Guild Wars 2

As many of you may know, when you leave a tonic in WvW it activates on heal sigils. I know many thieves and mesmers who use it to activate various runes like balthazar or centaur and never knew if it was considered an exploit or not.

I have heard arguments for and against it and was hoping a dev could way in on if it was considered an exploit or if it was fair game to use. I have tried asking dev’s in game and have never gotten an answer. Thank you very much for your time!

PS: I am hoping for conformation from a developer or GM or someone with ACTUAL knowledge. While I appreciate all opinions this is a matter of whether an aspect of the game is working as intended so the only opinion that matter are those belonging to ANET.

Yes, it’s an exploit. When other items that had similar effects (town clothes, toy items, other transforms, etc) were found, they were disabled in WvW. If you know the specific item being used, you should put in a bug report.

Or send your findings to exploits@arena.net. You aren’t likely to get a specific developer confirmation: if it’s an exploit, they won’t want to advertise that. If it’s not, they might not take the time to reply (and instead, reply to a more urgent or critical concern).
