If you don't want to raid, dont expect to get High Allagan, which you can't get by abusing the system . And if you want PvP rewards, PvP! Which you SHOULD NOT be able to abuse the system to obtain either.
Again, it only affects PVP if those players who are win trading are doing it to further bolster their pvp gears. Most are not. They are doing it for glamours.

And c'mon, you could also game the system just by going into a random pvp match and losing on purpose. YOU GET POINTS FOR LOSING AND WINNING. That, in fact, takes less effort than finding 7 other people and win trading. So how exactly is someone self entitled? Because you can just as easily give ZERO EFFORT the legit way and still gain rank, gears, etc.
