Guild Wars 2

Greetings.

I just happened to gain 9 silver in what i consider an unfair way. I think it might be exploitable. ArenaNet says “report exploits by sending mail to … but we wont respond back”.

But what if i have to get a response? Because obviously, i want to know, wether i should “destroy” those 9 silver in order not to get banned for exploiting, or wether i’m fine, or wether its was not an exploit at all, but something else happened that i didnt notice that awarded me with said 9 silver?

(obviously i cannot describe the exploit in question here in forum post)

First of all, I wouldn’t worry about getting banned. On the contrairy of what people on forums might say, you rarely getting band for using exploits unless you use thirdparty for it. The thing is, the exploits are bugs that Arenanet let in, so that can’t really punnish you for using them.

Of course that doesn’t mean you should keep on using it. My suggestion is: keep the 9 silver as a reward for reporting the exploit, but resist the temptation of using it again ;-)

Well, ANet’s stance is “you use it you get permaban”, look what happened to those who used cayene poppers (or whatever it was) exploit (buying cheap karma items, crafting and selling to vendor for a lot of gold, it was a very efficient karma→gold conversion). All permabanned (well, they were given chance to repent and destroy all earned gold, in order to get unbanned, but its one time action by ANet as they clearly stated).

If you see an exploit, report it and stop exploiting it.

If you are just playing normally when it occurs to you that what you are doing could be an exploit, just stop. Report it. Don’t say anything to anybody else about it and go about your gameplay.
