Guild Wars 2

Is dragging mossman underwater an exploit or bad dungeon design? Some guy I meet in a fractal is harrasing me and kitten talking all of the other member of the party saying we’re going to get banned.

It’s an exploit but you won’t get banned for it.

However one thing you should know is one of the quickest and easiest ways to tell whether or not a group is terrible is if they resort to bugging mossman.

The only downside to bugging him in the water is that you will always be associated that way really. If anet cared about people doing this enough to ban them they would have fixed the issue long ago. Clearly, they do not care.

They’d have to ban 90% of people who pug fractals if they banned people for bugging him, so your account is safe. The facts about this are 1) Anet has implemented multiple changes since fractals was released to discourage people from fighting him in the water. 2) When he’s pulled to that spot he’s completely disabled. Exploit may be too strong a term, but its definitely abusing a terrain based design flaw that anet is fully aware of and has attempted to fix a number of times. If all you care about is whether or not you’ll get banned, though, and would rather afk for 10 mins than just do the fight legit, then you can continue bugging him.
