Knighthonor.4061 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Was wondering where you all stand in this. Server spying. When getting harassment messages from a spy may be an issue on its own. But that's different issue all together. But spying in general seem like it can spoil some of the gameplay and tactics. Not sure what can be done about it. But just asking what you all think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balthazzarr.1349 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 meh. spies seem to be everywhere, but sometimes it’s just noobs who pull tactics who don’t know better. They’re annoying but not worth worrying about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acheron.4731 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I guess it is a 'strategy' , lol. Gotta expect and account for them. It is sad to have to resort to that, basically says 'we cannot beat you' so Go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAHNeunzehnsechundsiebzig. Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 spies? never heard off. Trolls and noobs? Yeah, they happen. Accidental tactivator activation because someone placed food/banner to close to it has also been observed. But spies? You hear stories, but seeing them?

Whiteout.1975 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Not really. I view it as a valid form of play that may or may not be annoying sometimes. Really just basing that on how much the spying interferes me.

HazyDaisy.4107 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Sometimes I think if not for the spies and those that have figured out how to defy either gravity, speed or both, there'd be no one left playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepwalker.1398 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I met the best spy last week. So we got fully wiped off ebg last week. Started to get structures back and tier them up but as soon as the tactic became available, this troll kept coming online and would put auto turrets on all towers and keep. Later on enemy zerg would come break walls and take towers again. Happened few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sviel.7493 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Spies are technically an issue because they invalidate the technical purpose of the game...but since that hasn't been valid for a few years, there's not a whole lot of damage to be done. Would love for them to disappear, but it's not a huge priority. We can't even get actual hackers banned, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SexyMofo.8923 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 WvW is pretty dead. I pull tactics just to get fights and even then, no one comes to attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop.8713 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 If winning and losing had consequences, teams were balanced across populations and coverage, and there was something to fight for, then it would be a problem. As things stand, it's just kind of lame . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops I accidentally logged onto GW2 and accidentally joined WvW and accidentally ran to SM and accidentally activated EWP and then enemies showed up by accident. I swear its just a mistake! I'm not running for garri EWP I just accidentally jumped to home border and then accidentally pushed F when running past something and the option showed up and its a complete accident that we are now outmanned.

Svarty.8019 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 This problem is like if a game tried to make a realistic battlefield by not having any map chat channel. People could just use third party software (discord, for example) to communicate map-wide. It is therefore not really something that can be avoided.

Fat Disgrace.4275 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Thing is, some people get so worked up about miss used tactics pull that they do infact blame it on a spy. I pulled air ship last night in the sm for lolz, (way past prime time where nothing much was happening) ofc a few people in map chat and foam coming from their mouths but even after I admitted of pulling the air ship they was still moaning and blaming it at spies logging on from another server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexi.1398 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 The only way to stop spies would be ensuring one person could only play on one server at a time- no alt accounts, no other gw2 accounts in the same IP address infact to achieve this- and that they also could not use any third party communication services- discord, messenger etc- while they are playing gw2, which is just plain impossible for so many reasons. Though i don't really think they're an issue, the most harm they can do- pulling tactics and seige spam- are things that i think, for both, non-spy problems are much worse and in general if a better solution existed it would also largely take care of spies using them alongside other parties who are a bigger problem. In short, it's a whole differnet discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MELORD.5013 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 spying work only for reset if you know where is the op group that gets the most kills fr a server you report that and you send a map q to face them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
