Guild Wars 2

Often you see teleport hack using bots going from node to node. If you want to combat them, this might help:

1) Stand at a resource node and wait for people who pop out of nowhere and start collecting the resources.
2) Click on the player, right click on their portrait and choose report. But wait a moment before sending a report.
3) If they vanish to nowhere after finishing collecting report them for botting.

You can also add as friend and report from there. I’ve started doing this. Sadly, I continue to see them log in, so either Anet isn’t trying very hard, or their monitoring tools are not up to the challenge.

I wouldnt add bots to my friendlist personally. It could look to anet like you are colaboratoring with them.

And yet again these people are probably NOT teleporting in to collect the resource. They are most likely real people using a certain method to collect a resource.

I have one of my unused level 80 characters logged in at a resource node. I switch to him, collect my resources and then switch back to the character I am currently working on. So, it certainly looks like I just pop in, collect, and vanish but in no way is any exploit being used at all. There is no teleporting, there is no exploiting, just logging into that character, collecting and then logging out.

I am betting that is what you are seeing as it a a common way to collect certain items.

Yes right, someone will log in and out for ~1s worth of elder logs. If it would be rich mithril node or orichalcum I could understand, but not for elder logs, when there are 5 elder log nodes in a one minute route.

Why should I report bots? That’s not my job.

No. These people are teleporting. If you watch them and look at the next closest node, once they finish collecting there, they are instantly on the next. Even with all the speed boosts and skills in the game, you cannot get from point A to Point B like that.

There are also YouTube videos showing off hackers using this and flying hacks in PvP. I wont post the links because they have the download links in the video description, but searching for something as basic as “Guild Wars 2 Teleport Hack” will show you many videos.

As a thief, my class is prone to falling out the world or though walls because of the steal ability, and more than just a few times I’ve actually seen bots UNDER the map farming mobs. Yes, that’s right, there are mobs under the map that you cannot see. Occasionally you may notice it when tabbing, but the under map has its own set of mobs as well, and that’s why you aren’t seeing as many bots on the surface anymore.
