    Sorry Canadane, but I have to disagree with you - win-trading does cut out everyone who actually wants to play, because it creates an unnecessary barrier (dealing with people who don't want to honestly play [they tend to be hostile {yes, I've experienced it}]) that has caused most, if not all people to stop even trying to play, thus reducing the player base, thus making it nigh impossible to play the game at all unless you bring along a friend, which is essentially impossible due to the disenfranchisement of most people towards the mini-game.

    By the way, most win-traders who "queued" up while I was waiting (forever...) and realized I was their opponent rather than their intended partner just quit the game. Sure, it gave me points (though not many due to the fact they intentionally have the "loser", who typically has lower rank points, join queue first to "punish" anyone waiting for messing with their exploit), but I would also like to enjoy actually playing the game, not get roped into involuntarily win-trading myself, which is essentially what happens when they quit. They don't care about the penalty, they'll just come back once I've given up on playing, which most people have done at this point permanently...

    So, yeah, it does cut out everyone who wants to enjoy the mini-game, being that everyone has given up on it ever being something we can enjoy without picking and scratching for matches. Win-trading has essentially killed LoVM.
