All I can say is do they really think this will "free the 117"???????

Yeah, I see Anet going for that crap....Do what we want or we'll hack yer game!1!one!!! Yeah..ok.

Personally, if Anet unbans em EVER after this crap, I will leave, as will many many other nice, rule abiding paying customers. People who were in their corner before this now hope they never play again. Backfire much?

No one will be unbanned for the Mallyx incident. We're done with that.

The company will not capitulate to blackmail, threats, or malicious acts.

We are not yet able to verify this information. If you have been crashed, go into your Guild Wars folder, make a copy of the ArenaNet.Log file, and send to [email protected]. Do it now -- this is very important. For one thing, it will give us helpful information. For another, it will help establish if these crashes are happening at all, whether they're coincidental, and whether they're being externally caused. Please know that I do not mean to insult anyone with expressing any doubts about the comments here. But sometimes, these reports are based on urban legend and a sort of hysteria that results from someone relaying false information which then gets passed along like "It wasn't me, but a guild member..." or "I was online and heard someone else say..." I am not denying this may be an issue; I cannot confirm yet that it is or is not an issue. Please don't think we are trying any sort of cover-up, but until we have the logs, we can't prove (or hopefully disprove) the nature of these incidents, so please do help us out with your log.

Not sure if this is at all related, but my program crashed almost as soon as I logged in. I sent the report, and it seemed to work fine after, but this is the first time I've ever seen it happen.

It's probably just all the people trying to get onto the site

As far as the log file goes (that Gaile asked for), I don't think it logged the crash at all. I checked it over and I don't think it's on there, and there's no report of it on my PC event log either.

I hope whatever he's doing can be stopped.

Fellow Deathnote fans, take a good look at that statement. familiar, perhaps? thought so.

For the uneducated few, Deathnote involves someone who gained the "ability" to kill people at will, and decides to use his power to kill off criminals. deathnote came to mind when reading that.

anywho, on topic, it was probibly a coincidence, but reporting it seems the best way to go, and be sure to include the supposed "hacker"'s name, and a screenshot if possible.

That's up to you, but mainly if you got some evidence regarding who's doing it you should report it.

I sure would like to see a Kira taking out Gold Seller Sites But who would play L?

I think the first guy has been banned. There was a second one running around but they soon dissappeared aswell. So nice work Anet.

Yeah, I think the guy has left. My alliance and I just finished an AB (We won, actually) and no one crashed.

My speculation is that the hacker guy is in Europe, but it's just a guess.

I got the "out of memory" error for the first time during this weekend's event (been playing since day 0) and have since gotten it three times further. 3 of 4 were while I was afking in the 9 rings, and the latest one (yesterday) was while afking in Lutgardis.

this weekend was also the first time I'd gotten this error, also while afking.

So, perhaps the guy just learned of an error in the update or something and is taking advantage of it?

I'm in no way knowledgeable about coding etc so I'm really just taking a shot in the dark with that statement.

Hopefully all gets resolved and it's nice to see that Gaile/Anet are on top of things.

Good Job Guys.

this is more of an application crash (angry red X pop-up with windows-style error message, along with locked-up game) than a disconnect

edit: and my ArenaNet.log file has not been edited since september, so nothing new there

got a weird crash in AB a while ago, even the send Anet a report function crashed when I tried to use it
normally I'd just say "dang my computer's a pos" in this situation, but the report feature breaking makes me think a hacker may be involved, could just be a coincidence though.

All I can say if a hacker gets invold I sure hope they do nail the gold selling spam bots at the same time.

I don't see the players being on his side. We should all be trying to force Anet to fix the darn pug allowing him to create a memory error AND while their at it.. get ride of the spam gold bots...lol
It is against the forum rules to post names, he did the right thing by blacking them out.

However please send this persons name to Gaile or support at Anet.
