GvG rollback .......... Official :(

Great, they did do a rollback after all. A fairly quick fix to the skill, and then a rollback to sort out the ladder. Nice one

I'm glad to hear this.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

thanks anet

Good job Anet. You did a great thing rolling back the gvg ladder. Too many ppl took advantage of an unintentional bug to get where they didn't deserve to be.

It is good for the overall game that's for sure, but it doesn't personally make me very happy as we lost some of our (fairly earned) rating.
Then again, I'm not even close to be in a topguild, and I suppose those that would have been kicked out of the play-offs had the roll-back not occured are very happy.

Most of all, I'm happy with the quick action of Anet .

I do feel for the guilds that got somewhere higher in the rankings the legit way, but I feel even worse for those who were knocked out by cheaters trying to get a leg up. And while I think that it likely would have sorted itself out in time I also think the rollback was also well and good and solved the issue much quicker.

GJ Anet!

Excellent solution - it also shows that A-Net is willing to change PvP results related to exploits, which should discourage those guilds that are so quick to jump on that bandwagon.

I guess we're lucky that this rollback don't change our ranking for PvP or HA.

The rollback was nessecery.
No guilds will be upset by this. What's 2 days compared to a season? They can just pick up from where they left, and everyone lies in the same boat. People who lost to this exploit deserve the rollback, and guilds should and will understand that. Afterall, GvG is about fun, not rank.

I got the distinct impression that they didn't want to do this from Gaile's posts... oh well. Just goes to show that Anet's motto should be "Expect the unexpected," in a good way.

Btw, no, I don't have stacks of ectos and I don't do any powertrading. This just doesn't make any economic sense, to make all items of equal value.

quote i read in TA: "note to all offenders. go abuse it in HA as its much easier to get away with it seeing as it is much easier to rollback the ladder, than the servers...."

that comment made me utterly sick when i read it last night, but sadly as much as i hate to admit it, while its great to see that those that abused it in gvg got caught and fixed the problem, the guilds/players that abused this in halls, got away with it.

still though, great job with the rollback for the gvg ladder, was impressed when i read that was happening

Wat was the eploit? I know some thing with Sig of might, but what?

When i initally made this post, the frownie was for the rating my team was going to lose for our battles during that time. But since i noticed we did not lose any rating or wins for that, i turn the into a

When the Dwarves sell S'Mores, then I will know Operation Cutebot has succeeded.

What about rollback faction/fame? Not that I would want that...but if someone found the bug they could do Random Arenas with a Me/Rt with ---Keystone Signet--- (LOL) and Mantra of Signets and Inscriptions and such and rack up tons of faction.

Wait...nevermind...I earned like 4k faction during those times using Shock Sword...but perhaps in the future if a bug like this is found all PvP aspects should be rolled...I dunno.

Everyone who played that day and didn't use the exploit? The rollback didn't just affect those two abusing hours, but 12 more. My guild for example lost 20 games with that. With this "punishment", ANet actually helped the abusers more.

ELO system would have eventually taken care of all the abusers on ladder, but great guilds like Capita Cerberi lost close to hundred points just because some lamers wanted to grief people and get fame / champion points.

it was nesscary,
i know some players who left there guilds to take advantage of the expolits.

So the cheaters got their "rewards" (aka wins) taken back but not punished and those who did not use the exploit (non cheaters) got their wins taken back?

Rolling back the ladder is not punishment to cheaters you know. it is like taking the money back from a bank robber and letting them walk away.

So basically, the cheaters are not punished but the non-cheaters where?

Nice... really nice.

good job anet, my guild of course didnt take advantange of said exploit..

Awesome, I'm glad they did this. Maybe people won't abuse a glitch again.
