I think you should read Mike O’Brien’s article on account security. It has a lot of information about how accounts are compromised and how to prevent it, as well.

The best thing players can do to fight this is continue to report every incident of suspected botting behavior they witness using the in-game ticketing system. The team is continuing to work on various solutions (as seen here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/On-Botting-and-What-We-re-Doing-About-It). Thanks for the continued reports and everyone’s patience. It’s greatly appreciated!

The timestamp within threads does exist. If you click on the text that says “about a day ago” it will change over to a timestamp that uses your system time zone. For example, by clicking the text in the first post, it changes to read “Yesterday, 08:43”. This setting is also saved across the forum until you change it.

I just did this as a L42 warrior, I used dual axes instead of a hammer since they’re faster. I didn’t run into any problems, especially with the 2 NPCs to help. I found that staying at range was very dangerous becuase of the powerful rock throw, but if I stayed in melee it never threw any rocks at me. I only got knocked down once, but if that’s an issue for you, try the Balanced Stance utility skill.
