Guild Wars 2

The bots have been reported day in and day out the same ones over and over and yet after 2 weeks they are still in the same spot. Yup seems like the system works. We have to use SS cause the way that is in place now does not work.

Sunny Side.7960:

When people say muti-boxing they almost definitely mean using a program to mimic commands to multiple computers, why would you think they mean manually using accounts?

Multi-boxing is most definitely wrong. This guy is doing no more work then anyone ells but getting 5 times the reward.

He or she is using the resources he/she has at hand. Explain to me how he/she is affecting your game play, I am curious. So if he/she gets x5 the loot (for x5 accounts they bought) that is not fair? How is it not fair? How does it affect you?

Horrify.7625:

I read in another post about this by one of the anet guys that boxing is should be reported. They are using 3rd party programs.

I’m not 99% sure that these guys are quad boxing, I’m 100% sure.

If you are referring to this Anet guy here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Q-Is-multi-boxing-allowed/first#post245276

Clearly the moderator of that post appears to be making a judgement call as opposed to stating actual policy. Just because something is third-party, does not make it inherently bad as I said earlier. Clearly this moderator does not have this understanding. It’s not uncommon to see posts like this from GMs/Mods who aren’t up to speed on the particular issue.

I obviously don’t have the final answer from ArenaNet but it should be fairly obvious to tell the difference between bots and multiboxers in GW2…

One is against actual policy and one is not…. It is all there in black and white.

How does someone who paid for 4 accounts using a multibox program affect you? Nothing is automated, no coding is changed, the only thing that happens is that keystrokes and mouse clicks are mirrored.

Here is a quote from the GW2 User Agreement below https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-user-agreement/
You further acknowledge that use of the Software may require additional licenses, such as a license to any applicable operating system or other third-party software, and that You are responsible for obtaining and agreeing to any applicable third-party license before You enter into this agreement………………………

So just because something is third-party, does not make it inherently bad. It’s impossible to play any PC game without using any “third party software”. The game itself relies on third party software, such as Windows and DirectX. It is a common misunderstanding of the terms set forth in a game’s EULA/ToS/ToU. “Third Party” does not imply that you are doing anything wrong. All it means is that the software does not come from the First or Second parties, which are the game publisher (e.g. Anet) and you.

If you think that “Third Party Software” is all bannable then 100% of every gamer would not be playing. People who actually read your EULA would know that.

As an example:
Some other common examples include video recording software (e.g. FRAPS), voice chat software (e.g. Ventrilo, Mumble, TS), even in-game instant messaging software (e.g. Xfire) are all “Third Party Programs”.

Clearly, “Third Party Software” is allowed, as long as it abides by the rules set forth in the EULA/ToS/ToU.

Assumptions are the mother of all “mistakes”. Look we can debate about should and should not’s or have and have not’s or what would be or could be. All that I was stating is that the system IS flawed.

As far as your questions about a lockout timer and not being let into a dungeon every few days from being bugged. Guess what, I have not ran a dungeon in over 5 days so how is that any diff than now!

All I need to say for any future updates that are rolled out, there is one thing that can fix almost any major bug/exlpoit………………………………………..PTR

have a nice day

I would rather have a 24 hour reset than the system that is here now. The system that is in place now is flawed and until it is fixed I can not find myself logging in. I will play something else till then.

Also I am curious why there is not a PTR. I tried to find some info for it, but I do not see any. Would be allot easier to have the masses test things before they come out because I do not think in house works.

“So now we have:

1. No gold from dungeons
2. No exp from dungeons
3. No fun from dungeons
4. No drop from dungeons
5. Ugly skins from tokens

nothing to do here."

They are killing it for me.

I suppose I could just request a refund and head on over to “Panda Town”.

Yeah same thing here……..

I am trying to log in this evening as I usually do and I am getting an error that says “The game client is unable to gain access to the login server at this time”

Error Code: 42:0:9001:3927

Please help. Just started doing it this evening.
