I think its about time this glitch ended (zone-anywhere glitch)
Molock
Uh yeah.. the bug is still around. People in my guild were doing it yesterday..

If a game isn't pay to play, I'm all for sequence breaking if it doesn't involve a glitch.
But if it's a glitch then it should be fixed.

yeah, the endgame greens of all campaigns are pretty much mediocre, both in terms of skin and stats. They were overly common to begin with.
...on a side note, i think Tyria needs some end game greens after Hell's Precipe. Seems only fair since all the others have them!

What factors do you think they should base bans over this on?
IMO, they should ban the people charging for it and figure out how to wipe specific outposts from characters, and just do that. Too many people are doing this, and its way more tame then say the duping thing, so I don't think it justifies a perma-ban. The thing is, this would take a way more complex algorithm to trace than say searching for 150+ armbraces on a character.

It seems that this will not be fixed anytime soon. Gaile posted this in the Dev Tracker Forum:
Now this was in regards to the glitch where the ambassador wouldn't show halls, but it seems Anet is on vacation until Jan 2.

It is now Christmas Eve, and I do not think that it would be reasonable to expect that anyone from the team will be able to address this for at least a few days, perhaps not until January 2nd. I am very sorry for the delay -- I know it's a frustrating bug. But the team has been working hard, and they deserve their Wintersday break. Too, many key team members are traveling to various places for the holidays, so those who might need to be involved in the bug fix may be in a different state... or even on a different continent! Thank you in advance for your patience as the team resolves the issue. We will continue to review the thread in case other details are provided that help in detecting the cause of the glitch. __________________ Gaile Gray Community Relations Manager ArenaNet The Guild Wars Site |

Actually, if the problem is about people making gold out of this, then an alternative is to announce it everywhere so people who dont know wont be paying "runners". Just a thought

I'd be all over this and have every outpost in all campaigns on all my characters, but I don't want to miss the Wintersday finale. Decisions, decisions...

Fix it? Sure. Ban? Why? I'm not saying it isn't an exploit, I'm not saying people who are using it aren't really cheating the game and themselves, but it's getting rather close to the end of GW's lifespan. Banning a bunch of people who just want to get to the content that they enjoy in a game at little expense to the playerbase as a whole isn't really going to be a wise move for Anet--those people will likely be very upset, and not purchase/support/give a shit about GW2.
Neo Nugget
people weren't banned from the HoS chest run, they called that an exploit.
They tried to fix it before, but couldn't.
People didn't get banned for ferrying to Docks, or Slavers either.

But with this glitch people are making a lot larger profit than just by farming and doing a lot less work.

Our objective is not to punish, but to repair. And I've heard from at least three GW team members who are working hard to do just that. If anyone ultimately gets punished -- either for using the exploit, from promoting or publicizing it, or for profiting from it -- that is truly secondary to closing the loophole as quickly as possible.
Dang, 6am3 Fana71c, that's a great image. I've not see it before. *lol*

Thanks to everyone for your patience as we resolve this. If you continue to have concerns, I will be happy to try to address them for you.

Its still going on..everyone in Kamadan is spamming it still..
-Sonata-
GW2 is still a long ways away and if certain people are exploiting known bugs I'm already under the assumption they don't give a shit already. If there's bans coming, so be it. If not, so be it. I just want it fixed. If people want to get to areas so bad, play the game, or get the old fashion run.
Those who truly value their accounts do not engage in actions in which they know they're risking a possible ban/suspension. If, in the end, some players are suspended for a certain amount of time, well, maybe it'll be another lesson learned. Then again, maybe not.

to bad the damage that has been done by people that have been opening buried treasures (etc) wont be undone... here come all the gems.

one warning in one district in one town, either it need to be globally accounced, or added to the accouncement screen, otherwize it not a real warning.
ya know when i think about it, mb they shound give those exploiters a title, mb Legendary Ferry of Ascolon, seeing how anet love to reward those who are inovated enough to break their mold.

This is waht I have to say on it.
If they ban anyone for doing it then they need to ban everyone who used the Zchest before the keys were enabled, as its the same thing.

I think anyone who participated in this explot should be pernamently banned, no questions asked.

I don't want to be or sound like I'm a mean person. I just want to let people know that if they use an exploit, they may get a block or ban on their account. I don't really know right now what will happen to those who use this exploit, who promote its use, or who profit from it. Maybe nothing will happen at all. But with Wintersday just two days away, I want players to think about it a bit, about what they might be doing or might be tempted to do, so that they don't risk losing access to one of the best days of the game year.

1. used the gate trick in Foundry
2. used the door glitch to kill Mallyx
3. bought stacks of black dyes, ectos at 250g when anet resetted the prices 2.5 years ago
4. dupped the armbraces. I seriously doubt all the duppers were banned.
5. ferried goods to/from pre/post searing
6. benefited from the 30% enchant items.
... very long list ...
This game has its share of bugs. If you ban everyone who 'exploited', not many players left.

If the zone-anywhere glitch is seen to be a serious-enough issue to deserve account action, that action will be taken. I don't know yet what decision will be made about it. But at the end of the day, this is sort of like a casino: Casino personnel can't catch every person who cheats at cards, but that doesn't keep them from looking, or from reacting when they catch a cheater.
Daenara
I can't see why there's such a big fuss. Yes, it's an exploit that needs to be fixed.. but seriously, the torches and pickforks should be put away. It's not economy breaking like the duping.. it doesn't affect anyone but the person who is ferried. Besides, every man and his dog owns an exalted aegis by now, or any end game green :P There has to be thousands (millions? ) out there already, I can't see it weakening the "market" for them further.

Its like during the NBA playoffs and the media made all the hush hush about 2 players stepping on the floor when they weren't supposed to...
Its all about the community and how up in arms they get or else people just don't notice it and nothing is done
Kinda sad because i hope i'm not banned for this...
I didn't take anybody on rides other than myself and a few guildies mainly to get armor instead of running through areas again 3rd 4th time
oh well i'll wait and see what happens

As for the 30% mod episode, the benefit was not significant, but what's significant was the scrapping of the item only happened after someone posted a sell thread of these things, then anet nerfed them, with the lingering thought about XYZ guild people getting advance nerf warning, etc etc.

Vanquishing and a new build is available, hmm wonder what that is about?

just 1 file but might be it, hopefully.
i'm not sure how this exploit worked, u could just create a new char and map him to few cities? if this was possible and someone opened multiple buried treasures like this, that's who's deserving a big ban imho
