Garret.1965 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I definitely have to agree with the OP. Hackers do exist in the game (I've seen 2 or 3 troll around in the FFA before); but the rate at which people are being accused of hacking, and the actual amount of hacking, is extremely disproportionate. Just this last week I was accused and reported for using speed-hacks by this person. He was so sure of his assessment that when we got matched-up on the same team, he logged off (though we won anyway, LUL). I tried explaining to this guy how ele worked. I even pinged 'One With Air' and 'Fresh Air', but it didn't matter to him. Can't reason with the unreasonable. A couple months back I recall this thief accusing me of using port-hacks on my mesmer, simply because he couldn't rationalize the idea of me using my ports while I was in stealth. And now today I was accused again.Before you go accuse someone of using hacks, make sure you know what you're talking about. Because on the off-chance that you're wrong, you just end-up looking like a salty pleb.Good entertainment though, it has to be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phokus.8934 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 If they restricted f2p accounts to unranked only then this would solve a lot in the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We as players can not determine whether someone is a F2P or not so I’m confused how you’re able to determine that all of the bots are F2P accounts.

There’s absolutely no way to determine that they are using a F2P account from your end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If theyre using elite specs it means they are not f2pI should have left out the “or not” as people are latching onto that and ignoring the rest. The point I was making that it’s impossible for us to determine if someone is F2P on our end and yet that poster is making the claim that restricting F2P accounts to unranked would resolve anything.

Vancho.8750 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Conspiracy theory, hackers and botters are accusing people that they are hackers and it's snowballed by gullible people so Arenanet is receiving spam tickets and the reports are lost in other reports, also Arenanet by default seems to be terrible at keeping track anyway.
