Anet, please, please, PLEASE end this awful event. So many people exploiting the golem buff bug is making WvW even less playable than before. Most of the Maguuma server is exploiting this bug and pretty much all of the guild “kitten ” uses it. How fun is it when a single player with this exploit can solo an omega golem?
Please either fix this bug or pull the dang event now. Until then I’ll be reporting every single player, friend or foe, who exploits this bug. I think the exploiters need a week long GW2 vacation (suspension) or outright ban.
The fact that loads of people are taking advantage of it intentionally is ridiculous. I have been reporting every player that I see using this exploit. I put it under “botting” because it was the closest category in my opinion.
However, my main question is… does reporting even do anything, or will these players get away scot-free? Personally, I hope they all get banned.
I doubt Anet would ban them but I can dream……. As soon as the exploit bug was noticed it should’ve been hotfixed or the event suspended but apparently Anet doesn’t care about massive exploiting. They haven’t even made a comment on it yet and the bug has been known for 3+ days.
I got a lot of faith back in Anet with the redesign of Lion’s Arch and the new trait changes but this event b.s. is two steps back for them. Don’t get me wrong, in WvW our server is still winning at this point despite a large percentage of our opponents running entire zergs with the exploit bug (mainly the cheaters, err players on Maguuma, to a lesser extent SBI).
I hope all these people I’m reporting get at least a week suspension. This is pretty much a WvW breaking bug that we’ve nothing from Anet about. I encourage everyone to keep reporting the exploiters.
And as far as I’m aware this is not naming/shaming because there is no name associated with any of these pictures. If it breaks the posting rules I’m sorry, please take them down.

So yes, winning a 15v50 against HoD is just because maguumans have a double damage buff? Yeah I don’t think so. I have witness today blobs of 60+ HoD (50%golems) lose to 15 maguumans who had the buff, it just makes the odds closer.
I meant to say CD, but regardless maguuma has notable 5v20s etc… against every server they fight.

Not fighting HoD this week.
The reason the characters on foot who are exploiting this bug are winning is because they are more mobile, have more attacks and do more damage than the golems. Although, despite the bulk of the Maguuma server cheating in WvW this week they are still in 3rd place (currently). SBI seems to be a bit more honorable with many fewer people exploiting.
Ban them.
Ban them all.
If they can’t play by the rules, then they don’t deserve to play period. The moment they decided to intentionally exploit the game for their own benefit whilst abusing other players in the process, they violated the Terms of Service in an appalling manner. I don’t see any reason as to why they should be allowed to play anymore.
Keep in mind, players have been banned for lesser offenses…

Sry it’s CD this week, a even more salty server, I apologize for being stuck with HoD for so long I will always think they are in the matchup, same with SBI. Btw you win because your population is 5x as high as maguumas, sbi even more so. Don’t pretend CD never got 15v50ed by maguumans before the buff and pls do not lie and say your server does not abuse it.
Ban them.

Keep in mind lots of hackers on sbi and in general WvW go around unpunished. Your own server is populated by a significant number of hackers and I don’t see you advocating them being banned.
Notable common occurrences, SBI player has speed hacks, SBI player kills you w/o leaving damage in your damage log greater than 50% of your hp, SBI warrior ( still roams on sbi) uses elementalist skills and these are all pulled from the same day.
It aren’t that many different people using the bug, I have seen the same guys over and over again (but many run with other guild names now so it isn’t that obvious that they are all from the same guild) and see the Maguumas here on screenshots over and over again. They must have 100s of reports now.
They had a massive personal advantage through the weekend with lots of rewards and level-ups. I think the punishment has to be accordingly to show this guys and any other ones that bugusing should not be used next time when you are able to.
Most of us know how to abuse this bug. But we don’t do it and get punished by dieing to bugusers, losing objectives and siege to them, etc. SBI communicates to the players not to use the bug even if people are dieing over and over again to bugusers, most players are honorable. But some people may get the wrong idea now: that bugusing is ok, because Arenanet doesn’t do anything about it. If there are no consequences, why shouldn’t you do it for more personal rewards?
Imho it is really sad that there is no official response or action yet. It ruins an otherwise funny and interesting event that should bring new players to wvw and instead frustrates the long-term wvw-guys and new players just the same. And for me that’s just because the bugs do not get fixed fast enough.

When was the last time CD was against Mag? I can’t think any week in recent memory that we were matched up together so no, CD has not been “15v50ed” by your cheating server. Try again.
Keep in mind lots of hackers on sbi and in general WvW go around unpunished.
—> report them as well, of course they should get banned as well. I have never seen any of the things you talk about on SBI, never seen players speed-hacking or warriors using ele skills and stuff like that. Imho hacking cannot be tolerated. Bug-abusing should be neither though.

All hackers and exploiters need to be punished no matter what the server. It just so happens that this week your server is fielding the majority of the cheaters. Just look at the “kitten ” guild and find one of them that ISN’T using the exploit.

Anet, plz, do the following
1. fix this bug before tomorrow’s update
2. ban all the exploiters
3. stop this non-sense event immediately.
Execution, if ANet bans everyone who every exploited this bug 90% of wvw players and hundreds of man hours would disappear which is why no one will be banned for it.

I don’t care about servers right now. This discussion is about willingly abusing the game and its players. I have reported my fair share of SBI players too. I don’t want to align myself with cheaters. They’re scum and deserve to be banned like the rest of them.
So instead of personally attacking my server for no reason whatsoever, how about we focus on the hackers/exploiters? I like the sound of that a lot more.

I’ve been reporting everyone, friend and foe alike, for bug exploiting. Tonight I finally got tired of the cheating and no response at all from Anet so instead of just reporting everyone I started taking screenshots.

It’s okay. Clear out the trash. WvW is a small community anyway. Time to rebuild it.

Just stay on the topic. That being a bunch of people cheating by exploiting the fact that you seem to want to cut hairs over typos and minor points tells me you must be a cheater too.
This is not just a problem with our matchup this week, I’m sure it’s happening in every WvW match in the game. Do I know how to get this exploit buff? Yes. Have I done it? No. I prefer to win or lose my games honestly.

I was responding to a post by Sadrien. While his post was off the topic at hand it was nothing more than a reply. I invite you to follow me in WvW any time you want to see if I’m exploiting, cheating, hacking, etc. You will see that I don’t play that game. Name the time and place then host on over to CD.
I don’t know what’s more sad, that someone actually takes the score of this golem week seriously or that they don’t realize how many players in their own groups are using the bug.
You know why most Maguuma won’t be reporting people doing it or crying on the forums about it? Because they understand that this week is stupidly boring and ANet could have easily disabled it should they have found it to be serious enough.

HMM sadrien u seem to have alot of confidence in your game play try that with CD TKVA or TDS then talk your talk . Then u can have the braggin rights. Or other guilds like KREW etc.
Let’s see what insults you throw next popcorn
