Dear Moderator,

You must have misunderstood the topic of the thread:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Zoom-hacking-is-rampart-after-AC-buff-patch

It’s purpose was NOT to suspect someone hacking and it did NOT contain any screenshot.

It’s purpose was to find out which kind of zoom ANet sees as legit behavior (and which we all should use) and which kind of zoom is seen as an exploit (we should avoid, even if possible with the engine) and which kind of zoom is even hacking?

It would be much more informative if ANet could answer this important question, than suppressing it.

Hi Dayra,

We understood the topic correctly. You say that the zoom hack is being used massively since the AC buff, and that Anet needs to do something about it. As was stated “Also, please remember that posting in the forums about it does not help the team solving the issue”, and this is why this answer was given and the thread was closed. The part about the screenshots was just informative, so that new forum members knew what can and can’t be done.

The zoom Anet sees as legit is, of course, the game’s default zoom. Anything, any other tool or program that allows you to zoom further back, hence providing you with an advantage over other players, is not allowed and considered an exploit.

As a last point, if, as you say, the zoom hack is out of control, then we please need the help of the community to point out who is doing this so the CS team can deal with it, both exploiters and exploits.

I hope this clears out why the mod team posted that and closed the thread.
Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks for the detailed answer.

Hi again!

We are glad the answer was useful to you.
