The amount of cheaters in TBC Classic Season 1 was ridiculous. Way too many people are cheating their way to the glad/r1 rewards. It’s sickening to see the amount of cheaters not getting banned.
These two huge issues combined are super unhealthy for the TBC PvP scene. It will demotivate a lot of people and the problem will only ESCALATE if ignored, to the point where many REAL competitors will quit. It will only get worse if cheaters aren’t getting punished. Season 2 and the following seasons will be a complete cheating fiesta if you do nothing now. Everyone will notice how easy it is to cheat (pilot/wintrade/rmt) and not get caught. The gladiator/r1 rewards will feel so out of reach for people and this will demotivate new players to start grinding and current players will most likely quit after a season if not faster.
Way too much boosting, piloting and wintrading. Many real competitors are putting in a lot of time, energy and effort into getting better and progressing the ladder. This is heartbreaking for a lot of people. Cheaters and multi rank 1 players are controlling the ladders and many of the gladiator and r1 spots while breaking the ToS. Please do something about this before it’s too late. The Burning Crusade is my favorite game of all time. PLEASE Blizzard!
Unfortunately all wow pvp is and has been like this for years its just a really condensed version for tbc, idk if they will every do anything about it tbh
This was fixed a week ago, and as a result, cutoff rating dropped from 2555 on tuesday the 31st, to 2500 on the morning of wednesday the 1st
I definitely agree that boosting/piloting etc is completely out of hand though, I wouldn’t be surprised of upwards of 25% of glad titles are illegitimate in some way or another
The people doing this are paying god knows how much real life money, and spending a whole lot of time so that they can have some pixels in a 15 year old video game, in which absolutely nobody will care about their aforementioned pixels. Let them have it, who cares.
Well, I guess the people who really want to get Glad legitimately care. But they should ask themselves why? So their 18 year old self will pat them on the back?
Cheating arena is like buying a replica UFC or boxing belt. Everyone knows you didn’t earn it. I remember a guy on Frostwhisper back in real tbc who paid for a boost to 2k once. He was basically bullied for the rest of the expansion for it, and even though he wasn’t a bad player and eventually managed to get there himself, everyone still assumed he was boosted every time he got rating.
people are paying tons of $$$$ in any game! & payers exist in every single game, even in fail phone games, we all can be payers!, the concept of payers is about…
“i feel like i want this? ok i will get this without wasting much time/energy”
the difference between payer & tryhard is about income/wealth, throwing couple of thousand $$$$ in a game? for some people is the same as when you buy ice cream.
tbh i think only kids or idiots would push themselves in non-new game! trying hard in 16years old game is so retarded, and the funny fact is? most tryhard people been part of the boosts which existed since day1, if leveling boost or any type of boosts that speed up things without wasting time/energy! so why are they crying now because others are doing the same and buying arena boosts?
I’ve been playing wow since just before original tbc, on and off, and I’ve never even seen a gladiator title or mount. Those rewards are already completely off the radar for majority of players.
Yeah and it will only get worse if cheaters aren’t getting punished. Season 2 and the following seasons will be a complete cheating fiesta if they do nothing now. Everyone will notice how easy it is to cheat (pilot/wintrade/rmt) and not get caught. Please don’t screw this up blizzard. Some people really love The Burning Crusade.
Its not about those people being boosted. Its about these people being boosted by rank 1 players and denying new players their glad title due to the 0.5% cutoff.
That’s not cheating though is it? That’s the systems fault that you can literally fill the whole gladiator bracket with alts of r1 players and deny it for new ones altogether.
while everyone think that those accounts are players who bought boots? if with gold or real money? or through account sharing? and they hope blizzard take care of that? most of them are another accounts that belongs to rank1 players, therefore the 2weeks for blizzard investigation before s1 rewards? will find those accounts legit to obtain title/mount.
those accounts was created to get the title & mount to be sold later after the storm, wow fails in every direction it goes, no matter the changes blizzard did in the past? or will do? the abuses and rmt will always exist.
People who unironically buy someones account / char in 2021… I don’t even know if that foolish behaviour still exists as the owner of the account can just get the account back in some clicks.
It’s about it not being cheating if r1 players fill the pool with their alts in glad title range, because it’s their right to do so in a game where mounts are not accwide.
The “solution” would probably just be the retail welfare glad system, but this is TBC in 2021 and players will just fill spots and deny people from their titles. However, if it’s not cheating or rmt boosting some “noob” then it’s just nothing you can do about it.
If people get DQd the cutoffs will change before the titles roll out too, meaning that piloted people will lose their spot and some who didn’t make the cut made it then. That however would not be the case for simply doing glad on multiple of your own chars for fun and the mounts.
-go to those trade-gaming sites and check the all sellers history, u’ll find hundred of belf paladins sold in tbc-c. and thousands of account was sold in past 2years of wow classic.
-if the account has fake last name? buyer can attach authinticator to it & seller can’t retrieve it because he won’t be able to provide real id matching the account name.
-the buyer can even change that last fake name by contacting blizzard and put his real name & that will make the account will be 100% His/her for life time.
in summary? buying accounts is more than ever before and it’s safer than before.
also did retail solution stop gladiator boosting? xD carry sites still selling that.
Retail system stopped new and fair players getting denied a title they worked for. This old system literally kicks them out of the boat because of limited spots taken by boosted people.
Hope something is done about all the wintrading. Its a joke seeing teams gain 600-700 rating in a single week or going 100% wins on the last week just enough to get them glad titles…
