Guild Wars 2

So, are you (Anet) doing anything about it?

Like the teleport hack that is becoming more and more widespread, probably nothing until another Dhuums Day like in gw1. It will be interesting to see what happens afterwards. Maybe they are waiting for the accounts to age past 6 months so they can’t get credit card charge backs from the accounts banned.

I was amazed when I saw a few Miller Sound players flying then dive bombing players / Towers.
But yeah ANET seem reluctant to do anything about these hackers to the point many of us are simply not bothering with WvW anymore.. too many teleporters, Zoom Hackers, walk through wallers, speed hackers and more these days…. poor form ANET for having no kind of in game detection/prevention other than relying on others to report.. which in many cases is all but impossible, especially when there is a 3 way SM lagfest taking place and the hackers get to do what they like almost unnoticed.

What exactly does this let people achieve that they couldn’t without it? Besides from the obvious seeing farther I mean.

You can put a arrow cart right against a wall where they cannot see you and where you wouldn’t be able to see to aim, except with the zoom hack, you can go way back out and hit someone right against the wall where you cannot see them in any normal fasion.

Report them when you can but even if you do not Anet will still find them.

Put GW2 to window mode and resize it manually. There you got your “zoom hack” .

So this is allowed? I don’t think they would ban for this – since it is something with the game settings… if they did not want it they would have disabled windowed mode.

Now what about all the winers that whine about zoom hacking? I think they should just stop whining. Since ArenaNet is banning even for some 3rd party mouse software I think they’d automatically detect external programs to zoom hack without failure.

It probably is that the people just resized window(which is allowed) in 99 percent of these cases… so no ban.

They should just complain to ArenaNet to fix the gameplay somehow that it does not allow such stuff.

I have reported 3 bot rangers who keeps running in a small area together farming loot bags since November last year, and I reported them again this February, and they are still there in the same spot to this day. Good luck with your reporting.

It is not a hack if you don’t need to hack the client, imo. If it is just simply done with window mode then perhaps it is more an exploit. That been said, flying, wall walking and all these severe game breaking hack I don’t understand how they do not detect these. Should be quiet simple, since the door is not broken yet a character moved to a position within the walls.

yeah there are still some bots in the game (more than there should be), but anyone who think there hasn’t been a massive, and I mean massive, reduction since launch hasn’t been paying attention.
