Guild Wars 2

Just minutes ago I was in the process of selling mats at the crafting areas to be greeted by two enemy players, a mesmer and a thief. They killed all the crafting merchants, shadow refuged and disappeared afterwards. Its not a huge deal cause the NPCs do re-spawn overtime. How are people able to get into Citadel and why hasn’t it been addressed? I was not able to take a screenshot or get their names unfortunately but that’s not the point. There should not be any way for enemies to get into the Citadel to begin with. I believe the same thing happened in another server with SoS players being inside the Citadel. I’d like to know what you guys think, as I’m sure I’m not the only person to be greeted by the enemy in your own Citadel.

and no, I’m not talking about mesmer portals into Keeps, I’m talking borderland Citadels where it should be blocking off all enemies.

Maybe they found a spot where they can hop on

that’s his point. there shouldn’t be a way for them to get up there.

I dont see what the problem is. Yes players shouldnt be able to get in there, but we can.

But what harm is there?
Sure they can kill a few merchants, not like they are gonna drop a precusor though.
They cannot kill you as you have the Determined buff making you invincible.

But the fact remains that the devs actually wasted time fixing the easier way to jump into citadel than spending time improving WvW.
They could have spent that time fixing almost anything else that actually affects the matchups, but instead they yet again did the easiest thing they could do, which was alter the map texture a little.

We all know that they can do little to no harm in there (and on a positive note: all friendlies have invulnerability, so shouldn’t take too long to get them down).

However, it matters not what you do once you get inside, it’s the getting inside that is against the rules.. Exploiting specific parts of the map to gain access to areas where you normally can never get is not allowed..

Golem stashes, on the other hand do not. A couple players can do a lot of harm in there if nobody’s around to stop them.

It’s a valid tactic to walk into enemy citadel and destroy golems just like it is to treb your enemy spawn on a borderland to destroy golems they have been building up for a golem rush… It’s dirty, but if anet lets you do it then you might aswell abuse it until we are told otherwise. (haven’t done it for a while as PPT is not somethin I care for anymore)

The game has been out for more than 2+ years, lets have a little faith that this is what the Devs wanted for WvW yea?

I wouldn’t take that approach. That’s the same sort of mentality where players go “Hey, this is clearly an exploit, but I’ll keep doing it until ANet tells me to stop because it’s not SAID that this is an exploit.” In a worst case scenario, it can result in bans.

Safe zones are clearly meant to be just that; places where the enemy is not supposed to be. While they can’t actually harm the players themselves, they can harass them (emote spamming), troll them by killing enemy NPCs (kill off the siege merchants so they are forced to go to another map to buy siege, for example), and just spy in general.

I would immediately report any enemy player I see in my map’s safezone, and I encourage all players to do likewise.

You actually thought I was serious? lol…

If they want to waste time by killing merchants and stuff let them.

I did. You’d be surprised at the kinds of players I’ve run into in my years online. I have met people who genuinely believed that if the devs made a mistake and a bug/exploit existed, then it was their God-given right to exploit the hell out of it until it was patched. And they would raise holy hell about it afterwards if they got suspended/banned because “it’s the DEV’S fault!” Yeaaah, then by that logic, if you accidentally left your house door unlocked and somebody got in and stole your stuff, the thief was perfectly justified in his actions and should face no punishment.

If you were genuinely being sarcastic, then I apologise for thinking the worst of you. I’m REALLY jaded these days.
