GW2 on PC is completely unplayable

The title explains the problem. Some internet sleuths found out that the 10th anniversary drew the attention of a hacker who created a [Edit - CM] mod to completely break the game and make it unplayable. Every single lobby has the same wonky settings (like invisible players and 1hp) and the lag gets out of control to the point that the game crashes. It's not just the North American servers either, every single region has this issue. It has been like this over 24 hours now. 

The fact that this person was able to do this, and the fact that it has been 24 hours of radio silence from EA just further invites hackers to come take shots at the game on PC. It's just embarrassing all around that EA is currently having their servers held hostage on one of their games (a game that they have available to play for free via EA plus and Xbox Game Pass, so it's not like this can be kept hush hush). 

And yes, I understand that when a developer makes another game with dedicated servers in a franchise the vast majority of resources goes to that game (looking at you, Neighborville) but still... no server support? None?

    Don't say that. EA is not really aware on how serious this situation is.

    If you look into that one Discord warning image that Ellien_Chomper had posted in his comment about this whole situation, you very much well can.

    They're probably thinking it's all just some joke spam to them or something. Idk.

    I could not verify who is the author of the video. Anyways, the main focus here is what the video shows, all the cheats that are ruining multiplayer. 

    I am still finding lobbies completely modified, such 1HP + invisibility, cheaters that ends matches immediately and swap the maps and others.
