Unlisted Fractal Patch Changes
they fixed many more exploits than the ones youve listed, and spykits are not bugs or exploits, they are in the game to be use.
I imagine they don’t list every single bug fix because it can give people who were unaware of the bug new ideas/suggestions which could promote new bug and exploits to be discovered. That’s just a guess.
I also agree with the other poster- spy kits are obtained in pve. I don’t see a problem withm being used in pve. I could see the argument if they were usable in wvw. I imagine they are a way to keep small gold sinks going as well as promoting people to revisit old zones to obtain the items. Again, just my guess,
I approve of the exploit fixes though… Some of them can really water down the integrity of dungeons/high level fotm. The challenge is the fun part to me.
Mossman tree and the Svanir rock have been fixed I believe.

Confirmed on Mossman tree trick. Fixed. A few downed players but pretty easy kill.
One thing though. Imbued Shaman fractal freezes random players in place, though no “shackled” debuff appears on player and then Burning ground usually erupts under them. Then if you die, other players cannot rez you while in combat, that is to say they can apply heals but the bar just constantly resets after moving 15%. Also you can’t rez at checkpoint after the Boss is defeated without getting a “Burning” debuff that hits for 10K a tick. Even Necromancer’s “Remove Condition” heal doesn’t pull it off, though it’s supposed to. I finally had to port back to LA in order to rez, and repair myself. Did so much damage the debuff completely broke (see repair icon) my armor. Only 11 silver repair bill but still annoying.
You can no longer grind your head against the ceiling to hide from the Raving Asura’s agony attack in the Uncategorized Fractal. The lightning orbs now travel in a straight line instead of in an arc.

They never list all changes.
Now that we’re talking about unlisted fixes, the glitch in CoE path 2 is fixed too, where you could essentially fall through a wall and get into path 3 near the end for an easy 120 tokens in total (2 paths).
Volcanic Fractal:
In the final phrase, the Legendary Grawl Shaman is immune to bleeding, perhaps other conditions too, when it is in the shield form. I guess it is to prevent breaking the shield easily by stacking 25 stacks of bleed.
