Guild Wars 2

this is a problem its not going afk and leaving up turrets do defend wile you do something its this, leaving turrets in event zones out of reach of mobs so when people come by and do events the turrets gets hits in and get kills and event credit for the engineer. This is pure exploiting the game mechanics dont do it. (and i cant find the engineer who did it)

Finally, a use for turrets!

Finally, a use for turrets!

lol

So you’re complaining that a player found a way to put his turret in a safe place? If he’s not close enough to aggro enemies, the rifle (or any other turret) doesn’t do enough damage to knock out the rapid regen capabilities of mobs. If a mob can’t reach the player, then he will turn invincible and run away.

The only way that the rifle will do damage while the owner is afk is if another is engaged with the enemy. This means that the other player is (either wittingly or unwittingly) exploiting the use of the rifle by keeping the monster in range of it.

Placing the rifle turret where the mob can’t reach it could be called exploiting, but the mob will go invulnerable if it can’t reach the creature that’s aggroing it. Eventually it will reset, and you have to aggro it all over again.

Hi! Please report possible exploits to exploits@arena.net and do not discuss them on the forums.
Thanks for your understanding.
