I think its about time this glitch ended (zone-anywhere glitch)

ppl in game are saying it's fixed now

i didn't care enough to find out how the exploit worked so i cant test this personally

A guildie offered to take me to the central transfer chamber so I could get my silver eagle set. I was about three primary quests away: not game breaking.

Mass bannings would be an overreaction. I doubt it'll come to that though.

Hahaha...NO!

I haven't done the glitch (or farmed) but all i have to say is....is that all Guild Wars is to you? A big grindfest to get to the end so you can farm?

There were still people offering this service in Lions Arch dist1 early this morning .

tbh it's not like it mattered that much, banning would be WAY out of the question. it didn't give anyone the upperhand as you still need quests and such to complete missions

I for one am sharpening my pitchfork and looking for some sort of burning brand to wave as we round up all those who took part in this heinous.........no wait hang on it was a glitch!!! it wasn't cheating !!it's a game!! get over yourself already.

p.s. I think the bigger crime here was your atrocious spelling which I took it upon myself to correct in the quote

Although I don't like it (and I'v seen plenty of peopel ferrying, and others asking to be) I havn't seen a drastic kick in the prices yet. For one I the Amulets of the Mist would have been abused to death. Simply start a new char, do glitch, get to Imperial Sanctum, get a friend/s to kill Shiro, easy Amulet...That could be done in what? Under 5 minutes? And get around 6k?

This is nowhere near as bad as duping. In fact, i'm pretty certain that many duped items are still in circulation, when I see people offering quite frankly obscene amounts of ecto for things; for example, I saw one person offering thousands upon thousands of ecto, wanting to buy panda AND kanaxaii AND island guardian AND zhed. I know some people have a lot of ecto, but quite frankly nobody has that much ecto by legitimate means i'm sure. Either duping is still around in a different form but much quieter, or there are many many duped items still in circulation that will likely never be found and deleted.

I just loged out of GW and LA and some are still offering this and saying it still works even after the 2nd "Fix"

Can you give us a serious verdict? Frankly, I doubt action will be taking and think you are only making it seem as though it could be so that fewer people will do it before it is fixed. Then, once it is fixed you will fall back on some story about ferrying not having been serious.

Might be true, or they could just be after your money....

My opinion... They shouldn't have locked gates or missions....

((Yes I know this is supposedly fixed now, but I want to give my 2 cents anyways))

Ban those using the exploit? Leave Prophecies still completely runnable with people making money off the runs...?

o_O I think, that if someone wants to spend THEIR money for a run, that they should be able to. I am aware that it is an exploit, but I still fail to see how running in Proph is any different.

And I see a very HUGE difference between armbraces and mapping. When the first bug rolled out for the mapping, I got to the last two missions in Proph and then went back and played through them both anyways (I was already at the on the first fire island mission)! I think that the high end areas are what keeps people playing. I've pretty much stopped dragging characters through because it's gotten old. I do it in Proph because I can skip ahead in some areas. Does that mean that I am a negative part of the community? If so, then hell I should stop helping people, because no one will appreciate it because I skip ahead...
Armbraces could have caused an economy collapse, that would have just flat out broken the game. Even "if" the main objective with the runs/porting were to get those books or amulets, it wouldn't change all that much since they aren't worth a whole heck of a lot anyways. I think most people just don't want to replay over and over!

*hangs head* I cannot believe that people would be so wrapped up in what everyone else is doing (when it didn't actually affect them), that they would become so engrossed, as to come here and post their hate rather than play the game... over a bug.

Hell, let's make it absolute that every area has to have its full party before entering anything. Because think about it folks - people who solo farm are exploiting a build! *sighs* Now now, no one can have more or less than anyone else, because that would be wrong.

/Ayn Rand

I understand its a bug and it should be fixed. What I don't understand is why everyone is making such a monumental deal about it when there are far worse things that haven't been fixed or stopped and are actually considered a feature and not a bug!

I haven't been mapped to an outpost or mapped anyone to an outpost so I am having a hard time getting worked up over this. Yet there are 9 pages of people crying for action. Another fine example of people playing guru more than gw? Yes, I think so. Seriously, who really wants the end game greens? Perfect gold items are basically worthless at this stage of the gw decline. Like common end game greens will upset the delicate balance of the universe ...

Other than potential end game item farming abuse (LMAO) .. who cares. If Anet finds it to be a problem .. fix it. I am sure the forum masses will find a new thing to cry about .. bring back the nerf ursan threads (note heavy use of sarcasm .. UB cry threads were already beat to death).

Speaking as a person still grinding out the rank6 koabd title track .. I am not typically in a town long enough to get upset about what other people are doing in the game. Perhaps .. some of you need to actually PLAY the game and spend less time in towns worrying about what others are doing.

you people do realize that other things were farm-able via this exploit don't you?

and (LMAO) for some reason or another, anet put a one end game green(freebie) per character limit up. this particular exploit tossed that thru the window.

People should be able to take advantage without Anet banning them.

Was in Imperial Sanctum on my ranger about an hour ago when a lvl 2 assassin, lvl 10 rit and a lvl 20 warrior zoned in together. Either they had taken advantage earlier on or it's not fixed

A guildie was able to do abbadons gate no problem.

Really, what mostly came out of this was that some people were able to get the armor and things that they were wanting without having to grind through a bunch of missions they had already done hundreds of times. I'm sure some people had devised schemes to make money off of it (aside from being the person who ferried), but it wasn't really wide-spread enough to make that big of an impact on anything.

Most of you that are whining are probably just mad because you couldn't figure out how to do it, and didn't want to pay for a ferry.

Its fixed i just tri... Uhmm I heard from a friend... any way it keeps sending "him" back to Great Temple of Balthazar... So I've heard...

It would appear now that the exploit has been fixed, but my level 7 character in Ascalon cannot view any Guild Halls.

I go to my GH, I select a GH to visit, it starts to load the hall, but boots me back to Ascalon.

I haven't been following the situation much, but was this a problem before?

This is what I surmise from the Game Updates

-Exploit was fixed caused people without LA to not be able to visit GH's
-Fixed problem with Visting GH's, re-enabled Exploit?
-Fixed Exploit, Caused people not to visit GH's.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not complaining. I'd rather have the exploit fixed and not be able to view GH's.

interesting, not sure what they would do about that.
$5 says the exploit comes back lol.

I'm disappointed. I didn't know about this in time and thought it'd be a nice opportunity to outfit all characters with green Wayward Wands and shit for my money-greedy heroes.

Oh and if you were warped to abbadon's gate mission in nf, and didn't beat it, your out of luck, there isn't a way back to the RoT.

Unless they were smart enough to get a lift to the portal first...

I wasn't. XD

Edit: DAMMIT! I got HzH but not KC. T_T

The problem with access to game areas before a person learns to play with the limited provisions of early areas has always been that lack of learning. When you start your level 1 with max armor, and have not played a caster, a tank, a healer - then you end up with a buffer that undermines your punishment for bad skill. (Death is the result of bad skill, lol.) IMO - once an account has been to X place, then that player should have X place open. But if they have no experience playing then jump up to the higher powered armor and weapons they will get less effective training at lower levels and be inefficient when they reach areas designed for 20s with max weapons and armor.

Since people still ebay for gold (while I refuse to do so) all other exploits - like access to treasure chests are immaterial. Since a Pre character can make 300k just helping a 20 people DL 2 levels, I see no reason to prevent any other exploit for cash. The fact is, all fads for cash are motivated by an economy that is excessively poor in comparison to the costs of the environment (Death Leveling in Pre, Wisdom track, Treasuer Hunter track, Sweet Tooth track, Drunkard Track, things for HoM). And yes, the drunkard track has gotten some relief with the Wintersday Chest and occasional drops of hunter's ale.

Relevant link about the usefulness of this as a feature, not a bug.
Please focus on the OP and legitmate arguments. Not a thread about banning people who exploited, and so forth. Treat it as a new idea.

Or maybe I shouldn't post the link in here at all... :X

My only regret is that I didn't have 3k, or friends online. Am I a bad person? I really don't think so. I've logged more hours than most folks, and saved the world 2-3 times with most toons. Just wanted ancient armor for a toon that hasn't done all of Nightfall to BP yet. Alas, it was not meant to be.

Funny you first pay the very people you are complaining about, and thus contribute to their making of moeny you are complaining about by your very deeds.

Unfortunately, this has been a problem for a very long time regardless of anyone being teleported or "ran" somewhere.

Did you think that maybe that person got a friend to zone, for free? I think not. (It doesn't mean it was right, I highly disagree with those who have used this flaw, yes a flaw in the game!)

saw someone with 42 books in kamdem....um thats not suspicous. i mentioned he must of used the glitch and well he dissapeared. i happened to of changed districts and there he was

My friend got his whole game mapped out on each character. He's going for a lvl 1 carotographer xD

Doubt that's gonna be possible given that you can't always go around mobs. He's gonna have to kill sometime.

To be truthful I could care less if someone can get here and there with the exploit.It doesnt effect my game.

Same. Don't care too much if people have beaten NF on lv1's... doesn't affect me and/or the economy.

I took my second warrior to Vasburg Armory, getting KC and LA in the same time, gotten my mesmer in Bone Palace to get armor (beating Factions in the process x]) and beaten NF on my paragon.

But I intend to get my paragon, mesmer and second warrior all outposts because I KNOW I'll end up getting them through the campaigns. My warrior is lv4, I need to get him lv20... my mesmer will have to beat all 3 campaigns fully because I refuse to farm for his survivor title (sitting at 250k exp atm, so lazy)... and I intend to get my paragon through NF anyways to cap skills.

I like it because I hate going through storylines tbh.

It should be fixed, because it's wrong. But if it doesnt get fixed I'd be a happy guy.

well its fixed now, i got gate of anguish on my monk so now i dont have to do nundu bay... my only regret is that i didnt get nahpui quarter.
