I enjoy playing dragon's nest during the boardwalk weekends. It's a quick way to earn tokens, but now folks are starting to cheat and it's no fun anymore.
The top 2 names here never moved an inch. They stood together against the wall. The 3rd guy was running around playing normally. The scores were the same after round 1 as well, but i didn't get a screenshot then.
Cheating/Exploit in Dragon's Nest?

Wow, never seen that before. But it's not hard to find a district with an empty Dragon's Nest.

some kind of "auto pickup" script i'm betting.
after all theres no difference from using it for this than to get drunkard.
its only harmless botting.

But behavior that raven describes does not look like boting.
It looks like that they were able to retain their score inbetween matches, giving them automatic wins even if they just stand there.

as for auto pick up all they need is V and space bar. V is the auto locate nearest friendly npc.
I also guess people have found a place in the wall which won't teleport them after the game is complete, so they could be legit then screwing you over while afking cause you'd have no chance of getting 200+ points.

Lets test it. Go to where they were standing and see if you get warped out.

v space FTW
I've been looking for the spot on the wall....not finding one. Want to tell us where they were standing?

I tried on an empty dragons nest area and I only managed to get 112 most :/ and I have a 25% boost, and maybe if I had 50% I may have gotten 130ish maybe. 230+ seems way too high :/ unless by some crazy chance that white drakes just kept spawning next to him over and over and he never had to run.
Shakkara
230+ definately is too high for ROUND TWO!
There aren't even white wurms by then!

I'm not sure how they did it, but I think there is a "sweet spot" on the wall someplace that allows them to stay in the arena after each game and carry over their scores to the next game.
They weren't bots. They were chatting in local answering questions. They also did not just have incredible luck with V space. They were not playing at all. Just standing on the wall.
I didn't recall exactly where on the wall they were, but it was towards the back of the arena.
This is an old bug. I found a thread here from a year ago where the OP was complaining about the exact same thing. He didn't supply a screenshot though so none of the repliers believed him and the thread died. Hopefully Gaile or someone else will read this and the bug can be fixed before the next boardwalk.

Of course it can't, because like the Rollerbeetle rankings, it's a piece of coding that would take actual time away from GW2 to fix and blah blah blah.

then explain away those extra kurzick base defenders in alliance battle. I mean this thing is gone for a long while now, till the dragon festival so I can't see why they can't just fix it.

I discovered the dragon nest glitch after seeing a bot accidentally do it, someone in my alliance is in the screen shot on page 1 with his 2 accounts. At the end of the last round you back up as far as you can and about 6 seconds later run at the guy who lets you into the dragon nest, it keeps you inside the game if you target him and press the space bar to run, not just normal running. I had to test it out to make sure I wouldn't make a fool of myself by reporting something that isn't really there. can anyone point me in the right direction to reporting this?
also can we get this moved to game bugs?

Do you have any more info on this? We would like to track down what caused this, but we don't have enough information to replicate it at this time. Feel free to PM me if you prefer.
Thanks!
Thanks!

ill go record myself doing it, only an hour left of the event =)

technically this is PvP. You are trying to beat others within a mini-game like beetle racing.
Fay Vert
And people repeatedly called me a cheat for using sugar rush!
I was chatting to a friend who fell victim to this, their opponent had a score over 300.
As a slight other bug, if your opponent(s) leave the arena before its finished, it denies you the points for beating them. I met a number who did this out of spite if you beat them after 3 rounds.

i have the video, but because i uploaded with Google video they have to look it over to make sure its ok for the public. i will get it on here asap
EDIT: due to a problem with the last video i posted (it was missing the first part), the new one is posted below.
the actual glitch is in the first third of the movie, there was a problem when i shortened it last time so here is the whole thing.
