PVP Wintrade Exploitation, is this reportable?

[Fynlar]

I don't see why doing anything like this is any more detestable than people who cheated the whole "3 random parties" thing with CT by setting up the 3 parties and all having them queue up under French language or something. And no, I did not find that detestable, just a clever workaround of silly mechanics.

Don't see what makes this any different than any other kind of group that wants to team up with another group to farm experience points in a way that's fair to both parties.

Not sure if this was posted before, bit damn is that discouraging.

If they did bans for this they would also need to ban all the people who did commendation farming as well. But in the end I think the number one reason people do this is to get the gear for glamour. I wouldn't worry about it for serious PvP players since you typically wont be running into groups doing this anyways. I did it for awhile yesterday, because I (eventually lol) want to glamour the gear. But I do hope they make PvP more interesting, because it is always fun to beat on each other!

I run into ppl every day who i know wintraded their gear (Even have screenshots of some people organizing groups for it and admitting to it in chat), who proceed to kill me rapidly because I lack the high level gear that allows me to stay alive.

And if people were going into stuff together and trading commendations then yes that should have been considered an exploit too. If it was with random ppl and they just did well and got commendated, i don't see an isue with that.
But at least there the gear doesn't actually effect gameplay.

Yeah, the thing about that though is its again a lack of players causing that problem. If more people played then you would get matched with people your same rank who didn't have all their gear. Which is how its supposed to be. But again as of now the interest just isn't there so you get forced into high and low level situations that aren't fair to begin with.

lol I didn't realize there was a delay if DF couldn't find anyone near your rank. That is absurdly stupid. How could anyone possibly think that was a good idea.

A better, non-idiotic solution would be to match up people regardless of rank and give increased xp to players from lower ranks. I believe the system already does this to an extent, but the bonus is extremely small.
