Before i start, i have been pvping since the game has come out, i have both legendary titles and over 1k played games on most classes.
Now due to anets policy about naming and shaming i am not going to say the name.
Yet the past few days a certain player in question has been repeatedly teleporting accross impossible distances.
Now before people start mentioned infrequently used skill such as the 9000k range trap as a possible reasoning i shall explain how this is not the case.
Said thief at the start of the game was moving instantly from the spawning area to the close cap.
I viewed this by pursuading him to join a party with me so i could observe this and make certain what i was seing was not lag on my side, other players have observed this and have reported him.
I am now posting her because it has been 2 days since he has been reported and nothign has come of it, he is still ruining pvp matches and i am wondering if anyone else has seen this male human dark dyed thief with a troll name cheating? (aside from the teleporting instantly accross the map he is really bad and still dies easily so its not that game changing but still cheating is cheating)

He was probably speed hacking but it has nothing to do with Latency.

If he’s appearing at close point he could have prefired an infiltrators arrow and then shadowstepped… that’s a sign of a bad thief, not a hacker

I was in the game and he was using some Teleport Hack 100% ,
I mained thief untill HoT and what he did was straight impossible,
he teleported from close to far instantly after capping close.

There’s a trap with 10,000 range teleport. It’s broken AF but really good skill to take if you plan on being the decap thief.

I mostly play for the new Free-For-All arena in PvP lobby.
….. And Elementalist.

It mostly only really works on niflhel since a few patches ago… it has some issues on other maps, I think its because of line of sight Or some such.

if by broken you mean doesnt work 75% of the time i agree with you but still pretty good when it does work mesmer portal is more reliable and can teleport teammates anything a thief can do another class can do better….

on topic ive seen some hacks for the first time during this season a certain necro was using teleport and invisability hacks for over a weak but saw a dev reddit post not too long ago saying he was delt with he was being very obvious about it specially on a class that doesnt have access to those things really im sure other people abuse whatever he was doing just not as obviously.

playing with ALL classes keeps it fun that’s how i do it

Yeah I made a post about it earlier and it was deleted by moderator asking me to use in-game report system which i did use with at least 50 other ppl and this player is still in the queue. There is no way to contact moderator or support team and inform them about this issue.

I guess our only choice is to let him teleport hack and maybe he gets banned after 2 years or something when that team may or may not be able to find this players report.

Feel free to private pm me

Or someone from anet to ban this guy from the game.

There shouldn’t be any protection against botting and hacking. Name and shame should be a thing!

anet also deletes threads about this topic. they ignore it, and it shows ingame. those hacks are not unique to gw at all, its the same kitten everywhere. same with reactions here, deniers trying to mock with caps or st, ignoring explanations and excusing.. happened over and over again since ultima online, it just became worse, and now its a common thing. why isnt that pattern as obvious as it should be ? well, in certain other games, hackers are treated as royalties by the devs. they cover all traces of evidence fe. seems to be the same here.
