So an exploit then, though a mostly harmless one.

Wonder what the penalty will be. Back in WoW, people got permabanned from forums just for talking about exploits openly, regardless of the nature of the said exploit.

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Getting people hyped for an upgrade that never comes isn’t any definition of fun I’ve ever heard.

The penalty is nothing because this is a bug, not an exploit. There’s nothing to be gained and nothing harmed from this.

I doubt it’s the ‘bug’ or a glitch you guys are mentioning. In LA they would walk and line up from the little cave at the end of the “queue”. They also started circling the Mystic Forge. In Divinity’s Reach one was placed in the middle of a circle.
If someone would be using the bug we would’ve seen him place the golemns, but they just appeared or WALKED in from behind the scenes. Also i doubt its possible to place the golemns that specifically if you are just spamming a skill
I think this is most likely a fellow player messing with us. ^^

There are (were?) also some in Gendarran Fields.

If you would read the posts more carefully, it’s already been said (a few times) that it is a player or players doing this by using a glitch/bug with the toy golem summon. The golem is placed in a set location based on your character’s location, so it’s easy to place them in specific places.

What if, even if it is a bug, Anet runs with this, they let us keep spamming this little guys everywhere. I mean tons of them, they never despawn and just sit there, waiting, watching, in all our favorite gathering places. Then one day, we log in, and BAM, all these little guys are going nuts with there little rifles (use engi skills or warrior skills or both) and are tearing these places apart, it’s all our fault, we gave them the foothold, created the numbers, and now the second golem uprising is upon us…

I did read the previous posts, what I am trying to say is that: There was no sign of the player placing them, so it can’t be someone spamming the skill. I saw how they appeared on multiple occasions.
I think it is more likely that someone is just using the template/3D Model of these golemns and placing them via a program or something of the sort.

Not even this post?

Apparently there is a trick to making them persist and follow like a mini. They don’t despawn even if the summoner logs out. I met a fellow in DR who said so, anyway, and he had summoned a conga line of them, but he would not divulge the trick due to the lack of despawn. For that I salute him, and I hope he reports it as a bug.

Or this one?

Well, I saw it personally, first-hand, in a few places yesterday. Now, I didn’t see the massive conga line of them that someone posted; that one could be someone just messing with photo manipulation. But it is very possible to create the golem, have the model persist in the world, and then create another (especially if you have multiple people doing it, since the cooldown is a bit long).

Edit: Plus, now there’s video of it. :p

Heh well, I was thinking of those posts as talking about a different matter. I was referring to the extremely long line of golemns in Lion’s Arch which was definitly not done using the glitch because the golemns walked out of the cave alone, stopping at the end of the line.
The rest (like the mass in Heart of the Mists) may be just players inspired by the original occurrence that now utilize the glitch mentioned. I don’t know about the latter, however.

EDIT
I saw the lane of golemns personally and can confirm that this indeed happened ^^ The lane even GREW over time, until the Golemns circled the mystic forge in a guard like manner. That is what I meant in my original posts.

This bug sounds a lot like the old Ogre Whistle bug. Before the break in the item, it was discovered that if you summoned an Ogre Pet, map out, and have another player rez the dead pet ally, it would add a permanent version of the pet to the map. I’d added many pets to Shamore, outside of Divinity’s Reach in Queensdale after reporting the bug to GW2 Devs. [Another set was hidden in Plains of Ashford in a hidden area but were later removed as well… my menagerie.)

It was later that the whistles were limited to 1 pet active total, you were no longer able to rez the pet, and the whistle was changed from a recharge of 10 seconds to 3 minutes to prevent it from being exploited again. I got a Christmas card from Arena.net that year. It was great.
