Guild Wars 2

I hate that people are buying and using custom arenas to farm wins, titles, achievements, pvp ranks, and reward track progression. I think this is an exploit and that it hurts the integrity of the game. I think that there should be no option for progression in these arenas. It does not seem fair to players that achieved goals the right way. I know people farm these to get dragon ranks on a daily basis. I think it is an exploit and against the competitive spirit of sPvP.

Rank has never mattered since you can get to dragon from repeatedly losing games as well, it’s the leaderboards that are important and those can’t be farmed.

Also here’s the official stance on whether or not it’s an exploit.

Evan Lesh.3295:

Rewards are time-based now. These players must be in their match for the same amount of time as any other server. We cannot necessarily stop people from ‘playing’ oddly for their fixed amount of rewards unless it’s an actual exploit.

I wonder if simply offering dragon finisher as a gem item would fix this I bet most people just want cool finisher, and the only way to get it is either being very good, or very patient and play many-many-many slow games.
