Win-Trading Exploit: Blizzard Bites Back with Bans and Resets!

I have mixed feelings on this issue.  Obviously I hope the cheaters burn in hell, but these bans I don’t think improve the quality of life for honest teams.  In fact, if the que times are already so long that win trading can be profitable, this will make those ques even longer.

Ok really, while I agree glitches should not be in the game, Blizzard and all the other online game companies shouldn’t be banning or suspending for bugs or unintended play of the game. Either they should test more thoroughly, or should just fix them accordingly and timely based on how much trouble they’re causing (Preferably both, get some people from Titan back to WoW for Quality Assurance or something).

It’s just a game, and as customers, we are supposed play it how we want, not help maintain it if we don’t want to; that’s the companies’ job. Who wants to be told how to play a video game? You can glitch all you want in single player games and play them however you want, even LAN games to an extent (you’ll have to deal with whoever you’re playing with if they don’t like it, though). It adds more to the game without actually altering it such as difficulty or a shortcut to do things faster/easier (Speed runs anyone? Glitches are even expected in them!). Why not online games too? You won’t have to deal with people as much like in LAN games lol. But seriously, it’s usually only a problem if a player reports it. People need to learn to deal with different play styles. As long as you aren’t hacking (in less the game is only single player), it’s literally fair game; it only requires knowledge and skill to use, just like anything else in the game, and no unauthorized software is being used.

If someone wants to trade wins, let them! You don’t have to participate if you don’t want to! Organize 2 teams to fight their best against each other instead, or just leave or put up with the win traders if you somehow wind up in one of their games. Put up with or ignore what other people do if you don’t like it, because you should be able to do what you want too!
