Guild Wars 2

More and more I see thieves selling “teach solo ac p1 30g”. I was wondering that since they “teach”, it must be some kind of exploit because lots of dungeons get soloed by people and AC p1 is the only one that has so many similar LFG. It’s the only one where people offer to “teach” and those who sell are exclusively thieves and I find it a bit strange.

So is this some kind of exploit or a totally legit service? I don’t wanna hand 30g over (or more, I’ve seen up to 75g) just to check that.

It is an exploit, using Shortbow. They use it to teleport where they shouldn’t be able to go and skip the whole dungeon. Some kinda of jumping puzzle. Use it at your own risk.

However I remember seeing a post about a Dev saying the “jumping puzzle” were not exploit, but I wouldn’t trust that.

No thank you!

Thanks for the answer. My new game? Join those parties then report for exploit. Well… wait… do they actually kill the bosses or skip? If they kill, do they do that in a safe spot or facing the boss?

Only kill the last boss, probably fighting it legit though. But if you want my advice, just ignore them, don’t waste your time joining them to report, believe me when I say ANet don’t care about report, I had livestream of people hacking/exploiting/botting that I sent to Anet, multiple time and those people are still doing it 6 months later.

Don’t waste your time, let them be, if ANet fix it, they will move to something else, it will never stop.

Well there was (is?) a partially completed jumping puzzle after you finish the boss.
For the current thief skips – as they are practised/tought – I highly doubt that any dev would claim that this was working as intended.
If it was jumping puzzle, it would (theoretically) be doable for every class and if this is not seen as exploiting, then everything from the snowflake incident to the linen farm can’t be considered exploiting from my point of view.

My advise to OP is to stay away from this, unless you want to risk a righteous strike of the banhammer.

This and similar skips for Arah are one of the main reasons why dungeon sellers are frown upon (another reason is that little bit of envy, because honest soloing is actually quite skill-based ).

Don’t worry I know those exploit are not real jumping, the Dev answer I saw was about Arah P2 boat exploit which he qualified as a “jumping puzzle” and said it wasn’t an a bannable offense :P.

I wholeheartedly have to disagree with this. Saying this is like following the saying that “the wiser head gives in” which in turn means nothing but a dominance of fools.

As much as I agree with you, I stopped caring after 3 months with no answers in dungeons sub forum. Countless reports with answer saying they will look onto it. I will not care until ANet start caring. Everyone knows about those exploit, tons of video everywhere and really simple fix, still nothing has been done.

Killing a boss should be a requirement to be able to proceed in a dungeon, until they implement this, people will find new way to skip. This is nothing new, it’s been going on since release, yet no effort shown to actually fix the problem.

Teaching AC p1 solo:

Thief: 1 copper
Elementalist: 5 copper
Engineer/Warrior: 2 copper
Necromancer: 3 copper

WTB guardian solo: 6 coppers!

Save yourself from all that work. By doing that you are caring more than Anet cares about dungeon exploits.

Huh, I don’t even understand this?
