You're Blaming the Wrong People Arena Net and Cheaters

[hjjr78]

So here I was about to log into the game...barely. I kept thinking about how the moment you enter WvW you get hit with a cheater. The game is updating so I decided to look at the release notes.

I get a message on the screen about a warning and I had to acknowledge the warning.

I didn’t read the waring or acknowledge it because I already know it's about truth. Apparently, some idiot who’s paid to go around in the forums and tag anything that speaks out about the game and the cheaters kept tagging my posts.



Who told these moderators to do it, I don’t know, take your pic but one thing is for sure... Acting like players who are speaking out against the cheaters are the cause, is a HUGE reason why players are leaving GW2.



I was in WvW one time when a cheater actually blamed players who speak out against the cheaters, as the cause of less players in WvW. Are you kidding me!? Is that what cheaters are telling themselves...that they're not the cause of players leaving the game but those who speak out against the cheating are?



The fact I got a warning with an acknowledgement button proves players who speak out about the cheating are being blamed for players leaving the game, when its fact, the cheaters are the biggest reason why players are leaving and the other reason is the bad development by the developers.



Not placing the blame where it belongs is not going to help GW2 and harassing players like myself who actually puts money in the game doesn’t help either because I don’t really care for GW2 like that now. If they want to band my account, they can go right ahead, that’s Arena Net losing money and the servers are still going to slowly get smaller in player database.



The only reason I haven’t moved to Throne and Liberty is the fact I don’t want to invest in another gaming rig right now because I already bought that game...hell I bought the early release version. Even Amazon’s MMORPG is looking better than GW2 right now. The only reason I’m not on FF14 is the fact I don’t like the forced dungeons/raids within the main storyline. If that was removed, I would jump back to FF14 in a heartbeat.

I got this strange feeling it's the "boy who cried wolf" type of situation. You need to prove without a doubt that a person is cheating with evidence. If it can be explained with in-depth knowledge of game mechanics, all you did was make a false accusation. And the fact you got a warning means you accused a lot of innocent people.

Oh hey its you again, back to complain about cheaters while presumably having no evidence of them, and claiming they are everywhere and are ruining WvW while most people who also play have barely seen any.

WvW is just awfully balanced. One team get all the PVP guilds and the other one get the poor souls (like me) who are just trying to farm this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ locked Gift of battle.

Does not help that you need DLC to get Warclaw so you get hunted down whenever you try to flee so i seriously almost rage quitted over this. And then there are the elite spec on that..

Doubt there are much cheating tho just bad balancing.

"Speaking out about cheaters" on a forum only annoys other people. If cheating IS a problem, everyone else would notice and you wouldn't need to "speak out" about it.

If you have proof of cheating, send it to Anet. If you don't, then go get some.

Anet can't just flip their "anti-cheater" switch and everything is perfect. They need EVIDENCE of who, what, when, and where so they can investigate.

But the bottom line is: No one wants to see posters whining about cheating. Other players don't want to see it. Potential players don't want to see it. Developers don't want to see it. So knock it off.

After spending about 9 hours in that hellhole for a game-mode, i am pretty salty. =)
Not something unique for me anyway. Alot of the PVE community is mad at WvW because of the Gift of battle.

Then a quick suggestion. Find yourself a WvW guild. They often run comped groups for WvW fights.

You spent 9 hours doing something you hate, when you could have spent that time either A) doing something else or B) learning to play.

I don't like PVP so learning to play wont help... WvW still sucks and are one of the worst game modes in this game for alot of people, just a quick google search shows that. Anyway i was just gonna comment about the bad balancing of the teams so i am out of this discussion.

Throne and Liberty is supposedly great for PvP, including large scale battles, so I suggest the OP take a look at that.

[Yagger]

boyo, cheaters are worse and more rampant in ff14 pvp

[DYSEQTA]

I have seen an actual cheater in WvW once. They were underneath the map attacking people. Every other time I've died it's been a matter of skill + build > mine.

Finally decided to play some WvW yesterday for the first time, and have not encountered a single even remotely suspicious player, after multiple hours (like 4 or so hours) in WvW, with a fair few encounters every hour, some were won some were lost, some were a standstill where both parties retreated. And all of that was quite fun to me, and a nice bit of fresh air from the usual PvE gameplay.

As others have said, this sounds like a "boy who cried wolf" situation.

I meet teleport farmers ervery night in europe. I usually like pvp but first time in wvw it took like 10 minutes roaming alone untill a willbender apeared out of nowhere zeroing me in 2 seconds and i was wearing celestial. The whole game-code is accessible to script-writers without a doubt. And corporations just know it's futile to battle cyber-crime seriously since the would just end up withe an arrow in at least one knee.

That's just WB. Mega-mobility, insane burst, and the joy of lolinvuln->teleport away if you manage to counter them. They've been broken for years.

I've seen a handful of WvW hackers, all of them teleporters. Mostly they're unseen, e.g., teleporting onto keep lords to contest the waypoint.
