Guild Wars 2

There is a Charr Mesmer on BlackGate who seems to be exploiting their pull ability to pull people off of siege weapons in WvW (while he is without Line of Sight and farther than the supposed range of the ability). Three times tonight this Charr Mesmer would go around pulling people off the siege weapons up on the cliffs of our base in the middle of their assault, which would prevent us from defending our towers properly. Had he not been exploiting this bug then we would have been able to stop their assault on our tower at Dawn’s Eyrie.

I mentioned it in chat and everyone seemed convinced it was a bug that he was exploiting, since he couldn’t get Line of Sight with his face against the cliff and also because I was definitely out of the abilities range. ArenaNet, if you don’t consider this an exploit then please let me know when you will be fixing everyone elses abilities so they don’t require LOS either. Fair is fair after all. If this is an exploit, then please find the report I was able to send in for him and see that he is banned. Thank you.

This is not a WvW bug. However the Mesmer was taking advantage of a SAB bug that increases line of sight by allowing the camera to remain in eagle eye position thus increasing the field of view in the game.

I realize pulling someone is not an exploit, it’s one of their abilities. But manipulating the game so that you can use abilities through walls or beyond it’s quoted range is an exploit. Therefore this Charr Mesmer player is aware that he is cheating and deserves to be banned. I was able to right-click on his portrait and submitted a report for either Scamming or Botting. Please locate it and see that he is warned, and if he continues please ban him. If nothing is done about it then more people will get wind and do it. So please make an example out of him. Thank you.
