So yea, nice catch there A-Net, I'm sure no one would ever think to farm Z coins by spamming resign... right?
Today's Zaishen PVP Quest (5/1) counts Loses as Wins

... at least for Luxon. We even resigned one time when we had 5 leavers and it counted as my 3rd win on the Zaishen Quest. You miss out on the faction on each win but you could possibly farm 5k real fast if you had everyone resigning right away.

I have not personally tested this, but other players that have played this on the Luxon side reported that this was not the case.
Need more data on the conditions under which the glitch works.

My team all resigned and at least I would'nt. They asked me again and again to resign but I thought to annoy them would be fun. So when it got to 99% I resigned.
I didn't know why we would resign, I have team and local chat off when dealing with FA or JQ. It was only until someone sent a pm and ask me to resign.

this just started happening in AB as well. People really harrass those who don't resign. As far as I am concerned, the resigners fall in the same category as leechers and bots. Hope A-net takes care of it soon.

All it takes is 1 of me to stop 15 cheaters.
Love it!
Got my nine without any resigns. And yes, there was much bitching about my lack of resign. It was music to my ears.

Funny that they took such swift action to fix this, I've seen them leave bigger problems around for much longer than that.
UnChosen
So I was leeching for the entire time of the exploit just because people are opening green gates and minion suicide and all those stuff, no point in playing legit....
Surprise! I got reported as a leech nearly every time, funny how the only time the idiots will report is when they want to exploit a bug...

Anet you banned 100 people or more for using a bug exploit to get to DOA from their guild hall. I think you should ban EVERYONE who used the /resign exploit go get fast easy zashien quest faction and coins. No better yet give them all a 72 hour ban and take all their faction and coins away and make them earn it the correct way. It's the only way to be fair to the rest who played correctly.

Just another illustration of how people do NOT have interestin in playing when gaming the game nets faster results and they are there purely only for hlaf a stack of zoins.
But i wonder why people simply did not achieve some kind of pact, i.e.:
Odd factions pvp zquest: all kurzicks leave (or afk battle or sabotage, whatever), all luxons stick and fight "stragglers" that ruin things by actually wanting to play, after each round people change sides.
Even faction pvp zquest: all luxons leave, kurziks stick.
Quick, easy, fair, carebear friendly. Should stick.
I think anet should realize that giving PvP better time/effort rewards (AND rewards that that very, very grindy to get) only means that people will try to abuse hell of everything while not caring if it ruins game.

They once had the idea to be friendly to people who played GW, went away, played another game, came back...
There was also a mantra called "skill > time".
Today, they encourage spending a lot of time to get certain ranks to improve pve skills, or to get equipment packs. You get more powerful by playing GW over and over.
I always loved the LOW time requirements that came with the M:TG inspired horizontal progression model.
Today, GW shifts more and more to a standard MMO, but whereas other MMOs try to reduce and nullify grind, we even have a vertical progression model that requires a lot of time for something as simple as a bag.

I was doing FA last night (before the exploit became known, it seems)... and it was ripping good fun. I did about a dozen matches, and in all of those I didn't see a single leech on my side - everybody was fighting, almost all matches went right to the end and some were very, very close. There was only one exception while I was playing - the opposing side all resigned... and now I know why!
Glad they fixed the bug. There is good fun to be had in FA, zcoins are the gravy.

It seems that they may have also addressed doubling up on the PvP bounties. I can't seem to take today's HB with one I took previously.

Why dont they just learn something from this? What do you think motivates so many people to play FA that day? Was it because we all suddenly fell in love with pvp and FA? Comon...we were "pushed" to do FA that day due to circumstances. Reality is, if it is not for the zoins, we wont have that many people playing FA, during a double faction AB weekend, in the first place. Who designed a demand for zoins into the game? ANet. If that demand wasn't there and that exploit wasn't there, many people wouldn't be playing FA that day.
If you dont want players joining FA that are not trully interested in FA, then ANet should not have the zoins FA quest. There will be fewer people in FA but at least you can be more certain that the people in FA games are trully interested in the match.
