raykor.6723 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 They are everywhere and clearly nobody seems to care. Am I missing something? Is this how the game is supposed to be played? Just wake up in the morning with 10s of gold of loot waiting for me? 6 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kharmin.7683 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 If you did a simple forums search, you would have found plenty of threads already on this topic with the same answer: Report and move on. Those topics are locked for a reason... there is no other discussion necessary. Report and move on. 6 1 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkTacoLover.7603 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) My conclusion after months of checking on farmspots is: 1) Theres actually gms ingame that check for afk farmers but i have seen that 2 times in a month 2) AFK engi that spam turrets get a ban 3) AFK minion necro/aoe revs get a kick 4) They wont do anything to ppl you report if they dont see them (the dude that i reported daily for a week cuz he was spamming rifle [1] all around is still ingame) PS. I checked with the farming tracker on the best spot i got 2g/h, is a waste if you count the bills 🤨 I guess you have to do like *censoredforprivacy* that have 10+ accounts all over Istan.

And that guy might even play with their toes + react to every whisper they get from gms checking on them for all you know mate. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autotargeting — If you use a skill with no target selected, the game will automatically select a valid target within the skill's range and in the direction the camera is facing. So if the autotraget can make you turning alittle to the sides it can seem that they turn in circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkTacoLover.7603 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) i suppose autotargeting wont cange target until is dead, he was changing target after few hits target > 11111 > next target ingore hp > 1111 > next target ingore hp > 1111 > next target ingore that is out of range > 1111 > repeat Edited August 14, 2022 by PinkTacoLover.7603 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphafert.6730 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I don't think they care. There are a few spots where it's obvious. A stack of about 6 asura engi with no gear, a group of 5 necro with almost the same name & both have been there over a year even after reports. 5 or so running against a wall on/off for weeks. I've decided I'm not spending money on this game till fixed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent.6137 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 The amount each of them gets daily is so minor that it doesn't bother me at all. Sure, they can use multiple accounts but how many actually do use more than one? I actually like afk-farmers at a few farming nodes where there are mobs preventing you from doing some quick farming. They clear the areas or aggro the mobs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit + with the price of electricity nowdays they are probabely loseing money trying to afk farm. Edited August 14, 2022 by Linken.6345 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorrand.6548 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I finally came back to gw2 after quitting after the release of HoT. The difficulty curve going from core to the expansion completely wrecked my desire to play. I'm a disabled gamer with lagging reaction times and without LI builds I simply wouldn't be able to play the game. So many players complaining that anet made a build that I can actually play and not be a detriment in group content just completely blows my mind. Screaming for nerfs rather than just asking for more stuff to be brought up to it. Just makes me think that me and players like me aren't welcome in this 'hardcore' game. If that's the case fine I'll move on but the response to mech buffs really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The gatekeeping. wow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProtoGunner.4953 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) I report them as good as it gets (they are stacked so it's hard to catch everyone). BTW after about 5.5k hours of playtime; I have not once seen a GM. Edited August 15, 2022 by ProtoGunner.4953 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
