If someone with as little computer knowledge as me has the ability to hack a sophisticated gaming system such as Guild Wars, I think they have far larger issues to look at. I personally would be weary of giving them any of your credit card information if this is the kind of security they have in place…“hacked” by 117 people and it took them months to do anything about it.
You want to know how little they actually know about what is going on? They have sent private messages to some of us 117 asking us about how we did this. This is, of course, after receiving emails from support saying logs have been rigorously reviewed and they know exactly what we did, and how many times we did it. Seems rather contradictory on their part. If you know what we did and how often we did it so well, why are you having to ask us how to use this glitch?
You want to know another lie that has continued to be upheld as truth? That we had to do this repeatedly and an excessive number of times for it to result in a ban. A close friend of mine who had a character on an alternate account saved to the town, that never even did the mission once, had their account banned. So what is this lie about you must have done the mission at least 4 times for it to result in a ban? Once again this shows how careless they have been in the information they throw out there to the rest of you.
It is absolutely despicable that a formal apology has not been issued for those who have had both their online and real life character defamed by the lies that have been posted about us. They know that we are not hackers, yet they continue to label us as so. If you want to hold us accountable for our actions, hold them accountable for their libel as well. Not a single one of us hacked this game at any point. Apparently many of you cannot grasp that concept because of the lies that have been told about us, but I swear to you it is the truth, and I cannot emphasize this point enough.
This town which we visited was left in the game from hen beta testers were using it. We in no way had to hack Guild Wars to visit it. It was a real location in the game. It showed up on our maps as the Domain of Anguish. There was a button that allowed us to start the mission. We had to fight through the entire mission, just as you would if you entered Citadel any other way. Does that honestly seem like anything was hacked? No. We traveled to this location via our guild hall much as people have ferried to Urgoz, The Deep and various other locations. Being a party leader did not mean you hacked anything, for I at times had been a party leader. The only requirement to enter this town was that you had beat all four areas of DoA, and Mallyx at least once the old fashion way.
Like many others who were banned, I had no need to exploit this glitch for money. I had nearly 30 maxed titles, stacks of legitimately earned ectos in the bank, money in storage, FoW armor, completely runed out and equipped heroes, etc, etc. For nearly two years, and over a span of more than 4500 hours, I never participated in anything remotely in breach of the User Agreement. I have never sought to undermine or endanger any aspect of this game, I have only ever sought so have fun with individuals I have become very close with since I started.
At this point it is not even about the termination of my account, but the fact that I, as well as friends that are very dear to me, have repeatedly been subjugated to defamation of their character. I am not asking for my account to be returned, but I am asking that they step up and admit they lied to you all when they said we hacked, and also that you had to do this mission at least 4 times to be banned. Please tell these people the truth, because clearly they do not listen when it comes from us.
Exactly.
This will be both my first, last, and only comment on this matter. I have seen from previous posts, it doesn’t seem to matter what the truth is, people have already made up their minds on what to believe in this matter. Everything I have said has been completely truthful, it is your choice to believe it or continue to listen to the lies.

But no one could claim ignorance that way.
