I was sure that someone must have reported this before I noticed it but a search of the forum gave no results so…
There are more than a few folks taking advantage of the fact that if you stand in a few spots on the WvW maps, you cannot be damaged. These spots are generally small sharp inclines that, if stood upon, make you invulnerable. One spot is just to the left of the exit gate that leads to the Northernmost supply camp (Titanpaw for example). Another is the cliff in the SW supply camp that prevents you from re-entering your side’s spawn location. You can back up onto it and not be hit.
Is this a known issue? If so, how do we report those that exploit it? There is no “Report the Skill-less” option in the game client. Not that I can find anyway.
EDIT
When I whispered him to let him know that I would bring this to Anet’s attention he let me know that he was not scared, Anet would do nothing and that I was an idiot for thinking that a ban/sanction would result. Is he right, Anet?

So this is really about getting this guy banned more than anything else…
I would like that VERY much, yes. But I would also like the act to stop. I have seen it fighting Crystal Desert and IoJ as well, I just did not know how to get the details of the offenders account back then or I would have posted their account info at that time.
I am not a fan of cheater, hackers or (off topic) those who pirate software. I am over 40 now and have seen all three types ruin perfectly good games over the years. I do not want to see that happen again here and I am MORE than willing to “Name Names” if it will help.
Get it?
The invulnerable spots around the citadel are that, part of the ring of invulnerability there. If someone’s standing in it, don’t be an idiot and try killing them.
Its fun to troll idiots while standing there if your server is being spawn camped in WvW.
It’s about the same as leading them into your legendary defenders to be face punched.
Zen,
You are 100% correct about the invulnerability ring. Trouble is, that is not what I am talking about. I might not have described it too well so here goes a different description of the issue at the Northern supply camp exit:
Walk out of the glowing door (red/green/blue) hang an immediate left. Walk to the edge of the arch that surrounds the glowing door and hang another left. You will note that you are now facing a cliff that you cannot get up to re-enter your invuln zone. There is no invuln icon but, you cannot be damaged with direct damage for some reason. AOEs might work, I do not have the means to test it. Its a glitch and some are exploiting it.
The same sort of thing happens in the SW supply camp. You do not have the invuln buff AFTER you jump off the cliff into the supply camp area but there is a spot that allows you to avaoid taking any damage.
Here’s a pic of my toon standing in the north supply camp spot (the camp is on the left and my toon’s back is to the glowing door). I would have posted this earlier but I had to redact some of my server’s chat. I keep the language filter turned off
