A Tuesday update must be important 
Glad they fixed it, even though I didn't hear about it until now :P
Why do all the exploits make things more interesting, i mean the automap exploit, and the huge party exploit....and everyones dream, the duping :P

Interesting exploit LoL
But seriously, if the GW instance engine can support it, I really hope they'd consider turning this exploit into some sort of official weekend events instead.
something like...
- 32 men FoW, UW, etc. Raid Party weekend, or even
- 48 vs 48 Alliance Battle weekend
That'd be much more interesting than some of the current weekends now

I was going to be a little peeved at Anet for not doing any skill changes to make us all QQ, but then I remembed it was only tuesday and was happy again. Glad they fixed this; sad they didn't allow us to use all of our heroes at once instead.
kobey
I am slow again as usual. Only got to know about it when it is nerfed 
Its gonna be fun to exceed party limit. But just for the fun of it.

Exceeding the party limit is already around, going from some places on the noob island of Elona to the Sunspear great hall puts your party at 7/3. But 15/8 even cooler. lol

i heard about this about 3 days ago from someone, said thedy where ina group for fow 18 pople didnt have screens shots to prove it so i didnt believe him, then last night i say the post tried to get more then 8 in party and could not do it at all, using the party search and what not thought it was a hero glitch, good thing i didnt find out how to do it i rather not get banned, if i found out i would have reported how i did it to stop it

I want my tourny rewards...why couldn't they have added it to this one?
ShadowStorm
There was a bug with Venta Cemetary and Blacktide Den that allowed you to get party sizes of 6-8 in Kamadan and Sunspear Great Hall. I wonder if that was the bug that got fixed...

Or maybe they should make a less terrible game without billions of exploits since their coders decided they were too lazy to have the original engine do any sort of error checking. I'm not saying guild wars is terrible in that I don't like it, i mean terribly written.

40 people party or even 15 people party during an official weekend event would be great.
Dronte
Heh, prepare for a huge number of QQ threads about perma bans..
cosyfiep
yeah someone posted about this a few days ago....dont remember which thread it was in now....but they said they had partied with someone who said they could get more than 8 in the party and that they had to download some program and the poster said no and left.....
glad they fixed it, but it took a few days.....

We clearly need a double party size weekend event.

I shure would try a twenty man party once. Just imagine how many hitpoints a seed of life could generate over such a big group.

Wait, did this clear up just this exploit thing or the weird bug that happens when you go from a 6/8man area to a 4 man area, like what happens when you die during Defend North Kryta Province (starting from ToA). I did it last night (thats right people, after 2 and a half years I've finally done DNKP. Final Assault too, that was fun), and I got 7/6 in LA. Of course the time I did it matters, but I can't remember exactly when.
