Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

I wanted to draw attention to speed hacking by players in WvW. I’ve recently encountered 2 groups of players from different servers in different matchups that have been using speed hacks.

I was hoping to get info on the best way to report these incidents and if there are any future plans to implement more options in the report functions. As of now i have been reporting players as botters as i imagine they are using some third party programme or have tampered with client side files.

I understand some people will have the view that arenanet won’t do anything, however i would hope that allowing this behavior by a player base seriously effects arenanets vision of building towards GW2 being a strong E-sport (despite talking about WvW rather than SPvP ).

I would also like to know how other players are dealing with these cheaters and if there are alot more of them.

I am on Piken Square (EU) btw – would also be good to see if this is a predominantly european or NA server issue.

Thanks

I don’t see too many any more, but just I just report them.
Also the flying around hack stuff isn’t happening as much either.
Most of that was a larger issue when there were orbs.

In related news, I hope Arenanet knows about the speed hackers who don’t actually run faster than normal, they just don’t get impacted by speed debuffs. They run normal speed all the time, regardless of what effects are put on them.

I imagine that’s harder to detect and I’m not sure Anet is aware of it or has thought about it.

Well.. Shaojack….
Is it a bird!?
Is it a plane!?
No! Its a flying mesmer!

@shaojack – As a US server, did you have these issues some time ago or you noticed a drop off recently?

It’s just i’ve been playing since august and i hadn’t seen any hackers, blatantly hacking, in the open until the last few weeks.

I realise hacking has probably been going on for some time, i’m just surprised by the frequency with which i have had contact with hackers recently.

i’ve started playing WvW exlcusively on my D/D ele in order to catch them – my other characters need to see the WvW love too
