The blog post ANet came out with was pretty clear that this encounter was only getting a slight change to make it more fun, not harder. I have no idea why people expected this to be like the teq revamp.
Thanks ANet! Didn’t expect the ban hammer to happen this fast. A nice belated Wintersday gift to the community.
Evening
The vast majority of players you see in the Wintersday JP with a score of Zero are Tele Hacking. What they are doing is concealing themselves within the three starting platforms (inside and under the starting platform) and then teleporting to 4-5 points, all while concealed, before teleporting directly to the loot chest.
You can witness this by standing at the edge of a platform and panning your camera around and underneath, where if you look carefully you’ll see a bobbing red aura. Clicking that aura will target the player hiding inside (you can also target call click them). Most of them are inside the Snowman platform and you can easily see them from Gingerbread.
I didn’t believe it was this bad, but it is.
Edit: Many of these cheaters are running an additional script that immediately logs them out the second you target call them. Had to add several people to my friends list just to submit a report.
