The old days you did not see it much, it was something the high end players complained about mostly. Now days PvP is swarmed with them, many of a players shuffle games will be against teams in discord together, win trading/boosting one account then logging over to the next one.
Last nights example: On a rogue alt I stayed in stealth, went to the far corner of the arena as a test way away. Both teams went at it but not actually fighting, they kept moving to my location trying to AOE me out of stealth. They were in voice, win trading, taking a dive when on certain rounds depending on who was being boosted.
First 2 days of the season shuffle is chill, normal actual gamers in shuffle, not 3rd party employees boosting accounts as a full time job. I was able to get my 1800 transmogs because of this, I would not dare queue up now, its mostly rigged shuffle matches. You prove nothing by letting the boosters strip your ratings to sell.
YES its a problem at low ratings, because the RMT boosters work on dozens of accounts, some have no rating.
Thank you for your time reading this, I hope Blizzard addresses this stuff in the near future.
One pattern I noticed is luck of the draw, on RMT booster matches “rigged games”, you will go 4/2 or 2/4 allot depending on if the one they are boosting is on your team more.
Yes, 2 heals during a healing shortage is how they can more easily create FIXED matches.
Both healers and1-2 dps in the match are all in discord together. If the one on your team is being boosted, then one on the other team take a dive. When that player is on the opposing team, healer barley heals, just enough that you may not notice whats going on.
Someone is making money because its Rampant atm!!! You can expect to land in a multi glad “Fixed” game on your first round with zero rating now.
Right now on my servers trade chat is endless advertisements for 3rd party cheating RMT for pvp ratings rewards, they openly do it…
Why Blizzard why??? I am sorry I am not a Mythic world first raider ,or a famous streamer with a huge audience, the people you DO listen to… Just a normal player like everyone else who wants a fair game, but when its openly corrupt and crooked. The Matches are in your face rigged.
Thing is he’s right, the game messes up sometimes and gives a dps 3 instead of 2 matches or a healer with 4 instead of 3 matches.
I actually had a team mate come and jump on my position while I tripple dr sapped a healer last season. Point emote and all. First bloody game in the lobby.
TY, many on the forums dont speak out anymore, they just get silenced and give up.
3rd party employees and players who have financial incentive, often police the forums to keep this topic as quiet as possible, and to silence anyone speaking out.
So I wanted to test ideas on how bad this is atm, I took my Demon hunter, full honor gear, 1 crafted, 1 tier and jumped into shuffle. Frist match zero rating, was a team of Glad experienced players, 4 wins 2 loss, second game, same deal 2 wins 4 loss. Its because the one they was boosting was on my team first game.
Last patch 1800 was the gatekeep, RMT folks selling the transmoggies, but now I would say 1600 is, because many raiders wanna jump in to 1600 and get a Mythic Raid tier piece. The win trading cheating is soo thick right now they basically have monetized all pvp ratings rewards RMT.
I can certainly promise you that u are copeing hard and to enlighten you: boosting in shuffle barely if almost never happens like you describe it. It will almost always go through piloting because its the easiest and most non complicated way for everyone involved and if someone is piloting the guy piloting does not need a wintrade team to get the account to a certain rating neither does the guy doing the boost even have dedicated people at all times helping him. It all would require immense planning and exact sniping which is almost impossible at any ratings unless you play at the literal top ladder.
It is just time wasting as a money/boost strategy for the guy doing it especially if it ever fails once. And there are many factors how a boost like that could easily fail and that just starts with not getting the same q pop
So a tip for you instead of trying to blame your lack of skill on others, get better yourself first before complaining about things you also have no clue about because on top of that you make yourself look like a big clown
Really? Its a HUGE industry RMT, they spam trade on every server 24/7, posts always up on group finder… All it takes is 2 healers and a couple dps, queue like they did back in the premade normal BG days.
3rd party website employees do their best to stop anyone talking about these topics. Multi million dollar industry, every season most of those gladiator mounts, RMT, someone is making bank…
ALL of those raiders would love to have a 1600 token for high end PvE gear. So now your first Shuffle game has a high chance of being win trading, gatekeeping is now 1500s. They literally turned pvp into RMT pay to win.
Back in the premade bg days the bgs still had numbers attached to them which would make it easy for teams to queue into eachother there was also a premade system in place already which would prioritize 10man premades vs 10man premades and whats even more crazy about it is that no one even cares about premade bg since they reward nothing other than honor and are unrated.
Also most of those 3rd party websites you see are underpaying russian websites with lack of customers with the business strategy being rob your boosters. So now tell me exactly again who in their free mind (mostly r1 players) will get 2 Healers and 4 DPS to queue at the same time at the same mmr for literally 10 bucks from 0-1800 with an insanely high chance that those people are not even in the same queue for the same shuffle even at the same mmr. You see how stupid that sounds? Get some education how boosting actually works in that game before you try to claim facts
3rd party website employees, they police the forums, and mass flag anyone whom dares speak out against the RMT boosting. Most whom speak out get silenced, I learned first hand… Fight the good fight!
1600 token for Mythic Raid gear token, oh NO they would never boost in mass for low ratings.
Multibillion dollar industry selling 3rd party RMT stuff in video games, OHHH NO, nothing to see here, its a skill issue.
Famous wow streamers like Ruki calling out cheating with video proof, OH nothing to see here again…
When ever you play wow trade chat is spammed non stop, by dozens of people on each server, with RMT 3rd party website advertisements, on EVERY server, classic, hardcore, all games on all platforms. OHH No its not true, does not exist lol.
The lengths they go to eh? Someone is making money, also someone has allot to lose, they dont want YOU the player to realize whats going on.
You really shouldn’t waste your time on these people. A lot of us have tried explaining how impractical this is in the past and let’s just say logic and common sense aren’t their strong suit.
Is he trolling or not? Because at first I thought he obviously was, but the more I read his posts the more he reminds me of a friend of mine who struggled with a lot of mental health issues involving gangstalking paranoia.
The monetary incentive is there, most of this game is all about the Raids and Dungeons, by placing that PvE token for 1600cr in rated pvp, allot of raiders will try pvp.
Thats why right now 0-1600 rating is packed with RMT booster teams, basically Gatekeeping and raking in the cash… Almost forcing players to pay the “GLAD TAX”.
Blizzard needs to do something!
Its a Multi Billion dollar industry, 3rd parties farming and selling in game rewards across all games.
The fact that when anyone talks about this subject (Botting / rmt boosting), the 3rd party RMT employees show up to silence them any way they can.
You could manipulate Solo about 10x easier for the dependance on heals, coming from someone who used to work with that system in rated and random bgs. That would be harder, you’re accounting for at least 10 players instead of 2-4 with no help from a priority q spot like a healer.
