Update - Thursday, September 24, [sic] 2014

• Reduced the minimum number of players in a Heroes' Ascent group from 6 to 1.
• Limited the number of Zaishen Strongboxes that a player can gain from Heroes’ Ascent in one day to 5.
• Limited the number of Hero title points that a player can gain from Heroes’ Ascent in one day to 300 (doubled during Heroes’ Ascent bonus weekends). [sic]
• The /resign command will no longer work for the first several minutes of PvP matches.
• Increased the amount of Dishonor given to players who abandon PvP matches before the end of the match.

These changes aim to encourage more active competition in the Heroes’ Ascent format, while also updating some systems that were previously abused. Specifically we are removing some of the restrictions related to creating teams, and are also putting in some reward restrictions rewards [sic] and changes to the Dishonor system. These restrictions should not impact players who haven’t abused those systems while playing Heroes’ Ascent in the past.

Guild Wars Wiki notes

• This update caused customized items for any character that has undergone a name change to not function properly the first time any of them are used again until they are successfully used.
  • Copies of items will count as the same item when experiencing this (e.g. two Hero's Handbooks will not open until another customized item has been used).
