Gah every season... Twice this season It isn't an exploit, it's just a flawed system... I think.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2649806330?page=1

With the current MMR system the following exploit/clever use of game mechanics, whatever you want to call it, can award anyone with enough time on their hands with a gladiator and possibly rank one title. All you need to do is this http://i.imgur.com/iR9rb.jpg.

You get 2 teammates with low mmr thus boosting your mmr while winning. Their mmr barely goes up because the system thinks you are carrying them thus awarding you even more mmr.

Once your mmr reaches 3.8-4k which is just a matter of time with an average mmr of MERELY 1800 you do the same process with 2 more characters to get their mmr to 3.8-4k.

Then you get these 3 farmed up characters with 4k mmr and voila your average team mmr is 4000.. without ever having to worry about facing a team over 2k mmr.

The last step is playing a few games to just get the team rating up and woooo look at that 40% win ratio with a rating of 3000 as you can see on this link here http://www.arenajunkies.com/team/3v3/kr/%EC%95%84%EC%A6%88%EC%83%A4%EB%9D%BC/552336-%EA%B4%91%EC%97%AD%EB%8F%84%EB%B0%9C%EC%9E%84%EB%AF%B8%EB%8B%A4-%E A%B3%A0%EA%B0%B1%EB%8B%98/

and 3.200 rated with 50% win ratio as u can see on this link here

I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore
/north /north *You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]!*
/cast sheild *sheild spell unavailable*
/csat shield *csat: unknown command*
*[Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]*

The thread you linked to from the official forums has been deleted. Guess it's "working as intended."

It's sad that after investing so much time and money, and putting the community through so many nerf and buff cycles, to make arenas work they're still such a mess.

Its sad when "exploit early, exploit often" determines "success" in a game...and "skill" has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Arena blows goats, and they should never have been introduced to the game.


I'll go so far as to say that if you want PVP gear, you HAVE to play on a PVP server....and remove PVE servers from the battlegroups entirely.

They chose PVE only servers...give it to them.

WoW took soo much from other games(which is common now) and yet they never looked into or spent some of their billions to hire people to create, borrow or balance a working pvp system. Many games have came and gone, yet WoW stands alone as the worst tested/balanced game ever in the MMO genre for pvp. Even Shadowbane had its shit together better than this.

People cheat in PvP? Now that's a real newsflash

Sad, as always, but not surprising...

These threads aren't really about people cheating -- they're about Blizzard willfully ignoring the obvious, known and published cheats/flaws/SNAFU/whatever you wanna call it, making the entire thing a complete joke.

They cant admit anything is wrong, that might tarnish their E-sport.

Blizzard's failed warden cannot even keep up with detecting all the latest game hacks, which completely determine PVP victories now.

Yet blizzard insists on continuing with the facade.
