Guild Wars 2

Ok I have enjoyed fotm since its release, but one problem has been increasing since said release. and thats exploiters. now i know the mods have said they are stepping up to shut them down but sadly lately most people stand and mock.

approximately 90% of all the fractal runs I go on have at least 1-2 people who attempt or suggest the group use a glitch in the given fractal room, and if its a glitch one person alone can abuse they in fact do so try to abuse. its getting so bad anymore that most of my latest runs in fact are 3-4 exploiters and I end up mostly getting kicked because i won’t coadhear with their desire to cheat. my most recent run very particularly has proven how bad the exploiter population is getting and how much they don’t care to follow the rules, my last party kept me on until we hit solid ocean then kicked me right out since i would not let them cheat int he last three rooms.

I would in fact be very nice if anet would path fractals so that you cannot be booted out of the party in solid ocean, in-combat or when the tab comes up after boss fights in each of the rooms ot avoid the ratio of exploiters in the group being enough to kick the honest players out when they worked hard to get to the end. It simply aint right when cheaters prosper and the hard workers are basically pushed under boot.

Another very helpful change to combat the massive issue of exploiters in fotm would be to make it so when you rick click a player and hit report that you’d in fact have the open to file it fore bug abuse/glitch abuse or exploiting so that the anet staff can more swiftly deal out justice upon these people who think they can do as they please when it is in fact abusing a broken part of the game.

I am simply tired of nearly every last run being a run I am booted from on account of the fact being i won’t cheat and will report those who openly cheat, or having to leave because i at the given time i only have enough time for one good attempt and i end up being partied with people who think its perfectly ok to cheat.

because for pity sake it aint ok to cheat no if ans or hows about it, you cheat and get caught you will be banned and where does that leave you? right no where, you cheated and end up with nothing so why bother? I know i never will but for crying out loud stop penalizing the people who like me refuse to exploit!

‘Last 3 rooms in solid ocean fractal’? You mean the fractal where you run to the maw without killing anything (maybe clearing the respawn point if you’re with pugs who plan on dying)? There’s nothing to cheat/exploit/glitch there, you just run right past.

I think you are confusing skipping useless trash with cheating.

A lot of people don’t learn that there are such things as endless respawns until pretty late into fractals. “What do you mean ignore the veteran and just DPS the boss.” Things of that nature.

Huggen the corner in the norn boss fight to avoid taking dmg when his ice falls on you, hooten int he tree like an owl to avoid mossman and his pets while hurting him. standing on the wheel to avoid nearly any and all dmg on the pre boss fight in the dredge room or trying to glitch through a wall in the dredge room etsetra are all expliotable glitchs virtually every single group i end up with willingly trys to exploit is a bannable offence anet has made that clear. this is not the same as just being reckless on the doors in dredge room or on the titan room but outright attempts to cheatand people feel its alright because so many do it but that does not make it right!

yes dashing past the monsters in solid ocean is suicidal not a glitch, but hoppen up so you can stand under the maw’s head and burn down his tentacles without any real risk of being killed is a glitch just as leaving the grawl shaman int he volcano in his dome for the sake of applying bleeds and burns as well as poisons in order to whittle him down instead of just breaking him out too simply abuse the fact he is able to take conditions despite being immune to actual dmg from attacks due to the dome.

thankfully the charr room glitch was fixed as well as the dredge room control panel walk through the back wall bug or the titan room glitch where people could attack the boss without causing the cutscene in order to gain a free advance.

I know full well the difference between a tactical terrain advantage, a risky play and an obvious glitch.
