Speedbooking- is it an Exploit?

http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Build:Team_-_Hero_Speedbook

I found this on PVX the other day, and it looked too good to be true. I had just speant quite some time maxing out a heroes handbook to polish off my norn rep title and this seemed perfect!

However..it seems kinda exploity- and I really don't want to loose my account or anything. Is this sort of speedbooking allowed?

Well, if it's an exploit you will be in good company, pretty much everyone i know have done that.
There are many exploits not everyone of them are punished with a ban or at all.

I would say go ahead.

Speedbooking is almost a business this is not an exploit by any means it's just getting paid or paying to get 3 missions/quests quickly you can see people asking for this all the time.

Yeah...but if you look at that build there..it basically makes it poss to do missions in like 3 mins and basically exploiting a glitch..S:

Its been so long since I had to do those, but i remember there are 2-3 mission more that are just as fast, to increase your reward.

But no this is not an exploit.

Let's put it this way if they were to ban for this almost everyone with maxed eotn titles will be banned.

Not an exploit in my book.

If they fix it they will probably have a silent update after which heroes trigger spawns, not an all-out banfest.

Are you sure? What with the banhammer crashing down recently I really don't want to take any risks with my account.

When in doubt......stop, think, and act.
If your charging PuGs for game gold to 'speed bookit' ....definatly re think your actions..

I have no idea what a PuGs is...but I was only planning on using this to get myself a title I'm sick of farming for.

And I don't blame you. I wouldn't put it past Anet to put the banhammer on these people despite it not technically being a exploit. I mean, they claimed Sliver Armor was a bug This whole time that they "fixed". We all know how fuzzy termanology can get.

If you don't want to speedbook, there are otherways of getting faction

PuG= Pick Up Group....random players, wanting the same thing as you (the book filled)- but MANY speed book 'runs' are expensive, so the 'runner' charges for those too lazy to complete them on their own..

let's see. ANET made the 3 you can do worth a space in the book. you do those and turn in the book. so its not an exploit. an exploit is taking an advantage of something that was NOT intended as an option by the devs. farming Duncan the way he was farmed a few months ago was an exploit. doing the books the way the devs intended them to be done is not. Answer your question?

It's not an exploit; heroes are just that good. They are well-trained commando ninja spies, able to infiltrate enemy territory without detection. Heroes even have teleportation ability without any need for a skill slot. I want to be a hero.

You won't be banned for playing the game. If anything, it's a design flaw or limitation that heroes do not trigger spawns, and many others are taking advantage of it.

It is like the Speed Clears of certain Factions areas. ArenaNet changes the game slightly to prevent them, but does not punish the players for doing it. This is what might happen with Speedbooking. It is not an exploit (taking advantage of a glitch in the game) but a legitimate way to play that ArenaNet did not anticipate.

Filling books it's not an exploit, but playing missions or quests in ways that let you do them without making any of the objectives is.

What we have here is not like the Gyala Hatchery case.
In Gyala, you go in advance and clean first. But you have to kill the enemies and still protect the turtles in the remaining battles.
You use 'the back door'.

But here, we have people killing themselves so heroes can walk around without triggering spawns of enemies.
That is, making the mission, WITHOUT MAKING THE MISSION.

That we can't have.
A solution? It is rather simple. When you are dead, and no heroes in radar ranger, then they should get unflagged, and you unable to flag them again until resurrected.

by this definition, i believe both curse of the nornbear and gyala mission examples are exploits (gyala triggers pop-ups in an unintended order and time). i also believe that certain ferry methods are exploits.

despite this however, these exploits are generally considered "harmless" and won't get you banned.

This is not an exploit! This is just playing the game! Otherwise there would be 10.000 more accs banned by now!

an exploit is exactly that, using the own game's bugs/design flaws. as opposed to other forms of cheating such as botting which rely on external programs.
