Quote:It also looks like you have folks formed another team just to ruin other folks ratings based on some of the 2v2 teams rated above you having only players with losing ratings. They rejoin the higher rated team and them play a few matches at the end of the week, but by forming a new team and completely outgearing folks they can play lower rated teams and pummel them. Blizzard needs to fix this because it really sucks when you are at a 1600 or so rating (which for only having 3 or 4 pieces of PvP gear per person on the team isn't bad) only to run into folks that are lower rated than you but decked out in nearly the full gladiator set who just crush you and who you end up facing 2, sometimes 3 times.) Too bad Blizzard doesn't do something about folks who do stuff like that, it sure feels like griefing to me.Yes, unfortunately this is common practice, and to my dismay I have to admit that I'm doing it too. The reasons being that I want to have at least some points at the end of the week. So teams are shifting members in and out according to the need of the players and not of the team itself.
The only way that could be stopped is that one had to be in the team the whole week in order to earn points for that week.
Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and enthusiasm!
