Guild Wars 2

I’m wondering how prevalent cheating is in WvW, as my friends and I just had our first encounter with a cheating thief. Curious if anyone else has experienced this:

Two friends and I were running around enemy territory and we come across a thief (behind the Bluebriar tower) and we attack him. Once we got him to about 30% HP, he suddenly begins to port in circles around us, then within 2 teleports, is over by the south outter gate of the dreaming bay keep. This is not an exaggeration, he covered this distance within 1 second and within 2 teleports.

After he vanished, we stood there dumbfounded at what just took place, we’ve heard of orb cheaters and stuff, but never seen it personally like this actually in combat. About 10 seconds goes by, and he reappears on top of us, teleporting around shooting at us with a bow. Friend (warrior) bull charges him and knocks him down, and we killed him.

The teleportation he was using was identical to the teleportation we’ve all seen botters use. Where the botter just disappears and reappears at a new location, without any sort of animations or anything. That’s what this guy was doing.

I see it stuff like this all the time. I would go on and write about stuff I’ve seen but honestly people in these forums just love to deny they exist so theres no point. I’m also not one to argue on here so.

something I have noticed that isn’t a cheat but has become very popular with one of the servers we’re facing now is people log out when they get downed. I would say this happens more than half the time and just makes me laugh.

It happens; ANet basically is looking rather helpless at the moment with these incidents on top of the orb hacking, people ALT-F4 from loosing a fight in WvW and botting all over the place.

Hack Wars.

Not nearly as bad as Lolhammer or Aion. Aion is an absolute hack fest. Here, is see thieves stealth exploiting (perma stealth while attacking) and glitch hacking into keeps periodically, but every 5 minutes I’d see players openly cheating in Aion. Aion is the laughingstock for cheating.

• Speed-hacking.
• Fly-hacking.
• ALT + F4 / Force log-out.
• Building siege in spawn towns/ camps.
• Botters taking up queue spaces.
• Thief & Mesmers teleporting into structures.

All these issues are cheating and until there addressed by ANet, they will continue to be used in WvW because its increasingly hard to actually report the person(s) in question.

Some of these exploits have been around since beta and people are growing tiresome of having to deal with this whilst trying to help there server to the point less and less people are WvWing.

And ANet remains quiet and non-informative on the issues ruining one of the few end-game activities in this game.
