I've seen a few ways where players had been getting on roof of the pvp maps, but most of the time it looks like an accident. Until recently i saw a group of players from the same guild use this exploit to spawn camp players as they enter the map. Cheating/exploiting is a breach of the Terms of Service. I was just wondering the communities view points. I've already submitted a ticket and will be adding this to the bug sections.

Edit:
For all the players that believe it's okay to exploit because its openbeta, then take that risk. No where in the terms of service does it say that its okay to abuse exploits because it's open beta. Most mmo's that have an open beta do a fresh start on servers so there is more leeway.

So it goes. Just add them to your ignore list and next time your in a game with them kick them from the team or just quit the match.
I also think naming and shaming is against the forum TOS, you might want to look at that.

"If anyone is curious" this guy doesnt know that no one will get banned for Exploiting in a Beta launch. Im not saying i'm for exploiting, im just stating that betas are for finding bugs like that. not getting the people that found them banned.
1. find bug=> reporting it and continue playing game as intend. (Not jummping over again and gain advantage.)
2. find bug=> (maybe reporting it) and continue to use it, so u can gain advantage over other players.
To remind u there is no wipe after this beta...
Not judging - but it would force folks to toss a few skills around instead of jumping in one spot for duration.

Man up to exploiting? So if i somehow activated godmode in game, i can just say man up?
When it happened in a match i was in, i couldn't leave, i was chained controlled, stunned and killed too fast to leave. I couldn't even teleport dodge out, much less fight back.
The area should be higher up, so you can't do it, and even toss in an instant death zone or kick from match if you go there. That last one would be pretty funny to watch before people learned to not do it.

Why do you think it is a bug to get into the other team's spawn?
It's a ledge.
There is NO invisible wall set to block enemies. They have INVISIBLE WALLS in the FOUNDRY, so the mechanic is possible.
The devs were AWARE when they built the maps that many classes have teleports/charges/etc. I am sure they intentionally set things this way.

plus we only just found that out and haven't been using it that much
Your thread is truely in bad taste OP.
So there you have it, the developers fix issues as quickly as possible ???
I'm no AAA game developer but the little i know from unity and UDK development is that this is at most a few hours work for ONE developer, may, june, july and august has passed. All i can say is that if there was a pay 1000 zen to fix a bug you hate button on the homepage they'd resolve it in minutes if a few people clicked it.
<<Edited for the following:
Rofl, bugger what they doing, it's the fact that as a premade they have to ha ha ha ha.
Rename that guild to BAD please.
Hilarious they got busted also.
I'm sure a discussion of this matter may still be relevant in some regards but most of this discussion has been corrected by the developers. If somebody wishes create a new constructive thread on the matter.
This thread, however, is going to rest.
