Guild Wars 2

In a recent discussion in a WvWvW thread, the topic of Spy’s has come up. Now that Anet has increased the time between transfers, is this also considered an anti spy action? Now they cannot stop you from buying an additional copy of the game ( or two ) for the express purpose of this practice, but how do you feel about the practice. I don’t use it, nor condone it. But that is just an opinion. I also understand there may be those who go for the " All is fair in war " premise. Where is the majority on this? Could anything be done to either encourage or discourage this practice?

Don’t care about spies as long as they only spy and don’t do stuff like wasting supplies, siege blocking an entire server by building 943089 Arrowcarts etc.
Simply relaying information won’t do much harm besides giving the server accurate information on the commanders whereabouts, supplies in different holds and defensive siege.
Yes, that’s still valuable Intel on itself but what are you gonna do?
How are you gonna prove it?
As I said, I don’t mind, if they feel like they need it, let them do it, you can’t stop them anyway until free transfers are entirely gone.

I concur; as long as the spies don’t actively boicot your actions and they just leech Intel info, even tho i find it stupid and childy, nothing can be done about it.

Nowadays most of really important Intel anyway flows tru Voice Channels so little harming is involved in “spying”.
