Guild Wars 2: Snowflakes exploit - ArenaNet swings the ban hammer

In the past, ArenaNet has repeatedly stressed that it imposes exploits and their use by gw2 gold players very seriously and appropriate sanctions. Now the developer of Guild Wars 2 has again swung the ban-hammer. This affects players who took advantage of the recycling of snowflake jewelry, which was introduced in the winter.

Players banned

As both players report on Reddit and the official GW2 forum, ArenaNet has again unpacked the ban-hammer and numerous accounts permanently disabled, as they took advantage of an exploit in the recycling of the snowflake ornament.

Was inter alia for the manufacture of jewelry a snowflake jewel needed. Recycled to the gem back then, you would receive this gem with a 80% chance and an additional 1-3 Ektoplasmakugeln. Then only some additional material was needed to produce the gem again and again to grab Ektoplasmakugeln.

Statement by Gaile Gray
ArenaNet also Gaile Gray commented on now. In her statement she said that she had seen the numbers and the damage to the economy could be substantial, whether the exploit has not been closed and would have allowed the relevant players to keep their illegally obtained income.

"Players whose accounts were closed, were the worst offenders. I speak from a lot of illegally obtained income and a significant risk for the economy, "Gray continued. Every time you could take something to make two, and then four, and then to make sixteen, one must know that it was just wrong. And the whole thing to repeat hundreds of times, is nothing else than an exploit and against the terms of use.

She knows that many players would not agree with it. Ultimately, we should not always consider the following: "We are all part of the game industry, and those who take advantage of exploits that hurt the rest of us."
