Wintrading Solo Q Feast

[Yorihisa]

Hello fellow grievers and community who doesn't care.

Yes another useless post about PVP and yes alot f you don't care because you don't play it. But for the small community who has been enjoying PVP for a long time they are being affected by a disease called Wintrading.

So what is Wintrading you ask? Simple, loosing on purpose so your friend wins and gets ranked in Feast.

But how do you Wntrade you ask? SImple, just qeue healers and you will know for sure you won't be in same Team and faster/higher possibilty to be against each other.


Lately there are some notable amount of weird happenings. There is a certain healer which shall not be named, let's name him Healer A, who was weirdly always AFK during Feast Match. It could be ofcourse a DC or a real life matter. But every match? Now let's observe some more closely.

Healer A suddenly starts playing. Not terrible player but normal. And suddenly you win, so you Qeue again. Then you have Healer A again in your group. But now he is again AFK in the match.
After some observations by the PVP community on Discord we noticed he would only AFK during the match when a certain Healer was in the Party. We will call him Healer B.
After a whole day we came to the conclusion, that Healer A would only afk in matches against Healer B.

TD:LR Healer A is Afking, so Healer B can get a win and Rank fast through Season 4 Rankings.

The ToS states:

3.2 Disruption. You may not in any way disrupt or interfere with the Game experience of other players, including the disruption of Square Enix's computers and servers.

So why doesn't Square Enix do anything, it's clearly against their own User Agreement.


This is a commonly known problem, after every match players are sending reports to the GM's, but always end up getting a generic message. ' We are sorry for your grief and we are looking into it'.
But nothing happends, they are still playing, still trading.



I would hope SQ will start taking this seriously.
