Guild Wars 2

Michael.4791:

Announcing eyploits publicly so that anybody willing to exploit can start in real? Are you serious?

Well, the bad guys already know about it, let the innocents know so they do not “stumble” upon it thinking it a gift. And as I stated, ANY attempts at reproducing will result in a ban without review. Why NOT so serious?

In part response to Warlock, if they were long term GW1, and GW2 players, then they would know an exploit when they saw it. Unless of course their brain cell count is below average and simply thought that getting more from less was a cool trick.

Secondly, if ANet is not ip banning these botters/exploiters, then they are doing it wrong and should not be profiting from what is ultimately their own coding mistake as you, Warlock, have pointed out.

Finally, Warlock’s suggestion is something that should seriously be considered by the development/moderator team and whoever else needs to consider it at ANet. When an exploit is brought to the attention of ANet, a MoTD should pop up for every player that logs in to the game, every time they log in, alerting them of the exploit in detail so they know to stay away until it is fixed. Anyone who attempts the exploit after the MoTD is in place should be ip banned WITHOUT review.

An example MoTD template:

MoTD: EXPLOIT ALERT:: Here are the details of the exploit, do not attempt to reproduce this in any way as the result will be an instant ip ban without review. Some people just suck and intended on getting ahead of others through exploiting a broken system.

Of course I would laugh uncontrollably at the last part if it was put in but that was just me being me. Warlock’s idea is a good one, use it.

Do not mention ip bans ever again if you know nothing about them. They solve nothing and bring a lot more problems at the same time.

Is there not a way to pinpoint any specific device (PC, phone, printer, anything connected to that network) THROUGH a network by ipv4 or v6. Routers issue an ip address(ipv4/v6) to the devices connected which depending on router and software can be static or dynamic ip addresses. I know there are safeguards in place that hackers regularly are able to bypass but I personally do not know the difficulties of obtaining these addresses.

It would be nice to know what you may know of this as that is where my knowledge of ip addresses stop. If you thought I meant network ip banning then that is my fault for not being more specific. I would think the devs/mods(if they even read my post) saw past network ip and knew I meant device ip as network ip bans would essentially screw over a lot of innocent players possibly connected to wifi of culprit players or whatever other hundred scenarios might occur
