looks like only some maps are broken
Frostgorge is gone…
LA, Bloodtide, Sparkfen, Southsun, Dredgehaunt, Mt Maelstrom, Blazeridge are still working
My theory on this is that you can get into existing, open maps. But if some maps are nearly full and GW2 wants to create a new instance of that map, things break and you time out.
4.And as stated above, you may not program your keyboard to perform functions on more than one account at a time.
a. For example, if you press W on your keyboard to move forward, a single character on a single account should move forward. The keystroke or mouse click should not perform functions on more than one account.
This is actually the point I was confused about. Let’s say Account 1 logs in, uses an attack, then stops altogether (cancels autoattack, faces away from event). Then Account 2 logs in, does the same. Repeat. So no two accounts are doing the same thing at the same time, nor are any accounts other than the last even using autoattacks. So only one account is actively attacking at a time, but since the others tagged for credit, they can just AFK there. As far as I’ve seen, this is completely within the ToS, but this also means that a multi-boxer can legitimately farm a particular event with a rare drop using this method. If this is okay with ANet, then there’s no need for me to report it, but if they don’t want this type of behavior, I wasn’t sure how to report it (although I now know about this due to previous replies).
So I know ANet’s okay with multiple accounts, but doesn’t allow multi-boxing (playing multiple accounts at once to do events, farm, etc). My question is how should I report it? I’m posting on an alt account, cuz I farm a particular event daily and have seen someone multi-box at that event (they leave one account logged in near the event and when the event starts, they log onto their other accounts simultaneously to get event credit). There’s not really a category for reporting multi-boxing (or even witnessing someone knowingly using exploits). Does ANet even watch for multi-boxing? Is there an appropriate way to report it?
