If u glitch a boss kill it in a way its impossible to fail can u get banned?
what if u get a team who kick if u dont agree? just leave? :/

Yes, you can get banned for “glitching a boss it in a way its impossible to fail”. That is the very sum definition of EXPLOIT. You are exploiting the boss in a way not meant in the design of the content to defeat said content for the rewards. That is against the terms of service.

And if you get a team that is trying this, LEAVE THE GROUP. Don’t be a part of it or you’re risking a ban yourself. You know it’s wrong. They know it’s wrong. The thing about it is to be a better player and not do what’s wrong just because “shinnies!”.

Sadly, these exploits have become so common people ADVERTISE that they’re using them on LFG. I’ve seen “AC 1, 3+2” more than once out there.

Anyone care to explain what the deal is with the hammer guard and that trait that is bugged? dont play guard myself, but hear a lot about that “bug”, so kinda curious

Here is a video of a large group in WvW using the bug to take down gates:

Here is a video of 5 guardians doing insane amounts of damage:

Here is a video of an engineer one shotting players in PvP:

I already heard a time and time again and guards can do insane dmg with it, and none of those vids show anything more than that, was looking for an explanation of what is going on

See this post for a good explanation: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Guardian-Symbolic-Avenger-Trait-bugged

People have been doing this with moss man for at least a year now. There have been no bans for it. It’s a bug. It can also take longer doing it this way. And this fractal is rather unbalanced as oaky is much easier. This may be another reason why they haven’t worried about it.

The AC bug also has you lose out on some tokens so those that use it save time but lose tokens.

Most people I think could agree that Anet will not be banning for either of these offenses UNLESS they first make a public announcement about this, and explain those who continue to do this behavior will face consequences. Just like they did for gold buyers and cracking down on people who bought gold. It was first made publicly aware on the forums and these players were forwarned before they started cracking down.

If you really think this through that makes the most sense. Think about the headache and loss of income Anet would have if they started banning people for doing things like this now. Those bugs have been around for so long now that a lot of people have done them. Mans I don’t think they want to ban people over something so trivial.
