Report of a very dangerous bug

Hi,
i am writting here because i found out that some guys use a very dangerous exploit. i wrote twice @ the NCSoft Support but the response was a stock response. Here is what i wrote:
I also created two thread at the support forums, but they have been deleted.

I hope that they will now work harder to fix this exploit, if the public knows about it.
So if you e.g. dont know why Strongboxes are now very cheap, this is the answer. I also noticed that the real money prices for Guild Wars Items went down drastically in the last weeks. So it seems like these botters are delivering some MMo shops.

I really dont know why the support doesnt work on this issue. They even have the name (+screenshot of his title) of a character.

You didnt think about the fact that the threads were deleted simply because describing exploits is considered against the rules?

Yip, my suggestion is to edit your post empty. By saying in public how the exploit can be used means your making it worse.

Which I suspect is the whole point. If ANet won't do something about it, making it publicly known intensifies the problem. That in turn forces them to do something to resolve it.

ANet stopped caring about these issues ages ago, hence nothing has been done about them for so long.

Your right. But where do i describe how to use the bug??
I only say that they are changing a packet to use this busg.

Btw reason why the topic has been closed:
Well...i understand that. But I reported it one month ago...Should be enough time to fix this issue.

If you think one month is enough time to fix the issue, you don't know Anet.

Anet has to investigate this claim which sadly will take time , one problem i could see is anet trying to fix something in the dark - so to speak.
Scenario - a new prototype bot is being worked on , anet is unable to pinpoint the exact method the bot would use because its not in public.Anet cant dissamble the bot to see how it works etc.Posting on the bot site id class as risky as im sure they may take offence to it and also may cause them to make minor changes etc.
Anets got to find a needle in a haystack and it will take time - you could in future if you found another bot in making pm one of the staff ongw support forum and ask whats the safest way to post your problem without needing major edits or deletes.

It does seem that some people here have no grasp what so ever about how programming and such works.

It is not just: "Oh, there might be a problem here *work a few minutes* Solved!"

Also keep in mind that there are currently very few people working at GW.

Making more people exploiting the system aint going to make it go away faster.

For starters, i would suggest removing the link to one of the known boting sites. I don't think we need mroe traffic heading there.

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed, by while I was in kama ad1 trading, I noticed 2 Leg. Gladiators in one night. I have a screenshot of the second, as I thought it was odd that 2 got the title so close together. I kinda wish anet would step in, but given past boting experiences, it will take several months of silence before they do anything.

Thanks to your thread the site overloaded lol

Well...i know how Programming and Reversing works
But that isnt the point...if they need time to fix the whole issue thats okay...But: They have the character name...If they just check the logged events of the character, they see that the character e.g. wins 500 RA fights in a row. So they could just ban the account and all other accounts which are used from the same IP. But they didnt even did that, that is what suprises me.

Edit: deleted the link

Meh, people are running this with 12 accounts at a time. And making figures closer to 120e / hour. Per account. It's so broken I can't even bring myself to care.

And these same people are supposed top speed clearers, HA, GVG and missionrunners in the game.

Doesn't really matter to me ^^ Diablo 3 in less then one week and haven't been logged in more then a couple of hours for the past two months this has been going on.

This pretty much. And I bet this is what ANet thinks of the situation as well, just replace D3 with a certain title and "one week" with 8-10 months.

Dhuum will be busy. When he's good and ready.

And the people he bans... will have no HoM rewards in GW2.

Getting a canned response from customer support does not mean that A-net won't do anything about it. In my experience, Anet takes better care of GW than most MMO companies (not that I've had dealing with them all obviously). I'd suggest that a mod should delete this entire thread so as not to encourage exploits.

And do you know that they have not banned said character? Is said character your character?

ANet has always fixed these problems only when they became so widespread that they could no longer be ignored.

Whether or not this is 'better care' than other MMO producers is subjective. I'd argue that they used to do very well on certain dimensions and remarkably poorly on others. For some time now they haven't done well on upkeep along any dimensions.

I hope we get some acknowledgement from Anet, at least. Kuddos to the OP.

The policy on the support forums is to delete threads that describe or link to exploits after handing them off to a dev. You'd get better results PMing one of the devs there.
