[Question] WvW Hackers: Has ArenaNet done anything?
Not that I can find. Not even a sticky acknowledging that they’re working on it. Pretty disappointing.

It’s very hard to report a hacker sometimes because, as seen earlier on JQ, the hacker was underneath a keep destroying an altar and you could only report him if you were lucky enough to hit tab enough times in the right area to actually target him. The fact that all you really see is “<Server Name>” and you right click and report them, but if you can’t see them at all, or they are fly hacking you can’t see them either, then it’s almost impossible to actually do anything except notify through a “bug” on the support or on the forums (and hope the thread doesn’t get locked).
You can easily get the name of the hacker by spamming abilities with auto-target. We’ve gotten multiple hacker names this way, but nothing is ever done.
If you don’t actually punish these people who have been repeatedly reported, you’re sending a message that it’s “OK” to hack.
Did you know: On the Red Borderlands is bugged, whereby the Altar of Power cannot be repaired, so the home-team hackers just noclip flyhacks through the ground and smash the Altars of Power in enemy keeps while they house an Orb of Power. Eventually, all Altars are destroyed and the Orb is defaulted to the Cradle of Power. This makes playing on the Red Borderlands completely pointless for most people.
Im honestly not even sure what we are supposed to do here. “Questionable actions” – yes Im trying to be nice here- are happening way to often in WvW. We can report them in game, but get no response and the questionable actions are still going on weeks later. I would love to hear some kind of response from Anet about what they are doing/plan to do. Hopefully something. I see posts saying something along the lines of " Here on XX server we dont condone those type of actions. If you have a name we will make sure its not a guild member blah blah blah". These posts get deleted. It honestly just seems like its the “hey if we dont talk about it, it isnt happening” syndrome. But its happening, and your players are getting frustrated.
They aren’t questionable actions anymore. The hackers aren’t even hiding it because they think (know?) they are untouchable.
I know =( I figured if I kept the word hack or cheat or exploit out it might not get deleted?
sad.
bots in the open world and hacks in WvW are getting tiresome….
I was there on JQ , the hacker underground, I saw hacker’s tag, SBI <WM>
War Machine guild, shame on them.

oh look, people from blackgate are here trolling now.
Don’t expect a non-subscription game to have the same customer service as a subscription game….
You can’t have your cake and eat it, too.
I’m sure it’s important to them though, especially if they plan to do e-sport. im quire certain there is more on the topic behind the scenes at anet than we can see on the forum.
One Wish – when they do paid transfers, Please Anet, do it without any notice. It would be hilarious for any guilds caught out there spying / harassing other servers to have to pay to transfer back. You deserve their money lol
