Guild Wars 2

i know ALOT of people are going to trash talk and say yatatata but this is a serious exploit that needs to be fixed ASAP or it will destroy the market.. as it already is..
in the cursed shore area… there is a tunnel area that spawns 3-4 oricalcum veins the exploit here is that people will switch servers and spawn with a whole new set of oricalcum ores… then continue on.. simple solution is too make server changing cost gems… or simply remove the veins from the location or random spawn them everytime you are in a map…sorry too all you people that were explioting this… but i also would like to see ANet take this matter serious and fix it ASAP… thanks… as you can see in the video i posted to as a response to kryptonites answer… you can go ahead and follow but i suggest you not because in guild wars 2 TOU which no one reads probably LOL… its specificly says " You will not exploit any bug in Guild Wars 2 and you will not communicate the existence of any such exploitable bug (bugs that grant the user unnatural or unintended benefits) either directly or through public posting, to any other user of Guild Wars 2. " so that being said things should be cleared up do this at your own risk of getting potentially banned…

There is no tunnel with multiple ori veins. There is an underground tunnel which spawns the event boss king along with a few mithril veins.

The ori nodes are far too spread out to make server swapping an even plausible solution to farm. Eventually server transfers will be restricted anyways.

exploit much?? i think so here is the tunnel i was talking about…

i feel ashamed for having that guy in the guild. fixed now, thanks Duece.

" You will not exploit any bug in Guild Wars 2 and you will not communicate the existence of any such exploitable bug (bugs that grant the user unnatural or unintended benefits) either directly or through public posting, to any other user of Guild Wars 2. "

But this is just the point, it’s not a bug, it’s a mechanic that is in the game AND will remain in the game once paid transfer is up, so don’t get your hopes up too much. The reason people will still be able to do this (maybe less often) is due to the guesting system (which is great).

Granted, it’s an easy way to gain money or the needed orichalcum for your lvl 80 armor, jewelry or weapons, but it still requirs the player to put in a lot of time to get this run done once. The thing is, on American servers there’s no downtime on the transfers I heard, EU has a few minutes downtime. This could already be part of the ‘solution’.

But if anything, there are a lot more pressing matters to be solved, I don’t blame the people at all for wanting to gain money like this, as I said, this does not fall into the category of bug or exploit, it’s smart use of mechanics.
With the anti-bot mechanism farming for a longer time is getting ruled out, even a 1-hour farm of certain events (non-bugged events) with lots of mobs or just random areas with a high density of mobs is ruled out, with the immense fluctuation on TP and sometimes incredibly expensive stuff, people need to find other means to gain their money. Anet seems to be punishing people who find non-exploit ways to gain their money a bit faster (latest patchnotes changed the exp/gold gained from dungeon fast farming). This is kinda stupid, it seems they want their main base of players to be poor and only the very few lucky ones to be loaded.

Orichalcum spawns in different locations on each server. Not sure how he’s doing it, but my suspicion is that it’s an older build.
