Guild Wars 2 weapon exploit leads to 3,000 perma-bans
According to PC Gamer an emergency patch has now closed the loophole, which developer ArenaNet described as the "first example of a widespread exploit in the game".
Lead producer Chris Whiteside said on Reddit that, just this once, the studio will offer to convert permanent bans to 72-hour suspensions.
We take our community and the integrity of the game very seriously, and want to be clear that intentionally exploiting the game is unacceptable. The players we banned were certainly intentionally and repeatedly exploiting a bug in the game.
We intended to send a very clear message that exploiting the game in this way will not be tolerated, and we believe this message now has been well understood.
We also believe and respect that people make mistakes. With this in mind, we are offering the members of our community who exploited the game a second chance to repair the damage that has been done.
This is a first and final warning. Moving forward, please make sure you that when you see an exploitable part of the game, you report it and do not attempt to benefit from it.

AR15 This is a good way to lose 3,000 customers.
they didnt lose any customers... they already purchased the game. Not like theyre losing the monthly subscription or anything

GoldenDiamondsiPerma Honestly, I don't know why they need to ban because it is their fault don't blame us that we find the eff ups and then release to everyone, Should have came up with YouTube or a Recording device that's how everything spreads, Their faults not ours. Deal with it don't ban us.
Did you really just say thats not our fault, yes it is, jus tbecause there is something wrong with the game doesnt mean we have to take advantage of it
And another point, you agreed to the user statement. By exploiting any glitch found in the game is to breach your agreement... which they state will get you banned. Thats why they make you agree to those looooong lists that pop up the first time you play a game and again with the release of big patches that change or add new content. Happy(no glith) gaming!
