Worst exploit found to date in game

[Sapereaude]

My LS-mate was the guy to report this... within minutes he was reported by probably about 20 individuals just in my LS alone. I'm sure we'll get a response within a week with more bans coming down.

This game has the most bugs, exploits, combat faults, hacks and botters from the first month onwards I think I've ever seen...

You haven't played many MMOs then lol.

Pretty big exploit here indeed, just not sure if it rivals the exploit that can be used on twintania or every single other mob ingame.

You obviously didn't play Guild Wars 2, hundreds of dynamic events that were bugged, hundreds of bugs with skills / traits, ranger bots roaming around in groups, then in WvW there were teleport, flying & zoom hacks and a game engine that can't handle mass PvP. And guess what over a year in and there are still bugs with traits/skills that have been there since beta, still hacks in WvW and the game engine is a lost cause.

I saw this earlier today on reddit, and was tempted to post it, but then also worried it would just make more people do it. :\

Totally calls for a swing of the ban-hammer. There is no way you can even pretend to say this is okay. Btw, someone in the reddit thread did the math, you can't get to 50 with even 100 leves, the math just wasn't there. Not even without the time stamps that show it's insanely fast.

That's wrong, I'm not suggesting that the guy didn't exploit but you can get 20-50 with 100 leves. You can get 10-50 with half that amount, roughly.

Then they are not very good at maths. 1 triple turn in leve as well as the XP for crafting the 9 items is usually enough XP for an entire level. You start the triples at 20 so you require 30 levequests to get to 50. My ARM/GSM and WVR can attest to that (had 99 stored, took about a week to get all 3 to 50 - now waiting till I get 30 in stock before I get CRP to 50, the proper way).

/edit @ Below - if you hand in HQ's you get an XP bonus of 200%. So that triple turn in leve that was giving you 30k is now giving you 90k, for all 3 you get 270k XP, for 1 leve.

Really?

I wait to cap at 100 and than mass turn in chain leves on my crafters, I went 15-27 off about 60.

Yup, it's that obvious I haven't played it...that I'm actually playing it right now! lol
I played it since launch and was playing the beta prior to release and there wasn't "hundreds of bugs with skills" and what not, sure there was some trait/text errors here and there and yeah there was bots once upon a time, thankfully they got crushed fairly quickly.

Things like the camera/zoom "hack" is more client side then server side hacks in which attempting to prevent that is near impossible when there's no possible way to see it being done, these flying, wall hacking and anything else that's easily spotted will never get used to gain any advantage in game, simply because if a single person saw you then you'd be banned instantly, whereas what we currently have on this is bots, teleport hacking bots and account hacks running rampant and a bunch of other nonsense on the go.

This level increase happens way to fast for the multiple turn in quest. I have seen this happen on Giligamesh with someone leveling alchemy. I was leveling carpentry from 25-30 turning in hq walnut lumber and was no where near gaining levels as fast as these people do.
