Guild Wars 2

I recently came back to gw2 and started node farming again and I see people appear outta no where on nodes gather it and disappear, is this a thing now? Is some new strategy i don’t know about since I have been out of the game for so long. parking 1 character on 1 node don’t really make sense. Only thing I can think of is teleport hack or something. Can some one tell me whats going on?

There was a hack to do this thought it had been fixed. Maybe a workaround was found. If you tag the character send a report in and hope they find the new loophole.

Were you at a permanent rich vein (like the one in brisban)? If so, parking characters is the answer. I got 3 characters parked there and I can’t be bothered to run around after the other single nodes so I just gather rich and re log. I’m sure many people do the same.

Welcome back.
A lot of people use keep the alts parked on nodes: they do the gathering and then move on to something else.

Please don’t randomly report other players.

As mentioned, ppl popping out of thin air and mining probably is parked alts.
But lately Ive seen “dead” ppl on the minimap, and when I run over to res them, they are underground, directly under the node. Only thing showing is the top of the players name.
Probably wouldnt noticed if it werent for the dead player sign on the minimap.
Didnt think much of it at first, but one time there was another node real close, and when the dead player disappeared from the first node, a dead player popped at the other, under it, and nothing to see above ground.

Yah, the dead people underground are bots. If you notice, it’s hard to get their character name and report them, which is probably why they are doing that. If you can’t get a name, all you can do is report the area, the day, IP and server time and what is happening.

People park characters on nodes and jumping puzzles. If you see this weird glitchy behavior with underground stuff going on I’d report it. But if it’s a permanent node/chest and people just show up and leave real quick it’s normal and legit.
