I was on my main and bumped into 2x prots in SS… Something I have never seen before. All the DPS started writing “Wintrading” in chat before the game had started which took me by surprise, too which I searched the Paladin player after the game and this player looks like they have 2 accounts with 8+ Prots on the ladder… it definitely looks suspicious especially having little to no achievements, low pvp level but multiple r1 titles? Is this punishable or are they just playing v themselves on multiple accounts to gain a r1 title?
Yes. Report it under “boosting” with comment “wintrading with own accounts”.
That my dear friend, is wintrading.
The #1 pala prot ladder has around 90% winrate, he’s insanely good
yeah haha… I mean the one in my lobby went 6-0 too, so I am unsure if this is common for the ‘better’ prots to have good win rates… even still, I was just shocked to see the pala from my lobby have so many r1 titles in DF with so little account achievements. Seems a sus bracket if you ask me!
Its probably the same player that’s been doing it since DF getting prot r1 every ssn they have like 10 different prots and just win trades all their titles… Blizz need to fix prot being counted as a DPS and not their separate bracket (like it currently is) as it just makes it a horrible shuffle experience for everyone.
Prots making new accounts, regular renames after every seas. Sketchy check-pvps. Multiple times caught live wintrading. Shocker.
Hi guys, I have been trying to climb the prot pala ladder for fun this season (biggest mistake I have done).
Until 2.1 mmr you queue legit players and its actually quite fun (except for you guys sorry!).
Then here comes the lunatic wintrader: I realised that I was queuing really often these prot pal playing with adapt trinket? Whenever I would win the 2 opening rounds these pals (fully green geared) would just /afk to leave game and queue with a lower mmr pal to simply try 3-3 so that I wouldn’t gain any rating/mmr.
You would of course never queue his ranked 1 pal (and even if you did he would instantly 6 0 one of his alt to be back on top of ladder) but you will always queue his fully green alts.
I then created a little excel sheet of all these characters because I was bored and realised the guy had not 2 but 3 accounts lol (you can linked them by checking warband mentors achievs dates, same gear, same transmog, human female, same talents).
I can’t give names but if you go check the ladder (not check pvp because he is hidden, you can check on wow ladder or seramate) he is actually ranked 1, 4, 5, 7, 10, 12, 16, 18, 29 and maybe others? (rank 2 and 3 of ladder is also a wintrading dude but at least he has never tried to ruin experience of other players (to my knowledge?)).
I have sent report to blizz but idk if it will work, from what I read he has been doing this for 4 seasons.
Please blizzard do something it is so obvious!

its prolly urself and all tanks are wintraded there a re many pros who say that blood dk and protpalas all wintraded rahbekius even trades himself in blitz
Sadly they won’t do anything, they automatically k ow the issue as people got a ton of exemple, vidéo etc… But they never apply any ban and if they do the guy create another account and can cheat for another 10 season for free.
Imo tank r1 shouldn’t exist, it’s literally stupid, tanks aren’t designed for pvp.
I know exactly who you are talking about Magicmike, I have done some research myself and got the same outcome. They are wintrading in plain sight, and it’s damning obvious… each boosting account has hardly any achi points, and the fact they are all human female playing adapt trinket… its a case of if bliz want to ban them I guess? As much as I disagree with prot shuffles, I disagree more with cheating win traders like this player. I suggest you make a detailed report to hacks@blizzard.com if you haven’t already, hopefully that might be more effective than just a ticket.
This player is just gatekeeping and manipulating the prot ladder.
i knew you would make this post after i threw you to the bottom of the ladder. Ez r1 this season, thanks for rating.
YOU are the wintrader with 90% winrate playing on 3 different accounts, stop gaslighting.
Here is the proof when YOU give me top 1 spot by losing (why wouldnt you play with your own account like you usually do btw? were you on drugs or smth? You know theres no chance )
And second screenshot when you leave on your top2 paladin facing me, and lose 150 rating

Now you are here, isnt this whole post about you from dragonflight? - Wintraders / Bot abusers in Protection Paladin Solo Shuffle Bracket - PVP / Arenas - World of Warcraft Forums
Reading the lengthy post, it looks like numerous players have called you out… no smoke without fire comes to mind.
It just looks like you are back at it, and Magicmike has outed you again.
Prot shuffles needs to go ASAP so you cannot cheat the ladder anymore.
crazy that u can get banned for namenscalling, but wintrading on multiple accounts is allowed, this game is an actual clowngame at this point when it comes to pvp
u put already more work into pvp than blizz, ty for your effort
no it wont, they are bussy playing candycrush
wont happen by the hour/wage what they get
at this point, Blizz wont do anything against it, who cares, prot palas are anyway a meme/ same for shuffle, best thing what the community can do, is to ignore this bracket and let it die.

Thank you for the screenshots man thats very helpful. You are right you did 4-2 the other wintrader /clap.
Now could you please show us who you 6-0 on the 05/02 at 2am LOL.
Also please do the same with your other pal puzzie rank 3 and show us screenshots of the last games I’m so curious on who you threw to the bottom of the ladder LOL.
Btw I’m not this Quarts/Crab dude, he is literally speaking to you on alts on this post, just open your eyes man please.
Ps: are you really paying for all these accounts?
You are either crab/ape or his wintrader friend.
-You appear on the ladder exactly the same time he does,
- you are 2350 smth rating despite being bad ,
-you whisper same stuff to me as he does.
-You also post on this topic EXACTLY at the moment i deliver him to the bottom of the ladder.
Its not a mere coincidence.
I wont provide you the screenshot you want, because i dont owe anything to wintraders.
One more question:
If you are a legit player why dont you just play on your 2350 rating char and seize the r1 spot yourself?
Hello, I read this post the other day and almost replied… but now I have seen Arbuzno comment on it and my name has been mentioned I feel I have to comment now.
First off I want to get this straight, this is my first season playing prot pala in shuffle, I am rogue main (have been since wod) but also play hpala with friends. The reason I continued to play prot is because at start of the season I was getting instant ques and 6-0 people as it was so easy, seeing how easy this actually was I continued to que prot… prot games are a complete meme and pressing the right cds at right time make it easy wins. I must say it isn’t a fun experience for anyone else and I get that and around 70% of my lobbies I get abuse or accused of being a wintrader… The funny thing is I have played you arbuzno many times on your alt accounts and wiped the floor with them each time, probably cause they are kitted out in green gear ect but weirdly enough I have only faced your main about 2 or 3 times and yes my last match you scraped a 4-2 against me and you seem keen to post that haha, you haven’t posted when I 5-1 you about 4 weeks ago? This will be my last season playing prot as i was only going to do it to push r1 but seeing how much time and effort you put into cheating I ain’t that bothered as I know I got 0 chance with you and your 6 accounts, it’s not that deep a prot r1 title and players know this… but obviously to you it means a lot.
I hid from check pvp cause I started to get messages from 2 players asking me when im queing ect so I just blocked them and hid, but I am quite happy to unhide my account now after seeing this post and everyone can see I am perfectly legitimate, have been a wow player for many years with multiple 2.4 and a few glad titles along the way. My achi score is almost 30,000, I have many alts and no record of playing prot in previous seasons - like I said this is my first.
As for the player quarts, I have no idea who this is but I can confirm this is NOT me , at first I thought it was you arbuzno but it’s not a human female so semi clears you, and as for you magic mike I am unsure we have ever played, but you accusing me of wintrading is not on at all, and because it’s not the first time I had this I make sure to record all my prot games and I have done this since being 2.2/3 so I have the receipts/evidence fyi.
Seen as your keen to post your 1 victory against me arbuzno and you say you don’t owe anything to “win traders” which is fine but what about the rest of the community why don’t you post who you faced or who you faced on puzzie? Is it because you keep beating the green geared pala with 1k achi score, who also happens to be a human female playing adaption trinket… you think you are smart by playing multiple accounts on different realms but you abit silly making the same race, same talents, same gear ect (adapt trink gives it away) at least make different races… come on haha.
Anyways I just wanted to comment on this as my name has been slandered here and I am keeping this as further evidence to protect myself 
this will also be the last time I am commenting on this as to be honest I don’t want to get into a argument about something so irrelevant and feed the “emperor”s ego any more, as in your mind you tell yourself you are the best pala in the galaxy as you have stated on a previous forum which is beyond cringeworthy btw.
My only advice to you arbuzno is that being prot 1 isn’t thought of anything, and by you spending this money on wow clients and subs is kind of sad, and that you are putting this much effort into it for a brag of a irrelevant title on a third party website (check pvp) is especially pitiful.
I want to close this post by actually apologising to peoples lobby I have made a bad experience by having a prot in there, after the abuse, accusations and all this “drama” I won’t be playing prot again.
I am sure you will get your r1 title arbuzno like it seems you have done since dragonflight, and congrats on that… I guess when you can’t play holy or ret (with your negative win rates), this is the only answer haha.
Peace
Wintraders / cheaters arguing , having turf war who is more of a cheater :d
Sad times…
You are seriously twisted.
I am openly blaming crab/quarts ape or whoever it is as much as you, I never queued the guy and yet he is on top of the ladder that’s why I know he is 100% wintrading. You guys have a beef ongoing for several seasons, IDGAF about it until it affected my experience.
Funny that you mentionned I whispered you because I have absolutely never whisped this character, however I did whisp some fully green pala leaving games after 2 defeats asking them to stop doing that LOL.
I would LOVE playing against your main pala, prob is when we do you then disconnect and connect a pala 200 mmr less and so on, why would I risk lowering my mmr by 100 points after a 3-3 or even a 4-2?
You have 10 characters and you are manipulating mmr so no one can grind, cut the crap.
Of course you would never show these screenshots… How funny.
Btw, Crab just 6-0 a random prot pal coming frow nowhere, it’s your time Arbuzno to do the same and 6-0 one of your alts! And let me guess, it will be guess against puzzie, rank 4 or rank 7 right? Hop hop chop chop you have work to do to reclaim rank 1!
Dude, show any proof where i “disconnect and connect a pala 200 mmr less and so on”. My main pala is online every evening at high mmr and not once you queud into him, i beat you several times on alts but never you had balls to q your main.
u wintraded urself every season its known lol
