Holy hell, that's bad. I'm glad to say that I haven't seen such behavior over on Primal since Feast's revival. People throwing matches in solo-queue typically only happened here when Feast was overpopulated with tome hunters, because they were only there for a fast pay out. At the height of the season, there were actually PF's set up for it ... which was awful. Thankfully, I haven't seen much of that since Shatter came out, because the only people queuing now are mostly people who are interested in actually playing the game (tome hunters likely still believe the game mode is dead).

I'm honestly kind of surprised that you guys have had such bad play on Aether, given your PvP reputation. I get that competition brings out the absolute worst in people, but helping someone boost their rank by throwing your own win rate under the bus seems very counter-intuitive to me unless the only reason you're there is for tomes. Given that queue times are crap for you guys, I doubt that would still be the case; so, it really does seem odd that there isn't more fair play going on...
