Guild Wars 2

What are you supposed to do, to report someone who is blatantly hacking? Myself and several other players came across a warrior tonigh who could teleport and stealth at will. Multiple players witnessed his, we have the players name, but how do you report it? There is no option to report someone who is hacking the game.

I have never really believed that peopel could hack this game, but I have never, never seen anything like this before (and mutlitple people witnessed this) and I’ve played since beta. Now, I am not one to point fingers and shout “hacks” but this was blatant hacking.

So how do people report this?

You might try asking in the warrior subforum if there is some legitimate method of doing this. It could well be you just encountered a more skilled player.

Warriors do not get abilitities that warp them half way across the map, make them stealth and re-appear on full health, I don’t care how “skilled” they might be. This player was porting/warping/teleporting all over the place and they were doing so at will, whenever their health got low they would warp off and be literally miles away or dissapear then re-appear at full health. This was a warrior not a thief, nor mesmer, nor ele. It was NOT a gaurdian, warriors cannot teleport.

No profession can do what this player was doing, I discussed this with all the people that witnessed this and they all agreed the player was hacking and there were a lot of players that saw this and were asking the same questions. The question is, how do you report someone for hacking?

To report a hacker/botter:

Click the hacker/botter.

Right click the hacker/botter’s portait icon (where your targets show up)

Choose report.

Choose Hacking/Botting or whatever the option is.

Simple, done, what’s the problem?

The problem is, there is no hacking option, in the drop down menu “hacking” is not even mentioned as an option, there is NO hacking option displayed.

That’s the issue, it’s hardly botting when the player is blantantly hacking the game. There needs to be a method or reporting the player properly and formerly, from all accounts aNet do not seem to be doing anything about botting anyway as botters that have been reported numerous times (by many, many people) are still in cursed shore farming.

It’s also more serious if a player is hacking/exploiting in WvW, it needs a formal option to report the player.

Don’t not report them just because hacking isn’t one of the options though. Selling gold wasn’t a report option either but they added it. Use one of the other options for the time being.

But nvm you are one of the people who think ArenaNet just have to press ‘enter’ to permaban all the bots, aka an unrealistic person. So you probably just wanted to complain.

There is no hacker option cause it is very very very unlikely you saw a hacker. To hack the game you need a lot of skill and training. making a hack so you can change the skills of a warrior means you’ve hacked so deep you could as well add 1,000,000 gold coins to your account.

You prolly saw a glitch and would be reporting someone for nothing.
However….. All reports arebeing looked at. So any option will do. In this case botting would be the best pick cause the GM would not only look at chat but also at behaviour

I was not the only one who saw this and commented on it, there were about 20 people there who also so this player over the course of about 10 minutes, people were even following them and watching what they were doing. It was not glitching/lag, the player was teleporting/stealthing at will. They would come in and start attacking someone, then when they looked like they were losing they would blink/teleport away, they were able to move great distances instantly. And your comment regarding people being “skilled”, just type Guild Wars 2 Hacks into google and there are programs you can download right now, that hack the game.

Honestly I would have hoped that the community would actually side with people who genuinely saw someone who had hacked the game, instead everyone is saying that that we didn’t. Very frustrating.

@Loco
Why does it frustrates you that someone is cheating?? Im not saying that is right, but i just don’t care. I know I play the game fair. If I see a botter or whatever I report and move along. Beside that, you are reacting rudely to the things I stated, but haven’t told me why if someone would be able to do this by hacking, they are putting a trick in visiable for everyone else, while they just could do things much more hidden for public eyes. There has been no confirmed reports bout someone hacking the game server (you seeing it means it isn’t a client hack but a server hack).

But to give some explanation what you might! have seen:
‘Superior Rune of Vampirism:(6): You become mist when you fall below 10% health. (Cooldown: 60s)’ (I know the wiki is saying it is bugged, but that info might be outdated).

It took me 15 seconds to find a reasonable explanation.

You can report exploits to

Its amazing ! how some player can turn a blind eye anything wrong that may be going in GW2 and on top of it belittle the player who’s trying get it game fix so we all can enjoy the game and playing fairly !!! Or maybe they themselves have a reason not to want things fix????

Let me help you out a bit from the very beginning of MMO gaming there were hacks programs available to anyone with a little cash .These players want them for all different reasons but at the end of the day they all just feel that having a good time in their is much more important then the 1,000 of people they ruin it for.

I started playing MMO back years ago on Ultima online and from that point on its be the same thing from one game to the other .My point is that games where players stood and did whats right went on had a huge impact in eliminating a lot of the problems and the games that didn’t well their still out there just not newbie friendly and they only play well for a select group of people.

Mercury spend a little time researching the subject you may be very surprised at what you find and probably only take you less then a minute of your time so you have the facts . Before discouraging other players from doing the right thing.
