Hi Guys.

I guess most of you have expierence the following things:

Hero left Altar after capturing it
Relic in the golden relic run can be 'thrown' down the wall, so you do not need to walk down the stairs with it.

I don't know, but are these considered bugs? Because many people keep 'abusing' it for a long time - so I don't know if I shall feel bad about doing it do...

For example: how do you react, if you just capted the altar and your ghostly is still following you? Do you retreat or do you stay and fight a 'fair' match?

what does this have anything to do with game development suggestion?
this isn't technical support

Bugs are posted here occasionally. Better here than Riverside.

I do not really 'report' these 'bugs' - because I'm not even sure these are bugs

I just wanted to know how do you act, when for example the Ghostly Hero capted the altar und is still following you.

I've often seen that people play hide&seek then. So I assume it is 'normal' to play that way - but I don't want to judge on my subjective expierence, but want to know how do you guys react on that.

And do you consider this a bug, that you can throw the relic over walls in the golden relic run?

I've seen teams 'abusing' it every day - and it is there for a long time. So arenanet seems not to care about it. I therefore don't know how to act - and was asking your opinion on that

A bug report would have been quite different (with screenshots to prove and stuff).

The Hero off the Altar is definitely an exploit that has been in dire need of patching for many months.

So many times I've lost HoH illegitimately just because the team "holding" the Altar had their Ghost camped behind all of them, up their own stairs by the map's starting point.

That's a major exploit - no doubt about it. Devs, please fix it.
