Guild Wars 2

So I’ve noticed I suddenly moved up one rank in the LB (but points still remained the same). That could only mean one thing, another was banned from the game. Before the test season, I meet speedhackers almost every game. It was so frustrating, I planned on doing something in desperation (something to do with twitch.tv). I wondered if anet is doing anything about it, if they even care or if they want more money to start caring about it. But last season, I couldn’t even remember if I saw speedhackers in ranked arenas. I don’t know what happened, if you changed something to make their little toy useless, or you rounded up speedhackers you caught beforehand the season started, but seeing one banned right now made me think otherwise. Maybe he was banned for other reasons, but the most effective way to make a dev send you to the Realm of the Bannedlands is to be caught hacking in game.

did haxtester just applaud the banning of hackers? perhaps hackers who test their hax should be banned too?

Lolololol HOW IS THIS THIEF SO FAST???

I am glad you are applauding the ban of hackers, but that is not necessarily why you went up the leader boards. You do realize that you can get negative rank points right? Most likely 1 or 2 people went down, forcing you up…..

Example: You are rank 2 with 100 rank points. Rank 1 has 101 rank points. The guy at rank 1 plays a match that he is set to win by 80%. Someone in his party disconnects from the match. He now receives -3 rank points for his deserter buddy. You are now rank 1 with 100 points and he is rank 2 with 98 points. Moved up, but not due to a hacker being banned…..

But how is that possible when the leaderboards aren’t even functional at all right now? _;;

I haven’t seen anyone on my friend’s list change in points, and my points haven’t changed either even though I’ve been playing in ranked lol. Unless this was posted before they stopped updating the leaderboards and my post is invalid. :P

Banned people are not removed from the leaderboard. Anet perm banned me by mistake twice already and I stayed on the leaderboards during that time.

Haha I remember in Quake 3 Arena long long long ago, people would download and install aimbots and then say" I was just testing it out, so I could see how to notice people using it"

I don’t know, but it definitely moved upwards today, and it’s the most probable reason for me why it moved up, someone was removed from the LB.

Also, I was planning to make a PSA video showcasing the tell-tale signs of speedhacking, I won’t go into details (I might get banned because a mod might mistake it as promoting hacks), what I could tell is that it requires “up close and personal” footage of hacking. ^^;;

Yeah. Lol. “I just want to know what I’m looking for.” What your head exploding every time “they” pull the trigger is not enough of a clue?

Personally I’ve never understood the script kiddies.

I think hackers get their accounts deleted. I know their characters at least get deleted. There was a video showing it.
