Guild Wars 2

Tarnished Coast, Sea of Sorrows and other servers:

I know many GoM players have stated this, and I realize I am only one voice of the many in GoM, however I would like to sincerely and publicly apologize for this incredibly unsportsmanlike conduct by a handful of those who love to ruin the game for everyone.

I do not blame you for creating an alliance against GoM, and you certainly have the right to continue doing so, however please understand that this is the work of a rogue player(s), and it is NOT condoned by the rest of the GoM server population. We (or I rather) truly apologize for these hackers ruining your WvW experience. I am ashamed and embarrassed for the actions of these hackers.

I do hope that in the coming weeks, GoM would be given the chance to re-establish, and organize itself so that these hacking incidents are greatly diminished. I hope that should these incidents occur again, we would have a system in place to rebalance the game for the other competing servers.

Creating an alliance against GoM? I’ve been online for pretty much since the start of all this and we’ve targeted no one in particular, without belittling your server, you gave up rather early, hence we picked on you more. But honestly I don’t blame you, or anyone on your server that wasn’t involved and anyone who would is ignorant. Sea of Sorrows forgives you and I hope this matter gets solved soon, GoM doesn’t deserve to be looked down upon as cheaters/hackers.

I don’t speak for all of GoM, but I do share your sentiment about GoM giving up too early. Our server is incredibly disorganized, and the only time there is a queue, is at reset time. As soon as GoM begins to lose, people give up, and others start hacking. The guilds that are dedicated to organized WvW are left with a mess, and is difficult to coordinate any operations whatsoever.

I hope by stating this publicly, fellow GoM players can take action to re-establish ourselves into a competing server, and one in which other servers can enjoy facing. A movement for an alliance has already begun, but we need the entire server population to realize that for us to turn around, we need to drop our ego, stop arguing, and stop doing the stupid things we always do, and start listening to ideas.

This all makes me a sad panda.

As an active WvW player for GoM during the off peak times, I find it fun and challenging in leading whatever forces that we have at the time but from what I can see, the lack of off peak presence which is severely crippling GoM not to mention the hacker who’s always around during the start of WvW which forces GoM in to a 1v2 battle.

We do have active guilds allied doing the best they can but when whatever they hold are taken without much resistance, it puts an emotional despair on the public GoM WvW “We’re losing” and hence the giving up part. I’ve seen what a handful of GoM players that I’ve lead can do and I’m mighty proud to fight by their side. Don’t Give Up, Stay Organized and find that prick in the haystack that’s causing us the grief

As a GoM player and casual WvWer, this disgusts me. I will do everything I can to help expose this cheater — but if ArenaNet isn’t listening to you, what makes you think they’ll listen to us?

If we’re not at your keeps to see this happen, how are we supposed to help identify the person stealing the orbs? We’d have to be lucky to be at the right place at the right time in the matter of seconds it takes them to deliver the orb to our keep. And that’s if they haven’t already stolen the orbs before we even get into the battlegrounds.

It’s just as difficult for us to identify them as it is for everyone else. That doesn’t mean we condone it. If I could check off an option to disable any benefits I get from the stolen orbs, I WOULD HAPPILY DO SO. I just play to have a good time with friends.

I can assure you I’ll be looking for any Sanctified Wrath characters that match the description. If I see a name, I’ll investigate. My guild, Sterling Order of Knights or [SOK], takes the wording of our name seriously. It hurts me to see poor behavior of hackers tarnishing the reputation of our server, and I can promise there are those of us on the server that will do our best to help, but we’re all at the mercy of ArenaNet taking any action on this. Unfortunately, our complaints will go no further than yours.

again? last 2 weeks we on blackgate fought them,, and this happened more than once and the weeks before that too. every single match so far GoM has flyhacked orbs.

This is just such utter bullkitten from any perspective. As a GoM’er, I’m embarrassed for our server, and it doesn’t seem to be helping us too much if you look at our score. Utterly pointless. It just burns me up because we’re already having trouble organizing as a server, and now we have THIS crap to deal with. Getting labeled as a “cheater” server is the last thing we need.

But I must say it isn’t just a few bad apples on GoM performing this hack; we’re getting the blame for an exploit that’s being used by multiple servers. I’ve seen this done countless times by other servers while in the Borderlands. It’s a problem across the board.

There are many exploits being used in WvW but this one is probably the most heinous. If I could murder folks from my server, Sanctified Wrath would be first on my kill list, for sure, but that wouldn’t solve the problem. ArenaNet is ultimately responsible for the prevention of these game-breaking hacks. Let’s hope they up the ante and get this solved quickly.

GoM player here. I have faith that ANet will correct this issue and appropriately punish the guilty parties sometime soon. However, until they do I cannot in good conscience join WvW.

Adios GoM!
