To start with, wintrading per rated battlegrounds isn't stated as dissalloved in rules.
Wintrading: Arranged Arena battles in order to profit of its prizes is highly forbidden leading to Permanent bans.
This is minor of course as in should be of common sense for people to know this. As well as the bottom line states: This page does not cover all the rules. If a GM find an unfitting behavior, he or she will punish the player accordingly. I submitted a PM to the creator of the rules with suggestions to add it in for avoiding confusion.
Regardless,
As stated by the rules, it talks about wintrading is in arranged battles in order to profit. If in fact, 1 person did this without the other's knowledge, wouldn't that be considered only that person doing wintrading while the rest of the team are innocent due to their lack of knowledge? However, if people knew, obviously everyone included should deservably recieve a ban.
So if that did happen, people knew about this and stayed either way, then the ban is totally legit.
But if in fact, 1 person was doing this without the knowledge of others, I would personally question if this result is fairly dealt with. Rather see that person doing so being the only one guilty.
So I wonder, was this fairly dealt with? I hope and believe that most of you guys are smart enough to know to never do this. Why start wintrading when you have stats such as 30-40wins and 0-7 losses? Doesn't make much sense. :P
I spent the last 4-5hours, waiting for queue to pop in rated yesterday. Instead of having some real fun with battles against Supreme, I stood there, doing nothing.
TL:DR: I believe, without any proof, that not all people banned should've have been banned and I hope whoever innocent will get unbanned soon. So we can enjoy more rateds versus eachother! :D
