The other day while playing I ran into a player that used a hack to instantly kill a player. Ok, fine, but then this player bounced to another player and instantly killed the other player.
Suspicious? No. The player bounced to the first play and immediately bounced to the other player and instantly killing the other player within a second from the first player.
This player did not even care to hide the fact he/she one-shot people as they continued to do it through the even. This is sad.
Why are the makers of this game placing more concern on banning Bots than players blatantly going around and using hacks left and right? It took months for them to finally agree to remove the Orbs out of WvW due to the amount of exploitation — however the hack-injectors available for this game are massive and need desperate attention by the developers.
Games that use third party engines have always been a focal point for injectors that allow players to cheat in PVP situations, whether it be speed hack, melee speed animation hack (haste) and other hacks used against other players. I have lost so much interest in WvW due to the hacking by other players. I have had several friends ask “Hey you play Guild Wars 2, is it worth it?” Normally I would say “Yes, it’s a great game, and fun so go out and grab it”. To simply put it, I tell them to avoid the game and give it a few years or more.
I can’t tell them to purchase a game that is littered with hackers — I would be the first person they would turn to and yell at for wasting money on a game. If the developers are not able to put a stop to the hacking in this game, I can’t recommend it. I am honestly frustrated at the lack of response from the company that has placed more threat to those who Bot than those who Hack.
What’s worse is winning in WvW does not give the player any direct reward other than to brag on the forums “Our server beat yours!”. I don’t receive anything on Friday if my server was number 1. Friday comes, resets, and I rise and repeat every week. Hacking for this is just pointless for those who choose to do so.
I am at a loss here because the thought of logging in and trying to enjoy what I enjoy most, PVP aspects of the game, to only be knocked down by someone who resorted to hacking is just not my type of fun.
