Guild Wars 2

(For those who don’t know, I’m referring to this spot, where everyone stacks, and because of the way the event works, enemies constantly respawn, resulting in a huge group of players farming countless risen for T6 mats and heavy moldy bags.) Sorry if this has been asked before, but I’ve been curious about this for awhile now, and i couldn’t find any concrete evidence about it. I’ve seen quite a few people say this is exploiting the game, a bannable offense, and I’ve also seen plenty of people say It’s not.

Now, I heard rumors about an anet employee tweeted about plans of nerfing this particular farming spot on the 30’th, but the person who said this also said that they conveniently couldn’t find the employee’s twitter account when i asked for a source.

I highly doubt that this counts as exploitation, but could we get an official word on if it is, just for the sake of putting it to rest?

I lol’ed at the chat tab names….

Given how you described it. Getting fixed is a no brainer. It also makes it obvious that something unintended is being exploited. Whether it’s a punishable exploit and whether or not anything will be done with the accounts would depend on whether they can easily identify the accounts involved(and separate them from the people just trying to do the event normally) and how big of an impact it has on the game.

Well, its basically just poor DE design.

After a good decade of online gaming even ANET should have gotten the memo “if its possible, players will do it”.

So if ANET doesnt like it, its up to them to fix it a.s.a.p.

After all I still believe we are playing a game here [for fun?] and not being in a police state environment…

And with all those DE events bugged in the past months its still hard to distunguish what may be intended by ANET and what not.
