Guild Wars 2

In Cursed Shore, there’s a skill point at the Reliquary Vault. I went in there earlier today, and there was a Raisin King Champion in there, which I had no hope of taking alone, so I had to leave the commune skill be.

I logged in just now, hoping to see if anyone wanted to do it, and see that the Champion wasn’t showing on the mini-map. Perfect! I’ll run in and grab it!

Except…there’s a gate…and it’s locked.

So how does that little place work? Is there a way to open the gate? Is it tied to that group event? Is there a way to trigger that event? Is the only way to get that skill point to defeat the Raisin King?

Thanks. Turns out someone showed me how you can jump up a little wall and walk over it to get to the skill without having to fire the event off, so I went that route. Hope that wasn’t illegal to do that.

Illegal or a violation of play? Technically yes, what you did is a violation, as skipping any content is a violation. But for a single skill point, I’m certain the mods won’t come after you about it.

Then again, you can always earn back some (real life) karma and alert customer service / the bug forums about this method of entry.

That’s probably a good idea.

Ok done. Hopefully I just get a slap on the wrist, or a 72 hour suspension or something. I wasn’t really thinking about what I’d done, was just so excited to get the last little place I needed. It wasn’t until I started typing out my response and what I had done that I realized that maybe that wasn’t such a good thing to do.

Oh you’ll be fine. If they banned every single person who found an alternate route around some pve content they’d have to ban a sizable portion of the player base. I mean, finding ways to hop over content in dungeons is basically an MMO tradition. But it is good that you reported the exploit.

Now carry on, young one.
