Kenjigreat Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I am just curious how many people do you think would suddenly be on the group ranked leaderboards a week before S3 closes? People on your server that you have never heard before or played a match with in Ranked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyakaschala Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) what i found to be pretty telling is that no one, or at least all the classes I checked, have zero cross-over between grouped and solo. Most likely means that solo queuers are syncing in off hours. I haven't had a chance to look into groups, but I'd venture to guess there's a slew of teams out there with zero wins and no damage, or at least 0-20 edit: quick perusal, 3 snipers from ToFN, no kills, 600ish rating, so they had to play a lot of games to get a rating that low. And interestingly, 3 ToFN toons are in the top 15 overall..... not clear evidence, but something fishy. Also, in regards to the 3 snipers, none have done any solo ranked either. Thus, IMO, if they were legit, there would be at least some solo ranked games. Edited November 1, 2014 by Anyakaschala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoliteAssasin Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I am just curious how many people do you think would suddenly be on the group ranked leaderboards a week before S3 closes? People on your server that you have never heard before or played a match with in Ranked. And this wasn't the case for the previous seasons? I'm still laughing at how people in RP and PVE guilds are running around with S1 rancors and S2 groot helmets, while actual pvpers have neither. They go into operations and solo/4s queue in there without notifying any potential competitors. Not much you can do though, Bioware's too lazy to do anything about it. PVP in this game is a joke. Of course I'm still waiting for the ability to AFK in a raid and get my participation dread master mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capote Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) It has happened since S1 and bioware didn't punish anyone (and yes, it is a violation, musco mentioned on a stream that they'd investigate and punish those cases). I play on POT5 and know a lot of people who has been doing it since S1. Hell, I even reported a lot of them and nothing ever happened. Harsh truth is they don't care that much for PvP to the point of making it competitive over the loss of a few subscribers (the win traders). As someone who got the rewards playing properly this used to bug me a lot to the point of leaving the game a couple times, but honestly I came to the conclusion that I should play this game just for the fun of regulars and simply pretend that there aren't soloQ arenas in it. When I want some competition I simply go to another game who actually has structure for it (usually LoL).

smuldro Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 there are quite a few win traders on my server, we scour the leader boards looking for people on our server who suddenly have a higher rating than they should, find what guild they are, and try to interrupt the win trading if you can find who does it and find their time frame its a pretty easy couple of points of rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowopsx Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 It's Biowares fault. They don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
