My firend doesn't have account here but he would like to share his finding:
I've noticed a strange thing today. Looking at player Wiktor.199 (EU) match history I noticed that for about 5 hours (or even more) player played only vs one specific another player PoC (dont know id), and they got very fast much number of winning games and got random 1000 achi. It isn't possible to get a only one specific oponnet for hours! i've scanned for the match history and found 2 another players: BeeHive, Nerxedion. I will continue searching match history to find if there are some other players using this bug/exploit.
What you think? How do this players get matched only with each other for so long?

hacks maybe. ethier way its cheating and should be reported
|
really, who gives a crap about people abusing the ladder.
It's way worse when you play vs someone that is cheating.... (maphack or something like that)
if players want to have a high rating just for the kicks, let them have their fun, it doesnt affect you anyway.
So ignore them please.
Hacks, that have an impact on your games, that are the ones you should post about
|
Are you certain they played ladder, and not custom games?
If so, they were cheating and will have to be punished. *readies his cheater whacking stick*
|
I'm that player who had found this exploit, just registered while ago and i couldn't post a topic friend did that for me.
They were playing ladder games, for custom games there are no achivments for quick combat like this 1000 random
|
who cares?
seriously. who cares if people use hacks to increase a number on a data server somewhere? they could just as well shit all over their living room carpet with a big banana grin on their face.
|
Like others have said, who cares about your ladder rank? it's all about tournaments. Personnally I don't mind players who cheat and exploit the game as long as I don't see them play in a tournament.

It wouldn't matter at all, it's just ladder after all. Problem is Blizzard thinks ladder means something, as they're inviting people to Blizzcon based on it.

I remember a thread offering $2k to the first person to get 1k wins with t,p,z, and r. If this is abused for that, then it is of concern. That would be bs if someones (can't remember the poster) kind offer is taken advantage of in such a way. I have to find that thread and warn the op.

He currently has 0 points in the copper league, so it doesn't seem like a big deal for me. If he were like 3000 in diamond then yea that'd be a big deal.
His accomplice is poc.176, who currently has 3 points in copper league. Basically their mmr is so low that's why they keep getting matched against each other.

abusing ladder is still cheating you know? even tho bronze or diamond
|
Ya, this mean nothing for pr0 players and global fun of game, but this is still a exploit anyway. And blizzard should be aware that somekind shit of making fast achivments exsit.
I've found another person just a while ago.
|
The only effects I could think of would be rankings like the "Blizzard Top 200", and other such things.
The only negative impact besides vanity listings would be for things that are based off of ladder rankings/points, like certain tournaments, or the invitations to Blizzcon.
|
You guys do realise that the kind of guy who abuse ladder is the same kind of player who will use maphack?
Ban the fuck out of 'em
|
When Blizzard is doing things like inviting people to Blizzcon due to ladder rankings and presumably using them to run their tourneys in the future, exploiting the ladder IS a big deal.

That wouldn't be possible with this exploit as they have almost 0 points in the copper league.

You can't mess up rankings if you are intentionally losing games so that you are 0 rated in bronze.
|
So basically they lost hundreds of games until their ladder ranking was far, far below anyone else's, and then win traded with each other for 5 hours until both had 1000 random wins?
Seems pretty harmless to me, since they're still at the bottom of the ladder and aren't getting invited to blizzcon anytime soon.

This
After seeing Wiktors achievements, I assume he is just an achievement whore and he would like to get all the achievement, and get it as fast as possible. If he foud a hole in ladder system that allows him to get games with his friend and Win trade at the last place in bronze league, good for him...

Except the challenge already has a requirement to provide all the replays and an arbitrary requirement for a majority of games being "standard". This wouldn't meet the conditions of that thread to begin with.
