I was using at the time. The arrow cart was far enough back from the gate that such an effect should have been impossible under normal circumstances but by altering his point of view someone was able to target and damage the ac.
