GW2 First Level 80 Hit : Guild Wars 2 Discussions

Apparently the first level 80 was hit by a player named Surfeuze on the EU servers. He said it was done mainly through crafting in the game. He says no exploits where used but friends helped. I kinda like that the first level 80 was hit by not playing the standard MMO and killing mobs / questing.

this guy was banned for an exploitation

Nice, world first 80 and world first ban... He's the Michael phelps of gw2.

WOW really. Does anyone have the follow up link on it. He did a big speech saying he didnt cheat and just had help from friends while crafting.

wow...lol even the dev has done a check on his account and confirm that he didn't cheat his way up

I'll get the link in a bit it was on reddit though

Couldn't find the exact comment but look at the bottom of this page it quotes what the guy form Anet said, Im guessing he used the gathering glitch on some high level rich veins and just crafted a ton.

Yeah the i like how he also used crafting in the process very cool!

Hi I'm the first 80 I didn't cheat I just figured I could use this crafting macro to level up he may be the first 80 but ill be the last lol
