Rufo.3716 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 What about all those hackers out there? Did they get a ban too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Boyer.6524 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 So, at first I read this post and was excited. Then I logged in for the last 20 minutes of the season and had 3 different players, who do not know each other, complain to me that a certain someone was clearly match manipulating and climbing the leaderboards quickly. This is a person who was once already banned for match manipulation and was allowed to come back on a new account. Anet, you might want to look into your investigations further if you seriously missed this very obvious MM activity. I mean, kudos for doing -something- but if anything is worth doing, it's worth doing right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egorum.9506 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Take the titles. 3 months dishonor is nothing compared to every player that's lost those games or just given up on pvp because of the lacking housekeeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddbopkins.2630 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 O no, god for bid they actually ban and delete accounts for fraugelnt usage.

BikeIsGone.8675 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Good riddance indeed. "Just" a 3 month dishonor might be debatable but at least it finally sends the right message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostball.9108 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I feel many instances of wintrading went unpunished but in case the 3 noteworthy ones were all 3 months, its a step to the right direction. I wouldn't say this is as good as it gets as we've seen action be taken in the past and then the same issues be ignored multiple seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetch.6307 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Does this mean Arenanet has a certifiable method of identifying and tracing match manipulation applicable to the future, or is this a one-off thing based on some in-game stars aligning?

Threather.9354 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Take all their PvP ranked titles. Its only reasonable. They can earn them again in 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronos.6532 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 why not permanent tho 3 months is a slap on the wrist but accounting sharing/RMT some ATs was permanent dishonor (and not account suspension) for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players involved have been removed from the leaderboards and given Dishonor for a period of three months. We will continue to monitor the game for incidents of this sort, and will take action on other accounts as the situation warrants it. > I cant say how happy this makes me, its a start!! I hope the bans keep coming. Pvp is an infected wasteland of map manipulation. Thanks Anet! I hope to hear more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chum Chum.7234 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Dang it, with all the win trading I didn't bother playing enough games to qualify for the top 250... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsurPator.6521 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Just as a little addition: Players should lose any prestige titles they got playing PvP (imo wintraders don't deserve any prestiges title even though they maybe earned it rightfully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapps.1479 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 It should be a perma ban. There should be zero tolerance for cheating in any game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ketsu.4569 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I like how they were removed from the leaderboards at the last minute of the season so now all their work towards match manipulating is wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auturgist.8256 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 If someone is AFK or idle for too long in game, I just assume they are involved in match manipulation and report them as such. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

videoboy.4162 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'm guessing the ban is 3 months in order to make these people miss all of next season? I guess that could help them see how much that game mode improves with those people gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRaPhReNiA.8763 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Do consider giving them permanent dishonor for ranked if you do not want to ban them entirely. Thx for reaction finally. Pls don't ban me for wolf exploit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
