Playing 10 games with random 5v5 team = 3 month ban?
Good afternoon warmane,
I just tried to log in to my account to find this message:
"Your account has been suspended for 2 months 4 weeks due to Wintrading"
I have been very inactive on lordaeron for a time now, but recently decided to do some 2v2 again with a friend. Sometimes though I would come online and my 2's mate wouldn't be online , so I would do a bg or join a random raid.
One of those days someone asked me to join their 5's team for a few games as a healer, so having nothing else to do I accepted and joined the team for some games. I did 10 games with them and that was that.
Now I found out it was this team that must have been wintrading at some point? But I had absolutley no idea I was just under the impression it was some random other team that was queing for 10games for some arena points at flush.
I would like to add that about 90% of the wins in EVERY 3v3 team on Lordaeron are against teams that are flung together on global search for a quick 10 games so they get arena points at the flush, for the few 3v3 teams on the ladder that are actually actively playing together those teams are free wins basicly.
Is that considered wintrading? Cause in that case you should probably ban the whole 3v3 ladder.... ???
Now I am banned for 3 months for something I didn't even know was happening and I was just doing some randoms a favour by joining their 5's team so they could queue....
Anyway, this really took me by surprise. It wasn't my intention to wintrade at all, but I guess I should've been more vigilant. Just coming online, joining some random 5's team and playing 10 games is now apparently bannable. So everyone else out there beware of any arena team you join, cause you might get instantly banned for it.
