My guildies and I tried to ignore this for a while but right now it’s getting out of hand. Whole squads/guilds dedicated to using this exploit make it now impossible to ignore. Just imagine 10-15 thieves in WvW coming out of stealth and spamming these consumables non stop. It’s completely broken and needs to stop. This is just like the other golem in a box exploit which was just removed.
I was in a group of about 10 people and a commander when all of a sudden 90% of us were stunned and losing health fast. There was absolutely nothing we could do. After about 3 seconds due to culling, we saw the exploiters magically phase in dumping these things on everyone and we were all dead. The few that were able to survive the initial dump were quickly killed since you can’t dodge these when thieves get to use them while invisible. I counted 8 thieves and 2 mesmers using them and they all belonged to a guild called “Spikeroot Farmers.”

Arenanet, please remove these from WvW. It’s not funny anymore.
