Were you fighting a mesmer outside of SM on green side just before this thread happened?
I was but that wasn’t what prompted me to post this thread. It was an engi on TCBL who put all the conditions that existed on me and didn’t let me cleanse much before I died. By the time I was fighting in EBG, I was getting massive lag and half my skills weren’t hitting even though they clearly did on my screen (no “miss” or “block” prompts either)

Your every word is wrong.
We have exploits and exploiters (which I won’t explain them in here since ANet chooses silencing people that talk about hacks instead of fixing them) since day -3 which the most game breaking issue in this game. In Season 2, many servers wanted a fix or at least a punishment; however, all they did was locking and deleting the topics. Those hacks and exploits are still(nope I don’t use them) there and I don’t predict any fix them soon.
But I am good at predicting white knight arguments. Probably there will be “2 years is not enough for a fix. IT IS SOFTWARE, YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND!” post is coming.
No. Look at it this way: as long as your game doesnt crash when somebody else uses hacks this is NOT a game breaking bug.
And actually, this kind of stuff isn’t the fault or even concern the WvW Dev team (if it exists). If they would choose to ban the exploiters accounts, the hack itself would be still intact and most likely published everywhere. Imagine if even people who dont know how to use google would get access to the hack.
This kind of stuff is for engine developers. Sadly they have to do a lot of other work aswell and nobody wants to do bugfixing as a full time job, I can tell you that.
If they choose not to ban then it gets spread that people can do it and not get banned, by the people annoyed that it’s happening. If the ban hammer is going then there is at least a degree of deterrence and people stopped by it.

The fact still remains that if there was a bug interfering with the Gem Store, you could rest assured that it’d be fixed within 24 hours.
WvW has been largely neglected since launch. I mean, the only key updates we’ve gotten were EotM, which is a beautiful map that unfortunately became a karma train camping ground, and account-bound World Experience, which ANet held off intentionally to add to their amazing Feature Patch.
To put it simply, they literally had one job for this whole season: distributing rewards once the matches came to a close. It’s disappointing to see that they can’t even do that correctly or in a timely manner. I understand that unforeseen problems pop up during implementation, but, to put if frankly, that’s a pretty lame excuse when this is the only update that had to be pushed out for WvW over the duration of Season 2 and even going as far back as the arrival of the Feature Patch
I already said it earlier, but maybe if WvW actually got periodic updates, I would be a lot more empathetic towards ANet and wouldn’t really mind that the rewards were delayed; in all honesty, it’s just a skin that doesn’t really amount to anything. But, since this is really the only thing that WvW-focused players have had to look forward to all season, I really just can’t wrap my head around what ANet’s so-called WvW Team has been doing this whole time.
I would say that main problem with this are ppl who changed server, before/middle/after season 2 of wvw. Now there must be tracking programe which has the history data of each account, or just take a note which server you were, on the beginning of season. So my guess is that it is complicated in way to know what prize player won, not if he won (because it should work as any living world reward). As for me this matter is also dissapointing (skins on daggers are ugly for my ele, need mistforged ;d), but flaming on working people, who gives us alot of expansions without subscribsion/limitation is just not fair. Just be patient.
That might help somewhat in terms of seasons but not overall longevity of WvW. As for the expansions comment, Anet has given a lot of content in terms of pve but for WvW it’s been overwhelmingly light and infrequent. Like the owners of starving dog throwing bone scraps out back every now and then to keep from having to exert the effort of burying the thing.
