I know this has been addressed in other threads, but the more people who post the more likely it will possibly be fixed quicker.
I’ll post some screenshots, make sure you follow the time displayed by the map is 6:55 PM, also take note of the PPT timer at the top of the screen. It took 8 seconds to get the second gate down with no siege.
they’re not doing it in hopes it’ll get fixed soon
they’re doing it because they know they won’t be punished
because there is never action taken for abusing any exploitable issue in this game

Look now Anet has disabled the trait so the bug won’t happen until they actually fix it, a lot thanks to Maguuma doing their guardian zergs and getting people to make a big fuss about it.
Also to everyone kittening about Maguuma “exploiting” and nonsense, you need to realize that Maguuma does not even CARE about PPT. Honestly half the time Maguuma tries to NOT PPT because they do NOT want to be pushed into T2. Also ANYONE on ANY server could have done the same thing they did, so it’s not like it was something ONLY Maguuma could benefit from. Maguuma wasn’t doing this to win the week or get PPT, it was to make a point to Anet that this bug is ridiculous and needs to be fixed. Sure, it was funny and we got a fair amount of exp and karma, but so could have you or anyone else.

I do not believe they’re doing because they know they won’t be punished. I believe they’re doing because Arena net continue to refuse to take serious action against problems.
Players: If Arena net do not care about taking serious action to the problems, why should they care if we post the problems in a video? They still will continue to not care about the problems.
Do you blame them?

I was actually in that zerg from start to finish, we bounced around wvw, pve(boss chain), and edge of the mist to show how broken it was across the 3 zerg heavy places. The entire time we were doing this the commanders and most of my fellow guards knew and mentioned how it was likely that we would get banned for this, but that it didn’t matter because it had to be known about. Sorry if we crushed your keep and made everything paper, but most of mag will be asleep by this time so join sbi and get some revenge :P it wont matter.
p.s. Even when anet hotfixed the trait by disabling it we were still able to melt doors pvd while being fired on by multiple arrow carts and meteor showers because of our numbers and symbol aoe heals, so ya GG and sorry.
I saw the zerg doing on Mag doing this earlier today, and I can honestly even the commander who was leading it was upset that it was even possible. He was expressing nothing other than sheer boredom and dismay that such a bug existed that allowed an exploit like that.
I can assure you, as a few others have, that Maguuma doesn’t care enough about PPT to actively abuse a bug just to win this week’s matchup. Sometimes the best way to get the attention of game devs that a bug needs to be fixed, is to use it in the most exploitable way and break their game. This was one of those times, and it turns out that it worked. There were a few posts on this forum about it before the posts about Maguuma abusing it showed up, and now, within hours of that exploiting, the trait is disabled until it will be fixed. Thanks Maguuma for not being afraid to show how broken something can be in the hopes of getting things changed for the good of every WvW player.

Do you blame them?
this is pretty much what i meant
no, i don’t blame them, because they know it’s okay to do it
Just how many bugs can you create Anet, get a proper testing team or dont do these gamebreaking changes anymore? Just a thought.
Idk if they could have tested this to the same degree as a zerg tbh. We had quite a few people (maps almost always had ques of 20+), but they could have noticed this bug to a smaller degree and fixed it in testing.

THIS!
They have disabled the guardian skill now…which means one thing addressed and another thing broken. But hey at least they jumped on this one and shut it down, which means we are not being totally ignored. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
