It's when you play arena but a seperate team (played by you or friends willing to help you) will deliberately lose in order to boost your arena rating. That's as far as I understand it anyways.

You could have also just googled "what's a win-trader" and seen a bunch of explanations.

People queu vs themselfs with ungeared or starter geared characters to boost their arena team on their main. Usually done in 3 vs. 3 since nobody plays them.

This is strictly prohibited!

I will for sure make a check for this in the future, we can calculate Item level very well so i will be able to see if a team is allowed to fight each other.

also, i was thinking about a system like this:

Team 1, Rating: 1000, team 2 Rating: 2000, Allow to fight each other? NO because there is a too big difference between the 2 ratings.

What i can check also is the Win / Loose, when a team has won 50 times and not lost anything to give them 2x less rating or something.


Will discus this with henhouse for sure.

A lot of people got there title through queue dodging. *COUGH* Wanca, Swellington, Drxoxo *COUGH*
And I think it will be unfair if you change that system now.

You are so clueless about people who are dodging and who aren't. I cba to argue about that, cause I know how things are done , cause I play arena a lot. So I gonna sum up everything in one sentence: Some people who you think never dodge - do dodge, and some people who you think dodge - not dodging at all.

When a team has won 50 times and not lost anything to give them 2x less rating or something... bro... what? I don't get this, don't get why do you wanna do it... force good ppl lose or what? Not every1 with 50-0 wintraded. Also I could play arena naked without wintrading... thats not against the rules.
I respect you as a developper but don't mess with stuff you don't understand.

btw that's what wintrading means, playing ur alts with 10 wows is another case.

Well if you wanna mess with this stuff , it would be better to give 50-0 guys more rating per win , that would sound more fairly. Well nevermind that stuff, it wouldn't change anything. If you wanna decrease chance of wintrading, make arena more popular. I think s3 pieces should be for low amount of rating and arena points, like it used to be.
