If somebody is skilled enough and has time enough to keep multiple accounts at the top of the leaderboard, they deserve those positions same as anybody. They very clearly aren’t exploiting or doing anything wrong if those accounts are all kept at a legend level.

Why is what the Abjured did is EXPLOITING but if i pay someone to carry me threw a raid, or threw a fractal or in previous seasons people paying players to carry them to Legendary?

That person who is at that level is taking away from other players in the game. Like if the 10 best players in the game decided to buy 10 accounts, then the top 250 players in the game are literally 5 players.

When people cheat at other aspects of the game, they are hurting no one. Literally effecting nobody, yet when the Abjured play on alt accounts they get perma banned.

Im just trying to understand what makes these things so different being they are so similar.

Someone used a great example in the new legendary thread.

If i make a sword or buy what makes it ok? If i dont have the ability to make a sword in game, i can buy off the TP or buy it from someone who can make me a sword.

All that is happening now is the control over how the sword is made.

This person with 5 accounts in the top 250 is stealing the potential chances of other players to get swords. Thats my view on it.

This is not referencing the Abjured at all lol. Carrying accounts for money mixed with match manipulation to guarantee wins on said accounts is a problem and I am not arguing that is right at all.

This is a very separate discussion with regards to a normal player having an alt or two to play on without the same stress ranked can bring playing on a main. Having multiple accounts and playing legitimately on them is not taking anything from anybody nor exploiting in any way, shape, or form. There are many people that play fair and square and have multiple accounts in the top 250. If they take spots with alts over what you can get with your main, then that’s simply your fault for not being up to that level.

Also, if 10 players buy 10 accounts a piece, that’s 100 people total, not 250. Top 250 being 5 players would be 50 accounts a piece. Your math is a bit odd here. If somebody can keep that many accounts that high over what you can do with a single main, then you’ve got problems.

If somebody is skilled enough and has time enough to keep multiple accounts at the top of the leaderboard, they deserve those positions same as anybody. They very clearly aren’t exploiting or doing anything wrong if those accounts are all kept at a legend level.

Buddy anet has access the solid proof,all we need is to give them reasonable doubt so they actually look into it.Shouldnt take more than 30 min for them to find what they need

So you have absolutely zero proof yourself that any cheating happened, even though you have said you have definitive proof. Got it.

Just because you lost it has to be due to cheating right?

Lulz

You don’t realize that Anet can also link the devices used to post on this account and see if this account is linked to your main? Lulz

But actually on a serious note, if you can describe what problems you run into, I am sure there are many of us willing to help better understand what is going wrong and how to better approach your games.

I solo queued plat on a necromancer without even using soul reaping. You don’t need a duo to get out of silver.

OP would do well to post some gameplay vids so we can tell him how to improve. But I’m betting that the OP is more interesting in getting his salt vindicated than to actually improve.

I’m not being salty i’m just asking how to climb out of silver lol

Then post gameplay. There isn’t a “one easy trick to get out of silver!”

When there is a repeated history of receiving punishment for exploitation in some way, shape, or form and an added history of circumventing said punishment, it’s quite upsetting to see Anet avoid punishment that has any sort of affect. Isn’t this the same company that took this approach to WvW exploitation previously?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/Blacktide-Thief-Hacker-Strikes-again-part-10/first#post5033684

And isn’t this a far more grave example of exploitation considering that it doesn’t just affect an in-game economy as with PvE item exploitation bans such as the Snowflake ordeal or with the WvW event above affecting a point tick for WvW, but instead the entire PvP scene, reputation, and legitimacy of competition in a gamemode that is already suffering?

Proof can be gathered through voice chat and discord messages recorded/screenshotted both prior and after the event took place, looking at the devices used for login (your account even saves records of this for you to look at online), seeing keybind changes, and comparing playstyles to previously recorded examples.

As far as punishments go, IP bans for all involved parties and removal of ill-gained rewards would be suffice. (*edit – or a fine of $400, kappa kitten yeeeeboooiiiiii)

Also, it’s lowkey hilarious how they could just take 30 seconds and look at devices used and yet they make it sound like a Sherlock Holmes movie with undergoing further investigations.

<—- Anet in this “investigation”

Guys… we’ve been toyed with all along… it’s right in front of us.

Would Superior Sigils and Runes be too many things? If not, that’d be a nice addition.

~EW

A much better implementation, and a much-needed one, in my opinion, would be to have a “sell all sigils” option with vendors. I am supposing that you would like this option to allow for an easier job of mass salvaging (now with salvage all option) green/blue/etc items and immediately depositing all mats to clear inventory. I would like to see that instead of a material tab (since it’s not really a material), there’s an option to sell all to vendors, similar to “sell junk.” Maybe this could work for rare and masterwork sigils, but not exotics?

My question is quite simple, while I fear the answer may not be: how are the guild challenger points (the ranking) calculated?

From my guild’s experience, there seems to be a difference in the amount of points you gain based on a wide range of variables. Namely, these would appear to be win streak, loss streak, division ranking, team size, and performance surrounding a period of decay.

Is there a concrete algorithm posted somewhere that I am unaware of, or would a dev be willing to elaborate on how this system calculates a given team’s ranking value?

Maybe this is purely my cosmetic-oriented mind when playing, but what are your thoughts on you being able to see your character’s back piece skin (if enabled to be visible) while on Character Select?
