Guild Wars 2

So in Auric Basin, the Trial by Fire meta-event where you need to race other players to get an Armor suit. If you stack swiftness on yourself before entering, you’ll have an unfair advantage over the other players racing with you.

Example, during the last run for the armor suit I decided to stack 28s of swiftness and entered the instance 8s before it started. I outpaced everyone else by a lot and got myself an armor suit.

Is this an exploit? Seeing that when you enter the racing instance, they take away all skills so its a balance/even race?

There’s no reward other than the suit and you can enter or leave them at will (unless you don’t have the mastery).

I’m pretty sure when I tried this, all boons are removed..
