As you are mostly all aware now (If not, where the heck have you been?) there has been a trend called Red resign day that occurs when Hero Battles is on the Zaishen Combat.

Get quest, goto HB, play rated match and zone out on landing on red team, repeat match until 2 wins, get reward, repeat quest. The results of this are MASSIVE amounts of gold, ZCoins and Zkeys coming into the game (Some reports of people getting 2 stacks of Zkeys over 24 hours)

It appears this has been confirmed cheating like any other form of match manipulation, and we all know what happened to Rawr as a warning shot for this behaviour during the AT.

Thing is, RR day is SO widespread now that serious banning could effectively wipe a massive chunk of the player base. My question is, what will the live team do about it?

As Gaile said, the Live Team does not yet have an answer...so how can we answer except to speculate?

As she says, it is "officially" cheating. Just like going 5 over the speed limit is "officially" speeding. Doesn't mean anything will happen. And with HB being removed soon, I doubt anything will.

Uh...they are removing the format from the game. /lock

They may be removing the format from the game, but the match manipulating is still generating ridiculous amounts of rewards. Granted that's probibly part of why it's on the chopping block on the place.

The quest should just be removed, if they're not yet ready to take the actual HB from the game. End of RR.

El Perma Shadow · Oct 10, 2009, 01:18 AM // 01:18

there will be other farms like this, you can only slow down the process

thunder boy · Oct 10, 2009, 01:21 AM // 01:21

wait what is RR Day? woot is that an excused day off from work: ;-)
imagine me submitting a request to take a day off for RR Day :-)

Shadowed Ritualist · Oct 10, 2009, 01:21 AM // 01:21

People will pick another pvp to rr.

Great Dwarf Weapon · Oct 10, 2009, 01:37 AM // 01:37

I don't think anet will ban people who do RR.

FengShuiDove · Oct 10, 2009, 01:37 AM // 01:37

Honestly, GW is dead if they ban. Too many people, too many high-end and involved people at that.

turbo234 · Oct 10, 2009, 01:39 AM // 01:39

pfft. i like my 6000 balth and 1k every 2 wins

RR = Red Resigns. Basically people are making a statement about how badly Hero Battles are neglected (or something like that). What happens is that when a match starts, whoever has been assigned the red color resigns. Anet got pissed when a team threw the entire monthly tournament like this.

We can just look at past problems and mistakes.

Like Shadow Form.

turbo234 · Oct 10, 2009, 01:48 AM // 01:48

nothing since it's being removed soon.

Dead for you and a couple of hundred, at most, other people, perhaps. Won't affect the many thousands of other people who play GW regularly.

Sifow Chan · Oct 10, 2009, 01:54 AM // 01:54

HB is going to be removed soon. Who cares what happens to it between now and then.

]HM[ Sabre Wolf · Oct 10, 2009, 01:58 AM // 01:58

like everyone else is saying... HB (along with TA) is being removed... but has been delayed due to live issues with SD... so whenever SD is ready... HB is gone, and RR is gone with it.

Esprit · Oct 10, 2009, 02:06 AM // 02:06

Cheating? This is a joke.

Anet created Hero Battles.
Anet created Titles that take ridiculous amount of time to max.
Anet created Zaishen Combat rewards.

The fact that players have created what is known as Red Resign Day shows how flawed title implementation and Zaishen combat rewards are.

Anet, you created this "problem". Then you point the finger at the players for coming up with a way to achieve a title/rewards through a means that you made possible! Way to shift the blame. Look in the mirror first if you want the real culprit of this problem.
