Guild Wars 2

Just saying as i see many players complaining about unbeatable builds, just keep in mind WvW is full of hackers\cheaters as well.

Necros that teleport around in downed state, eles with permanent evasion.

Most difficult profession to spot when they are cheating is thief due to what mechanics uses that mostly looks like an exploit, but keep in mind there are a lot of those and for many different classes.

Eles with permanent evasions, teleporting hacks, invisible hacks, damage multipliers hacks, immunity hacks.

Because of the amount of players in a zerg it may difficult to spot but they are there.

Because I’m never sure if it was lag, server miscommunication or simply another broken build and you can’t keep track of that player that disappeared in the mist of their own zerg i can’t be bother anymore.

The number of cheaters I run into a far and few these days. I think most of the left when the popularity of the game dropped.

WvW is the only mode where class unbalance increase exponentially.

SPvP by design is kept under controll by amulets (ie weaker and fixed stat combos), group compositions and the capnhold points you have build your character on.

In WvW all rules are thrown out and if one chillomancer necro is god kitten near impossible to cleanse fast enough even when building for max cleansing due to kittenting out bleeds like bloody diarrea, then good luck fighting 10 of them.

Hacks on top of that is irrelevant and no excuse.

Indeed. sPvP devs can control the unbalance by adjusting the stats wherelse WvW is at the mercy of the slow cycle of balance patch and PvE’s needs to consistent push out gears contents. Not only that, WvWers are forced to spent a lot more on swapping gears every now and then due to it while PvErs can whine about unfair things and get compromised the next. Don’t forget WvWers don’t earn as much as PvEers who can get ascended from more sources like raids, fotms, world bosses etc.

aside from that box of fun fiasco anet fowled up on (not an actual hack), I haven’t seen anyone hack in wvw in quite sometime. The last legit hack I saw was a little over a year ago with some guy on my own server was “fly” hacking. I just dont think the wvw player base is large enough to warrent actual hackers.

downed players teleporting (or rather playersteleporting in general) is a desync issue, not a hack. It’s disadvantageous to the downed guy just as much as you because the desync prevents his team from rezzing him.

You obviously haven’t encounter those that ported 5+ times within 10 seconds and cover a distance of 1200 units during this down state.
