First on my list this week is fantastic article from GuildMag reminiscing about Guild Wars. I've very fond memories of the game although I can safely safe that I'll never return to it. Guild Wars 2 has had such a positive effect on me and my taste in MMOG's that I find it difficult to play its predecessor. Do you miss Guild Wars?
Hunters Insight has an excellent post detailing just where to find jumping puzzles.
Combat Mode 1.0 is an interesting concept, which is technically a script that turns Guild Wars 2's default targeting into something very similar to Tera. I'm actually really impressed with the video but wish ArenaNet had implemented it, rather than taking a risk on a third party program. With no clear line as to whether you can use it without the risk of a ban, it might be one to avoid.
Not necessarily a news article, but I encountered my first "hacker" today who was using a teleporting script in WvW to constantly zip around the map while attacking people. Its infuriating to see and I wondered if anyone else has encountered any individuals doing the same?
This is a hilarious thread over on Reddit, with players showing off their funniest screenshots. The very first has to be my favourite.
There's a very busy thread over on the official forums discussing the Mesmer's Moa ability. Undoubtedly a pain in the arse, but is it really overpowered?
Over on Top Tier Tactics there is some excellent satire on show. Just to stress, this letter isn't serious...
Who ever said Engineers can't deal good damage?
Ravious over at Kill Ten Rats isn't receiving enough attention for his Dear Bookah series. It's clever, well written and absolutely absorbing. If you haven't read it already, make sure you head on over and read them from start to finish.
There's an interesting post by a member of the "botting" community over on Reddit. I'm unsure whether it can be taken as insightful, genuine or the voice an individual seeking some sort of approval from those around him. Either way, it's an interesting read.
Lastly, it's always nice to see a few individuals better a zerg.

Have seen this twice once in WvW and once in PVE (no idea why a person would do this in PVE other than testing).
Both the satire and the comments below it were epic, but also slightly depressing when you look at the numbers. More than half of the commenters hadn't realized it wasn't serious
