Guild Wars 2

People have probably noticed by now that since the Wardrobe update, Runes and Sigils are working in Activities (probably because Activities work off the PvP system). Unfortunately this has led to an increase in unscrupulous players deliberately exploiting this bug to cheat their way to victory in various Activities. The worst offender I saw last night was in Southsun Survival; one player was using Sigil of Geomancy + Sigil of Ice on his weapons to inflict massive amounts of damage on nearby enemies whenever he picked up/dropped bundle weapons, and also using Runes of the Dolyak to gain inherent health regen that basically negated any damage he received from hunger.

On more than one occasion, when it became clear that he could not win against the other surviving players, he swam out into the ocean where he could not be attacked (by either other players or by ghosts), and then just outlasted the other player since his health regen from the Runes was enough to prevent him dying to hunger. (And this was a dead giveaway that the player knew full well what he was doing too.)

This REALLY needs to be fixed, and soon. It’s making a mockery of the Activities. Some bans/suspensions for players deliberately exploiting the bug would be a good move too. :P
