Guild Wars 2

I’ve been seeing a lot of gathering hackers, but I have yet to be able to report one with the ‘click on character, report bot’ feature. It takes a few seconds to realize what you’re seeing, but even if you’re quick, they move too fast to click. I’m seeing this in all areas – but mostly in Orr & start areas. (I’m assuming mats from those sell best)

I’m absolutely certain these are hacks. (they’re all hunters – first human, now Asura, & my own ranger is unhappy with the association) If you’re in an area with 2 gathering nodes visible, you can see them appear at one, then the other, in the space of a second. If they’re attacked, the pet attacks, and the character disappears. I’ve seen the same ones popping all over the place. (I’m also seeing some underwater ones in the LI)

So – how do we report these? I thought of screen shots, if I could be quick enough to do that. I assume Anet is aware this is happening, but I’m seeing so many of them lately that I thought I’d find a place to mention it, since there’s no sufficient reporting tool for the task.
