Please do not create a ticket for someone else. It confuses the issue and delays the response as the team sorts out what’s going on with multiple tickets (from different sources) about the same account issue.

I found your ticket, and you were sent a response to let you know that you were in the system. If you didn’t receive it, please check you Junk and Spam folders, as it was sent immediately upon your submission of the ticket.

I just looked up the Log-in Name on this account and I cannot see that your friend submitted a ticket. Please ask him to do so. Don’t worry about his English being not-so-good — we just need to hear from him and we’ll do the best we can to help!

We cannot transfer people upon request. What I recommend is that you all discuss the matter and decide upon a world with a lower population. This will not only allow you all to be together right away, but it will allow you to invite others to join you, as it’s less likely that world will reach capacity immediately.

Our Security Team via me. We endorse this message.

Still receiving in-game mail from gold sellers. Still seeing gold selling spam in chat. Still watching them running around in packs, “hunting” out in the wilds. Still reporting, for whatever that’s worth.

Reporting is good. And removing bots is an incremental thing. There’s a certain level of “whack-a-mole” on this, but trust me, the moles are losing.

Hi Bucketkafa.

There is an in-game reporting tool which works for botting and hacking most of the times (right-clic on the user and select “botting” as a reason for report); however, for episodes of exploiting and hacking we also accept reports (screenshots, names, videos and factual descriptions) sent to the following email address: exploits@arena.net. Your situation seems unfortunate but I am not sure it would fit in any of those categories and therefore, it cannot be really reported.

Thanks!

Hi Kashim.

EndlessDreamer is correct. In the future we will implement Guesting, which will allow players to invite their friends from other servers. For the moment you can move quite freely between servers but this will stop in due time.

In any case, we will keep you updated should new changes arrive.

Arrownin, the forums are not the best place to let us know about these issues. Be sure that the team is working on this intensely.

The best thing players can do is continue to report every incident of suspected botting behavior they witness using the in-game ticketing system.

No. You you will need a second account in order to play simultaneously on two computers (of any kind).

Hi csack,
See the My Account link just under your name near the top of this page? Just click on that, then click the Download Client link on the left side of the next page, and click the Download for Mac (Beta) link on the page after that. Once you do, you’ll be downloading the dmg file that contains the Mac installer.

There’s no need to re-register as you’ll be using the same account to log in to the PC and Mac clients.

For the full download and installation instructions, look for the Macintosh Installation Instructions link on this page.

So, I sat down and wrote about 3-4 paragraphs as to why the golems are behaving the way they are. It has less to do with some heat vision sci-fi tech, and more about the mental state of the poor golems simply looking for hugs and friends.

In the end I decided not to post it. It was much too depressing. Suffice to say though, it’s your fault they explode because you are avoiding their hugs and adoration. You monster.

I had my first encounter with a suspension due to unauthorized log-in attempts today and although I’m confident that support will help me resolve the issue and get my account back, I’m wondering about future log-in attempts.

I use a unique password for each of my accounts and I believe that really saved me this time but these attempts seem to be horribly common even according to Mike O’Brien’s message about account security. He mentioned that they could see attempts using specific usernames with specific passwords in attempts trying to find a match where people have been reusing passwords.

I have to ask, wouldn’t it save a lot of headaches if GW2 used more unique account names? I was hopeful for this when creating my account here but everyone on the forums and in-game can see my account name. Even using emails which are hidden can be horrible for an alternate choice because emails are used all over the place. Like using a gmail account would link your email, youtube, guild wars and guild wars 2 accounts all together—at the least—especially if you have your two games linked to utilize the HoM bonuses.

I’d really recommend and like to see hidden and unique usernames for logging-in to the game. Just a thought/suggestion.

Your display name — what you see here on the forums — is not your username or your log-in name.

How did they contact Customer Support by phone, when we do not offer phone support? That’s a mystery to me!

We will have account restorations in the future, for compromised accounts. They will not be used to undo an accidental item deletion or to offer a do-over for a purchase. Accounts will be reviewed and must meet certain requirements in order to be restored.

I am sorry, but I cannot give you a timeframe for the implementation of account restorations. I do believe it will be relatively soon, though.
