Guild Wars 2: ban players for operating a bug

ArenaNet and NCsoft just make a final wave of bans players from Guild Wars 2, those who have exploited a bug to duplicate a rare and have realized significant profits by selling the Guild Wars 2 gold game on the market

MMORPG known and appreciated by fans of the genre, Guild Wars 2 is currently facing a relatively embarrassing concern: the exploitation of a bug in the game by many players to draw serious profits. This operation will result in a massive and permanent banning many players by ArenaNet and NCsoft.

This bug allows you to duplicate a rare object, the ball of ectoplasm, through the recycling process resource snowflake combined with other resources such as Mithril. The cost of operation is very low, the players aware of the high probability of duplication of the ball of ectoplasm have given their heart, before placing them on the gaming market to derive maximum benefits.

ArenaNet has decided to get tough with these abuses, indicating that the use of this method - even if it is a bug inherent in the game - is akin to cheating. As a result, many gw2 gold player accounts were permanently banned.

This decision was particularly severe drawing the ire of players on the game forum, stressing that it is only to exploit the game in its current state, it would not be wrong. John Smith and Gaile Gray ArenaNet do not hear it that way, pointing out that the trick destroys the game economy:

"Perform this action hundreds and hundreds of times, this is called the exploitation and it is contrary to the rules of conduct and user agreement."

Of course, the developer develops a path patch to avoid repeating the feat again and having to hunt down cheaters banned. On the current wave of bans, the exact amount has not been disclosed.
