Guild Wars 2

some people said they can make 30gold an hour?

i don’t play much but this is lol

Well if this is true id expect an emergency patch sometime soon because something like this could kill the economy dead.

Id also expect that everyone who made a profit in this way be stripped of this gold and banned because, as we know from the Snowflake exploit, ANET look down on those that deliberately play to ruin the economy.

someone already reported having made 800g off deadeye.

If I was him I would enjoy that gold why he has the chance. Something this potentially game-breaking has seen ANET ban accounts before.

Anet intentionally and knowingly designed it so you pay an entry fee and an optional boasting fee, and, if you win, you are rewarded. No bugs were used or abused in that video, or any video I have seen of this. Everything is working as intended. If you want to call it an oversight and poorly designed fight, then that would be accurate, but stop calling everything that needs to be nerfed a “bug” or an “exploit”; they are not umbrella terms.

The snowflake exploit could be considered an ‘oversight’ by those that implemented it….those that were banned lost their accounts because they knowingly threatened the game’s economy. Id argue that those farming this mini-game are doing the same and therefore guilty of the same offense.

You realize you have to actually be capable of winning the fight, yes?

guys relax, I was just “wondering”

it’s not like i’m going to use this method, some people have work XD.

I just randomly ran into it on reddit that is all. My rule is, if it’s too easy then it’s probably ban able. Learned from Anet through all the past exploits. That is why I stick to trading post, nice and easy.

Discounting the fact that the fight is ludicrously easy, that is besides the point. Whether you have to beat the enemy or not doesnt negate the fact that game-breaking amounts of gold are flooding their way into the game due to people farming this event. They know the amount they are earning is far above what was intended.

As for me ive no plans to farm using this method. I would just like to know if ANET see it as an exploit BUT if they deem it to be a legitimate farm id like to know their reasons why. Either way ive whisked a support ticket in to see if anyone there can shed some light on the issue,

If you have a guardian, had an empty room, you could’ve made over 30g/h yesterday (i don’t know what was changed since patch so dunno if its still possible and as easy).

Better thank anet for improving the economy rather than complain about this. Users are richer now with lots of mats + money and you still complain? Darn people… darn…

correction, most of the time the tp players are the ones complaining since they cannot sit on their pile of gold anymore and feel special.

You have to WIN the fight.. so how is this a violation of farming.. KIDS today find anything to complain about as long as it isnt something they are getting

I guess the people who farm champions should be banned too.

so if i can still farm 4 gambit deadeye making 25+ gold per hour would that cause to Anet to “fix” this again, i personally think it got harder and they didn´t made the same nerf as with subject seven so its probably intended

Fixed an issue where Dead Eye Dunwell was easier to defeat than intended.

Not really. Even if its easy to defeat, you still have to farm tickets first to farm deadeye consecutively. 20 tix is about 1-2 hours to accumulate + 20-30 mins killing deadeye to get about 10 gold. That would be just slightly better than farming downstairs.

not a bug. just another instance of pve projectile reflection being incredibly dumb.

The problem with those projectiles is that even if they look 100% the same, it’s still a guess if this particular instant-kill projectile will kill you or be reflected….
