Associated Risks

Golden Question – How to do that?

2 ways.

1. Make Ele/Mesmer Blink and Thief Short Bow Skill 5 unable to cross textures
2. or just…. DELETE THE WATER UNDER THE DUNGEONS.

News flash: skipping, soloing, and selling dungeons has an 8 year precedent.

No, Clumsy, no! Don’t give in to temptation! Keep that evil logic out of these threads! Let the man troll in peace!

posting in skipping/dungeon selling is literally hitler thread

28 minutes till Hitler…..well done internet.

I couldn’t stop laughing after reading “delete the water under dungeons”

What’s so laughy in deletin it?

I honestly just imagine the game god going “select all” and then “delete” and then laughing maniacally at his malevolence.

Delete the water and the entire game is gone. As i understand, anet made a world of water and built the land on top of it.

Also, anet has allowed skipping, soloing and dungeon selling since GW1. Next time please use one of the existing threads before creating another one.

To Kar’s defense, he posted in general discussion and therefore did not know about the faq thread before posting.

That said…. look at the faq!!

Posting in a stacking is exploit th…. no wait nop nop nop nevermind I’m outta here.
Ohmygawd it’s too late.

Because it’s impossible.

He doesn’t mean the normal skipping, he means the out of map cheats that allow you to skip..oh, whole dungeon till last boss and sell it. If it was allowed ANet wouldn’t be banning accounts.

Nothing wrong with fixing hacks, but OP is kidding himself if he thinks all sellers are glitching.

Pretty sure OP does not mean skipping as we normally define it in this forum, though.

But, I can solo the path.

Risk:

Effort, Time, Bugs and Money. They will make a change, which will consume staff time and effort on planning and implementing, might introduce bugs and since it consumed time and effort, it’ll cost money.

There’s nothing wrong with dungeon selling itself.

I think his suggestion itself isn’t too bad, but not every dungeon seller exploits the path.

blinking onto ledges is pretty fun though.

His post is a little hard to decipher, but I think he’s referring to exploiting, not simply running past mobs which we often refer to as “skipping”. I think at least 99% of us agree that actual exploits should be fixed.

If you think Anet gives a flying kitten about the needs of the player base that supports them, then you are sadly mistaken.

Look at any other active MMO, game breaking bugs and exploits are fixed quickly, or the feature is removed until they can release a functioning version (this is if course a generalisation.)
There is communication between the player base and the developers, they are on the same page which is a statement so laughably absurd if it were ever implied about ArenaNet.

I have never seen such a deplorable attitude from a company, don’t get me wrong they had their moments. Hrouda and the Queen’s Gauntlet was a testament to that, but look at what happened there…
ArenaNet simply, does not care. They don’t know their own game, they don’t understand their customers, and they simply could not care less about rectifying that.

The community makes a game. You could have the best MMO out there, but without a strong sense of community, it will cave in on itself.
To show such blatant disregard towards the player base is nothing short of tunnel vision aimed at… You guessed it, the gem store $$$$. And it is this continued attitude that will see GW2 into the ground.

Fumble dodging, the underwater skill CD bug, NPC’s preventing progress, instance owner system, the vote kick system, LFG tool (merging) bugs, contested dungeons, fiery rush (+teleport) glitches, map exploits, dredge fractal just to name a few, some of which have been around since release (though not all widely known.)
There have been hundreds of suggested fixes and complaints about the faults of these systems and yet a year and a half later, these problems still exist.
Why? Because they simply. do. not. care.

Take one look at the support follow up thread, granted some are stupid “hurr durr I deleted/salvaged my rare thingy fix pls” but the majority are people who have been screwed over. I myself have been on the receiving end of this corruption what with my account being terminated (which I suppose makes me biased) but the funny thing is at the time I had absolute confidence in ArenaNet to right their wrongs… What a foolish expectation to have…
Do yourself a favour, find a better game before you get hooked.

Boy that really turned into quite an (off topic) rant, sorry bout that

I think the potion fix is a pretty good example of Anet caring, they will care a LOT once it impacts living story, till then they wont care at all. So we just have to wait for certain bugs to somehow have an affect on the LS and then everything will be fixed! YAY

and with the Living story in its final releases.

the focus of the crew can be to the maintaining and development of everything else.

one can hope.

I agree on fixing skipping, but only for the meaning “skipping mandatory events”. Change skipping trash mob? No.

To be fair, if there wasn’t invisible water hidden underneath… everything, performance would skyrocket in a lot of places. But that’s not what this thread is about.

That’s fair, but my reasoning is described later. Lol.

Still laughing!
