Guild Wars 2

Mild Exploit:

Apparently, during Beta, it was possible to apply the experience rewards from doing dungeons to Maguuma Jungle masteries by waiting until you returned to Maguuma Jungle to open the bouncy chest.

I’m not sure this is an exploit. You can do the same with any chest earned in core Tyria. /shrug

Not sure offhand what other chests award experience on opening, especially experience comparable to that of a dungeon reward chest. Do you think the dungeon reward chests are behaving as intended when they can be used to advance the mastery track in a different part of the game? Probably not. Can it be argued that doing this gives an advantage? One could try to make that argument. Thus exploit, though only mildly so, as you still have to do the dungeons; it’s not like you’re being rewarded for content you didn’t do, you’re just (in a sense) being given the wrong reward for said content.

Many used Map Completion chests in Heart of Maguuma. There’s a whole thread about this practice over in the HoT or GD sub-forum. I guess we will find out in a day or so. /shrug

Yeah, sounds fair. Figured I’d post about it to make sure eyes were on the potential issue, and ANet will decide if it’s actually a problem.
