Since that thread hit 500 posts in less then 12 hours I thought I'd repost to continue the discussion. Thanks to Autoattack from Bloodscalp for the original post.

Click that link and be prepared to projectile vomit.

Darky, an Elemental Shaman with 84 resilience and 603 spell damage, has gone 20-0 over the last two weeks on a 2627 rated 2vs2 team (Saranno Famosi, the #2 rated 2vs2 team in all of WoW according to arenajunkies). His personal rating is up to 2055 as well.

Apparently you can win trade an Arena team up to #2 in the ENTIRE FREAKING WORLD, and gear out a Shaman alt in full Vengeful including weapon and shoulders, without even playing in a match against actual competition and Blizzard doesn't bat an eye in disapproval.

How times have changed. Back in the day when the first few guilds were raiding Molten Core, some guild found an exploit in which a rogue could stealth forward to a boss, aggro it, and then accept a warlock summon back to the entrance. The boss would then go all the way to the entrance without training any mobs with it for an easy kill without any clearing.

Unfortunately some GMs were observing and took away all the loot and handed out suspensions and bans, and in the next patch they fixed the exploit. This is back when cheating/exploiting wasn't condoned. Now it has become apparent that if you're not cheating in arena, you're not trying.

Moral of the story - Cheat or get left behind.

EDIT: Here is a link to their 2s team:

Apparently there are two of them now. Both 20-0 on a 2627 2vs2 team, both with 2055 personal rating....in greens and blues. ONE gem and ZERO enchants between the two of them. This is disgusting.

Please /bump /rebump and /triplebump this thread if you hate Arena cheating.

Q u o t e:
Do not bump posts. The act of bumping ones post is considered spamming and contributes nothing constructive to the discussion. Your thread will be seen; there is no need to continually bump it to the top of the list.

Q u o t e:
Petition posts are frowned on. This is a discussion forum. Petition threads do not contain much discussion instead, a petition is usually page after page of /signed. This is not constructive. If you have an issue with the game, please discuss it in a civil fashion. There are other places on the Internet to form online petitions.

Feel free to discuss any issues you want as long as they fall within the guidelines of acceptable topics (this one does), but threads encouraging petition "me too" or "bump" type replies aren't tolerated. Make your own discussion on the topic asking specific questions or input, it doesn't have to encourage spamming.
