After seeing this vid, which was recorded earlier today,

edit to fix link

Also many posts about GoM hacking not only in the current match up but also in previous ones, you have to think What Is ArenaNet Doing???!!! I truly feel bad for GoM because a few bad apples are tarnishing their server as a whole. No response to the player base from ANet about this is a bad sign, way to ruin a new week of WvW

Lets get this taken care of Arenanet. Takes the fun out of WvWvW when one team can just fly in, grab something that we(as a server) EARNED fought hard for and then bug it out so we cant take them back.

There are several threads where this is talked about. It’s really bad for GoM as in TC where we were, there was a lot of rallying cries of “kill the cheaters, down with the hackers!” This small group of flyhackers is turning a lot of hatred towards them. If they do it next week, with two weeks of servers making threads and posts about it, can you imagine the sort of double team GoM will face? People will be posting in the team chats and map chats to focus on GoM’s keeps just so there is never a place to put the orb, making it a constant 2v1 in whatever bracket GoM happens to be.

The forums should be flooded with these posts, Anet needs to respond to this Madness asap. GoM players are suffering with this as well.

@Scorpio “sigh” it has already happened the 2v1 i mean still sticking with GoM though not giving up yet because of it hopefuly the 2v1 is helping the few non hackers that still be in GoM for a while longer better
so tiered from it People just keep yelling attack all of GoM in fourms really annoying they should stop posting it and do it already because we still have some land that they wont get without a fight

Hopefully a fix is implemented within the week with some sort of post by Anet on how it won’t happen again, that way we can go back to the glorious three-way slaughter fest. I enjoyed fighting Sea of Sorrows for awhile, they have some great tactics. However, I won’t fight them when there is a server that has players, it appears from that youtube video even entire guilds willing to benefit from it.

Yea hopefuly we need to get down a few tier so we can get more people intrested in WvW again

Pretty sure people aren’t wishing for all GoM players to suffer, the hackers are the ones that need to be banned. If people are wishing for all GoM players to suffer, well they’re I D IO TS. Anet needs to get a handle on this now, not a week from now, not a month from now. NOW. This is ruining everyone’s experience, not only our server, but countless others that might have this issue as well.

Ehmry Bay is there with you. Both of our opponents for this week have a hacked orb in their possession.

It really sucks for morale and fun factor to be the only server still playing by the rules.

i very sure they do want every single person in GoM to suffer because of 1 hacker “sigh”

We aren’t attacking SoS until every GoM is dead and their lands are wiped out. Server allies until the guilty party is exposed here.

Tarnished Coast (Floxxx) here and personally, I won’t be leading forces against you for awhile. Gates of Madness and their hacking has me ticked off something fierce

Saw this all last week versus GoM. Entire zergs (golems and all) were using the speed hack, there one minute, and gone another. Even had 50+ players from my guild witness this, and most if not all of us sent bugreports about it.

I haven’t even bothered to WvW since last week…and haven’t logged into the game for a couple days.

Arenanet needs to fix this ASAP, I know many others who love the game but are not playing due to frustration with these useless hackers.

Sadly it seems a few bad apples are getting our entire server (GoM) double teamed every week. I wish there was something that could be done, as a result of the constant double entry, our WvW population has dropped significantly……

We know exactly how you feel, over on Anvil Rock we have been getting hacked for the last two matchups by Northern Shiverpeaks. Our match before that we got stomped as well and it was by Yaks Bend, now posts are coming out that Yaks Bend is hacking. I do not know if they did during our match but its all starting to make sense. As a server we did pretty good until we went to the 1 week matches, which have been with Yaks Bend and Northern Shiverpeaks.

Yeah I’ve read some of those, people are just seeking justice only way they can. Sad to see GoM take the brunt of all this, but it’s the select few who are ruining this experience, a few of my guild members don’t want to wvw anymore because of these blatant game breaking exploits. I bet if gamebreakertv or kotaku made some big article about this, things will change swiftly. No company wants bad press.

While doing some things around the house, I’ve been trying to support the forum community in bringing attention to this. It’s not that we want GoM to suffer, it’s that we can only team on GoM to make the hacking less beneficial. (as much as one Shadow Legion guy in TC and represent any real “we” in a game of thousands.)

It’s an unfortunate consequence that many legitimate players will suffer from the minority, but the only action the opposing servers can take to diminish the reward of hacking.

even if both team did tag team us like the begning we will still not give up youll see us take everything you took from us back like always and we always will so GL and see you in WvW lets see if any of you can make us have 0 supplys for more than 30 mins in day time

We just did. You own nothing on Sea of Sorrows.

I ran into a mezmer doing this tonight. Its not a speed hack so much as a map hack. Either way its wrong and I hope something is done about it soon.

@Deya – trust me, I put work into getting those orbs FAIRLY. To literally see them fly away in seconds kitten me off. My post isn’t aimed at your whole server, but there are people reading these forums who know exactly who is doing this exploiting. My guess is they will leave the server like the chicken-dung they are before admitting it to the community. I will do whatever I can to make sure your server doesn’t have an unfair advantage with the orbs because of cheating. I have friends who won’t play WvW or are even talking about quitting the game. This problem was witnessed weeks ago and yet it remains. I feel bad for players like you who are suffering, on all sides of the fight. So please accept my apologies for coming off like a bloodthirsty jerk, but I have a very strong sense of fair play.

I’ve been hearing about this hack but this was my first time actually seeing it, and that was pretty ridiculous and needs to be fixed, hackers just ruin everything

It sucks because there are instances where it’s impossible to pinpoint the players cheating, hopefully they can actually track this through some sort of characteristic all the cheaters share in their file.
The anonymous system seems really pointless to me.

Anet devs: if you leave too much client side, you’re gonna have a bad time!

GoM here. Bring on the double-team.
You’re only making us better players in the long run.

We have no control over when or if anet decides to get off their arses and do something about the hacker situation, so enjoy the cheap points at our expense while it lasts. In the meantime, we’ll be doing scrooge mcduck dives into the piles of badges you’re giving us.

Sadly the constant hacking by the few as well as night capping has already taken it’s toll on GoM. The WvW population continues to plummet.

I’m honestly curious if it isn’t a hacker from another server that transferred over to make one side the enemy. I mean after the last few weeks it’s already known that hacking orbs will get the benefiting server targeted. So what better strategy to help your server than to hack for the opposing side? Perhaps I’m giving the hackers too much credit since they are stupid enough to risk their accounts for hacking orbs.

Playing mostly on Eternal all I seen it’s just speed hacks and mesmer exploits using by invaders from some other teams. But I guess it’s fine, after all they’re not those horrible people from GoM, they’re truly warriors of light and blah-blah-blah.

Enjoy your double-team. Just remember, someday it’ll happen to you too.

It’s actually a real pain for the majority of us on GoM because we can’t do anything in WvW at this point. As of this post we have one supply camp in a Borderlands map and that is it.

I don’t condone hacking and really hope Anet manages to come up with a hotfix that will render this hack, and hopefully any future hacks, unuseable. However, it is also rather disappointing that both TC and SoS have taken it upon themselves to ruin any potential fun the much larger group of legitimate players on GoM might be able to have.

The hackers are the 1%, the 99% are the ones being punished.

man wvwvw getting killed by these hackers. would be nice if (realm) defenders was changed to (realm acronym) (chara name) (guild name) so u could actually report these people properly. havent wvw since the moron hacker from our GoM server made every other realm want to gang bang us.

Anet devs: if you leave too much client side, you’re gonna have a bad time!

And if they put too much server side, you’ll be whining about the lag.

I prefer to be in a competition where everyone is lagging to a competition where some are hacking.

Not a big deal, the orbs don’t seem to be taking GoM anywhere to far in terms of score anyway.

Btw, thanks for ruined week of WvW.
Now I guess it’s time to ruin yours.

i have an old screen shot i found from about 3 weeks ago from when i first started hearing about the hacks
guess who its of?

https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/3277/gw001.jpg

and when blackgate played vs them 2 weeks in a row, GoM glitched the orbs a few times and had multiple speed hackers going around.
also an FT clan had 3 of the thiefs abusing the permanent invis glitch

also they had minimum of 5+ people griefing each part of tkitten JP every day. was good luls watching them with all the siege they got from the chest set up in the JP
