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.

Can't believe this, they were going to permanently ban all of these dedicated pre purchasers, it's pretty difficult sometimes to resist the urge to do something like this, I'm just glad they let them off.

AcedXprNiPerma 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.
Are you dumb?
Everything can't be perfect, you agreed in the terms and conditions that exploiting bugs will result in action.
Well who read the terms and conditions anyways
Its kinda obvious that you will get banned for exploiting the game though.
