PVP Wintrade Exploitation, is this reportable?

Please explain how win trading works. If you get teamed up with a random group I don't understand how this can happen.

Group makes 2 parties of 4 and queue up. There are not many people doing PvP (especially the 4-man premade one, or at least it was like that when I played my few rounds during first days of 2.1, most ppl queued with 3 ppl, taking a random healer) and DF puts priority on own server, so the chance of facing the other party is very high. Then they take turns for losing on purpose.

Thanks for clarifying, and that's what I suspected actually. So if PVP was more desirable win trading couldn't really exist. Ideally the PVP arena would be packed with competition, but at least if people are win trading someone will be available to meet me in a match should I form my own PVP party. Even if they're over-geared it'll be more fun than just queuing for hours.

Ultimately I'm against win trading, but I'm sure many win traders would also prefer to have some healthy competition. We should try to at least sympathize because what motivation do these guys have to invest hours upon hours doing legit battles with each other when there is no sign of any other groups participating for real competition. I can't blame them for focusing on the PVP rewards over the non-existent PVP gameplay in this case.

I hope the devs can bring PVP to life, but unfortunately I don't have a suggestion for that since the new gear seems to have not had the desired effect.
