Guild Wars 2

Okay, so there have been two exploits that have come up with this new patch.

One has already been discovered and has caused the Moa racing to be disabled. That was were apparently the Summon Lightning Hammer skill for Elementalists was stunning the moas mid-race, so that other moas would win (fixing the race, essentially). Those that were doing this should be banned. It doesn’t matter if it was an in-game oversight, something that couldn’t really be foreseen with ‘reasonable’ internal testing. They knew what they were doing was wrong, they did it anyways.

The second exploit is something my guildmates pointed out to me for the event known as DRAGON BALL. This exploit is that MANGO PIES can be eaten during each match and the boon will be usable to give a player +70 Vit, + HP regen. This is against the mechanics of the match and makes it nearly impossible to kill a player who has this buff. Again, they know they’re exploiting this (as most every boon is disabled during sPvP games and mini-games alike).

So, A.Net, will these exploiters be banned permanently or for 72hrs or what? Those with the Moa racing were exploiting something that other players spent currency on as well as something that gained them (the exploiters) more currency. That’s ECONOMY MANIPULATION! The dragon ball thing…that’s just mini-game manipulation, though they did manipulate their changes at Dragon Coffers too.

I don’t think anyone will be or should be banned for a patch oversight that Anet is in the process of fixing and has acknowledged it was their own fault.

I say ban them. They knew they were exploiting, and did it anyway.

Meaning its ok to keep exploiting and ruining other peoples fun?

They aren’t exploiting any more according to the OP’s post, Anet has disabled them until the fix goes live. It was a patch oversight, read the other threads here if you don’t believe me. It will be fixed, but starting a vendetta against the people who figured this out so that it could come to light so they could fix it solves nothing.

The lesson to be learned here is have a Public Test Realm to test patches, like every patch that is released.

Please don’t BAN the exploiters! I wasn’t one of them but to say people deserve banning for this is laughable at best.

So their fix for the Dragon Ball game was to disable +HP food regen completely? That is ridiculous. Every time I click on my HP regen food in Orr it says “content temporarily disabled.” C’mon. Really? All for a stinking mini-game that is lame.

Is that what was happening? I was sure I wakittenting this person, and their health just didn’t go down. I do hope that gets fixed.

Nobody should be banned. This event was released unfinished and untested. Quality Assurance is nonexistent in this event.

Did it or would it unbalance the economy? Did it or would it unbalance PvP or WvW? Did it or would it allow a player taking advantage of this to level their character faster?

If not, no ban.

Make it easy on everyone, do a full server rollback to the point they released the new content, patch it, then bring the servers back on line.
Than post the names of all the exploiters on the forums so everyone can rage against them for all their lost progress.

Man, I was REALLY looking forward to this event, it looked like a lot of fun, but the more I read, the more I want to just skip the whole thing. Cheaters, RNG, crazy requirements for materials, it’s one thing after the other. Do the devs actually have any real players on staff? I am beginning to doubt it.

At the very least Anet should roll back any achievements they received.

I had no idea mango pie would apply and then I went in… it stayed on… ofcourse I only did one match with it but still… If i got banned for that I would be kitten ed.

Dragon Ball is fun, ShiningSquirrel. I’m sure once they patch it so that ppl can’t use food or any other open world item from inventory that it’ll be a blast to play.
