Win Trading pvp

Some people are doing very obvious win trading at the moment. In the video you can see some players without equipment afk standing there and one kills them all for honor.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWWRWDN5bcM]

Is Blizzard doing anything against this? The Players are not banned yet.

And what is your opinion to this topic ?

The honor gain has to be incredibly low

Not necessarily, as you can see there’s a lot of people there, different toons, different accounts supposedly. Some being paid services, no doubt, some being players part of a win-trade host (as the name suggests, you trade, the more participants the more honor for all involved).

This kind of behaviour whilst unavoidable should at least be deterred via punishment. But seeing as Classic has absolutely no boots on the ground GMs to my knowledge (?) who will ever ban these?

And I speak as someone who did safespot griefing in BB, Gadgetzan and Everlook until the day I could no more when it was nerfed via a hotfix applied to the guards ranges, a few days before P2.

This is the kind of aids that spread in private servers. It’s a HUGE boost to one’s overall honor, I really hope Blizzard punish it as hard as it should be. If this begins to spread it’s gonna be a pure charade.

Please give this thread and any similiar one enough attention.

they should bann this really !
same with cross faction colluding on firemaw there is 2 guilds (progress A) and (newgen H) doing sort of the same, and working together as allaince and horde guild.
but i cannot make an allaince character because it would break the game being a horde?

blizzard is doing NOTHING. world of warcraft is DEAD soon !

Knowing how most people got their top ranks in the past, it’s not really going against the spirit of Classic. Maybe against the spirit of a good and fair game, but hey, we are here to experience and uphold #NoChanges, not an actually (ok, maybe)good and (definitely not)fair game.

I have a several videos of guilds doing honor trading in realm Gehennas-EU in this realm is HUGE, but a GM ensured me that there is an investigation over all win(honor) trades and they are prepering a banwave as asoon as possible. so hope we are witness to that banwave as soon as possible.

Diminishing returns means HK trading in classic is next to useless.

Diminishing returns would make it next to useless, if only two people are making the agreement. The thing you’re forgetting is that, like on my server, two guilds can make this agreement and it makes it ridiculously easy:
ANY member of either guild joins the designated discord server and when they meet a person of the opposing guild they haven’t killed more than 5 times that week they both hop into a channel, go to the meetup spot and kill eachother five times.

This adds up really quick and we got atm members of a single guild walking around with 70k honor after five days with hardly ever seeing them on the battlefield. The gap between these players and the others is absolutely mental.

So it does work, regardless of diminishing returns.

On my server the alliance are using horde characters/accounts to track and avoid the movement of horde raids, is a small population server so they only fight when they outnumber hordes and back out when they see others joining the area, they also use the horde accounts to track certain players in any zone they jump to and follow them for a farming session, and late at night they only go gank lower levels 48+ in ungoro and similar zones and where ever there are no 60s to contest the area. Cool PvP system, kudos to who decided having accounts for both factions is good idea for pvp servers.

This thread needs more attention.

This is part of a reason i stopped PvP :slight_smile: . Blizzard doesn’t care about wintrading on Retail since lot of time, and it’s exactly the same on Classic : they don’t care, they fired everyone, they don’t do items swap service when you choose the wrong items, they don’t inspect logs for wintrading PvP honor, they don’t do anything. It’s not like Vanilla when Game Master was plenty in the game to inspect stuff like that and ban / remove honor and stuff of wintrader. Now, you can wintrade in arena on Retail, you can wintrade on Classic, bot on Qia in Wintersprings to buy Runecloth bags pattern, bot to fish in Retail, you can report them, that doesn’t matter, it’s a zero effect.

They just don’t care. Sub-human behavior is now accepted for economic reason, so game master can spam reply into ticket system and don’t do long task, and i’m 100% sure lot of them feel really bad to have to do that instead of doing real work.

The people doing that received bans.

I’m really sick of people cheating everywhere in order to be top dog . Ruins the game for the rest of us.

I’d use the ban hammer hard so they learn their lesson.
