It can't be half and half. But we can't know if Blizzard doesn't release the evidence. Well, what are you supposed to do? If your opponent intends to give you a win and you don't want that, it's not like you can reject the ladder points when he leaves the game. So either you get punished along with the other guy, even though you wanted to play a fair game, or neither of you get punished even though one was clearly doing something that's not acceptable. If you can prove that one wanted to give the wins away but can't prove the recipients wanted the free points, what do you do? Only punish the one where you can prove the guilt because you don't want to unfairly punish someone who couldn't "defend themselves" in this situation; or punish everyone involved but risk wronging the vast majority of of suspects?

If people are leaving games vs you and talking about Win Trading, then contact someone from Blizzard saying you were in no way part of it, mention it on BattleNet to the player, etc. It seems Blizzard can see it all and make judgement calls based on that. | ||

I was just stating that Blizzard needs to go after both the bank robber and the guy who drove the get-away car. Not just the guy who drove the get-away car. The person that benefitted from Major's supposed actions is going unpunished and that is wrong if there is evidence of wrongdoing. So again, either Major was win trading and then everyone involved needs to be punished, or Major wasn't and then no one gets punished. It can't be half and half. But we can't know if Blizzard doesn't release the evidence. If you read the press release, Major was forfeiting games but they couldn't prove that it was pre-arranged. If you look at the other thread, Major was leaving games on NA ladder but not EU (where he's competing for WCS). It seems like Major was just 'being nice' to people he liked and gifting them wins. Nothing had to be arranged because losing points didn't cost him anything since he wasn't competing on NA. The only instance of pre-arranged win-trading Blizz could prove was on the EU barcode account him and Marinelord share, and they did out his opponent in that case (btw, in the other thread Major claims he hasn't used that barcode account during the ladder competition, but somehow worried it got him banned lol). | ||

"the EU barcode account him and Marinelord share"= not a barcode its (was) major's account mencemeat "in the other thread Major claims he hasn't used that barcode account during the ladder competition" = thats MLords barcode he hasn't played in months(?). You are talking about 2 different accounts. Also i don't know what u talkin about in the first paragraph but w/e. | ||

You are talking about 2 different accounts. Also i don't know what u talkin about in the first paragraph but w/e. I'm not talking about 2 different accounts. Major did, but letting Marinelord play on mencemeat is not what's at issue here. Major claimed he only played the barcode account 'outside the ladder competition'. However, Blizzard says Major not only played on it during this last competition, but he threw games while playing on it. No one but Major brings up Mencemeat, because it doesn't matter in terms of why they got banned. As for the first paragraph I'm just explaining what this all looks like to me. What we know / Blizzard claims: Major normally competes on the EU ladders. Was caught forfeiting games on NA. They can't confirm if he's win-trading or just throwing games. What I'm speculating: Since he competes on EU, he doesn't care about loses on NA, so he either randomly left games he didn't feel like playing or to 'gift points' to friends of his. Either way he's throwing games without win-trading, which was an option Bronzeknee didn't think was possible (and why I responded in the first place). | ||
