Hey there,
I just discovered a critical exploit which you can use to crash anyone's client.

If anyone from Anet gets to read this thread please PM me and I will tell you how it's done so you can fix it... You could easily win HoH or it could maybe even be exploited to send fake packets to other clients and make them believe you are a GM for example. So quick, this needs fixing!

I will be posting a screenshot from when I crashed an AB, brb..

Edit: Here you have it

I saw that happen when they had the special AB weekend not long ago. Must have been 6 or 7 people that got disconnected at the same time. I figured it was a problem server side.

No this isnt a server side problem, I can do it again whenever i want, and I crashed every kurzick in the AB, just not myself.

I could crash Luxon if I were in the luxon team, but I'm sure if i try messing a bit around I could just crash everyone.

Ah, I was going to say, if you can only crash your team, then it couldn't be used to win HoH.

Time for FFF.

Also: some people would consider your skill bar alone as griefing.

Well.. I did it twice, once to test it, and then to make a screenshot. Both times luxons won because the captured everything.

Wouldn't it be smarter of you to send an email to Arena Net's support team instead of posting it on a Forum where everyone can read about it and might even abuse it?

I don't see any proof of an exploit at all. Just a screenshot of people disconnecting.

I don't think anyone could find out how to do it before Anet fixes it, it's not a very easy exploit actually, and on the screenshot there is no hint of how it could be done.

I'm inclined to believe him. Especially since he's willing to take people to test it.

Wow, crazy.

I remember a couple of Dragon Festivals ago, Anet said they fixed something like this.

And then they did a rollback, making me lose some Lucky points...

Can't even flood GW; after a few short messages sent in a row you get suppression messages to avoid that sorta thing.
