Admin caught Cheating!!!

Last night around 0230 EST I was participating in the 4 man random arena.

My team was fairly balanced and we managed to kill 3 of the 4 enemy team, however thier 4th man would not go down... he wouldnt even go under 80% life... not even with 4 people beating him down non stop.

At first I thought he was just some diesel warrior/monk using some nice combo, but when I looked at his class, he was a Necro/Monk but wearing Warrior Gladiator armor?

His name was "Jenny Chop Ur Legs", the guildtag was [GW].

He then changed his class, saw it on the target bar from N/Mo to W/Mo, then used some elite warrior skills, then it went back to N/Mo again.... this continued to happen over and over... I called him out on it, he tried to play dumb... just kept saying.. "I am just fighting". He knew he was caught, then he moved to the side and said ok kill me... and just stood there a few seconds.. however even with him NOT fighting back, and not healing himself, we still couldnt hurt him enough to kill him.

He vanished from the arena and left the game.

I submitted a Violation report to Arena Net about this, but this is a serious and corrupt signal that was sent to the community tonight. If an admin will do this, they where should we expect it to stop? Maybe he has done other things that violate terms of agreement, like give his friends godlike gear/weapons and maybe even GM only items, making them unstoppable similar to himself.

Any thoughts? I did not get any screens, but there were three others in the group and they know just as well as I what went down.

You can follow up on this as I get word back from arena net over at www.guildunknown.com

Its too bad you didnt think to press that PntScn button.

1: Why would an admin abuse in an arena?
2: Why does it matter?
3: What did you lose?

This thread is worthless without screens or video capture. It's your word against a person that might not even exist as far as we know. Next time please use the Print Screen button taking pictures of him as switching classes.

No, I disagree this thread is very valuable.

I never can get screens because I have a microsoft multimedia keyboard and it has an F lock key that screws up the printscreen key.

I COULD have if I had thought about it, but I was too busy healing people to try and mess with screens. It would have shown it clearly though, but still people would so as always and yell, photoshopped, bla bla.. I am not here for glory of finding a hacker or cheating admin, I am just posting this so the community knows that there IS a cheater, or a cheat program out there that can basically make any character a godlike player.

hmm... honestly right now... I don't buy the story either. It is very unreliable... why? because u could have ask other to take picture as well and post something about it... there are too many ways around it.

my percentage of believe and not believe
20% believe
80% not believe

If he actually sent in a report to GW i think my belief level is around 90% otherwise without screenshots and/or video capture i don't believe it. Thats some hack/cheat there btw. I believe A.net will keep GW clean of those types of programs. They can better monitor the game and seem to be working hard to keep it the #1 seller world wide.


I heard alt + F4 turns on god mode.

MMM somehow it wouldnt supprise me... but i dont believe it untill i see screenshots... i dont care if they could have been edited it makes the story at least more reliable then it is now...

My first thought to be exact was why the hell didnt you take a screenshot, because if i saw someone who didnt go down the first thing i'd do is take a screenshot...

And how can F-lock mess up ur printscreen button... i mean f-locks changes the F-key functions... Print Screen has nothing to do with that... (i have a keyboard with F-lock as well)
And why didnt you change ur printscreen button then to another key, if it does mess up like you say...

Definitely not an admin or staff member, I can assure you of that.

I've seen another warrior melee me from the other side of the zone while we waited on the counter to start the match. Thats a major bug most likely. I've never seen it again.

What you've seen is probably your eyes playing tricks on you or your computer messing up. He was a War/Mo and there's a build that WILL stand up to 4 players at once. Its actually pretty common amongst some paladin weenies. A good hammer or mesmer...and many other combinations....will put a stop to that.

Lag can often cause these type of results as well. Possible that it was self inflicted from something like gear, but if I had to vote it would have been packets not getting to your machine.

You might as well try to prove you own the new Xbox and PS3 but your camera is at the shop.

I think it's awesome if a mod did that, like back UO when mods would take over dragons and obliterate a party and then laugh at us. Maybe it's just me, but I think it's fine as long as afterwards they say it was just a joke. Then again maybe the LSD has finally taken it's hold on you

99% of the time this happens, the person just can't kill someone else and they blame it on cheats or hacks. There was another thread like this on the Vault forums yesterday where it turned out to be the player who was wrong. Without screens, I'm sure most of the people have a hard time believing you.

and the other 3 people who are your witnesses didnt think to press the print screen button either?

it sounds like a bug
or smells of fish to me

unless you have some proof dont even bother with it
you could have yelled to the others take screenshots if you couldnt
