Aether #1 pvp rank is a wintrader. Here's proof:

[magzillas]

I think it's particularly telling that in many of the screenshots I see of this player, their damage is usually abysmal compared to the damage they take...despite engineering a 5v4 in their favor and playing NIN.

Not that we needed much proof to conclude that a well-documented win trader is probably not that good at pvp, but an interesting trend nonetheless.

Having been in feast top 100's multiple times, the majority of players are absolutely legit.
There are sadly always some bad eggs though and everyone is equally annoyed by them and wish SE would ban them (not suspend them, ban them).

I am not sure what the person you quoting was going for. But if say 10 people cheated in top 100. Those 10 people didn't just change their wins. They changed the wins of every top 100 player they interacted with. Calling into the question of all those games, making the top 100 less legit. Did someone luck out and always get the benefit of a win from win traders or a loss. Lance Armstrong cheated, but his damage to the rest of the field is just as great.



People can really be a couple ways on this. Respect the time and effort people put into ranking up and understand they might have had some matches that were questionable. Or since the game was polluted to such an extent none of the results are truly valid. With the RNG of the matchmaking I don't think other players should be blamed. And it is not like you are getting cash anyways.

I just warned a few people on the Crystal datacenter about a wintrader i've encountered.

They are not even same class, but always queue together.

And magically, the MCH forgets how to press buttons and to game the moment they are against the PLD. But do really well when they are with the PLD.

Also same FC and the MCH is named under "... alts"

I know it won't do much, but i did report them both for griefing, because why not.
It's just not fun to lose in a 4v5.

Agree with some of the folks here that they should just remove the top 100. So much cheating going on now anyway. Just make it all battle pass. I made it to Diamond and don’t even go back into rank anymore after I encountered a few cheaters. I’m over it.

He's gone btw, so they actually did do something. Probably not enough as far as their account is concerned though, people like that should simply be perma-banned without a single warning.

Oh he’s not number 1 on aether anymore? He’s been removed?

Confirmed: He's 6 feet under.

Now they just need to get rid of a certain WHM that can disappear beneath the map:

Dang it would be a shame if the current number 3 (on my datacenter) was also a wintrader already







these two people marked green are always the same, the whm switched to mch and just HAPPENS to play like garbage when not in the same team.

Well apparently it's already known but, huh, imagine that
How strange and convenient indeed

[Pandie_Goodies]

I don't see this person in the leaderboard anymore.

I decided to check the leaderboard out of curiosity over this whole wintrading thing and as I checked I do not see them on the leaderboard anymore.

All it takes is to report them and sooner or later they will get hit, they were probably blatantly using cheats too. gg gamers we did it.
