Possable New Personal Rating Exploit?!?

[oMek]

ok, we all know they patched the personal rating exploit so it requires a team rating of 1850 also for s3 weapons but.... i had a idea. it does require 2x 70s.

1) Buy a spot on a 1850+ team with the toon you want to buy the item with (as a spot filler, you will not play any games with them, should make it easer to get a spot.)
2) Make a 2v2 or 3v3 and add both of your lvl 70s on it.
3) Get PUGers to join... play with your alt 70 and dont play to win. bust your ratein down low as you can.
4) Get togher with the "good" players on your team and play to win. since you havent played all week and your personal should be 1500+ and the teams will be lower.. u should get easy games, easy wins, high personal!
5) Rinse and repeat. bust the ratein down on your alt... bring it back up on your main
6) Once you get your personal to 1850, go buy your weapons!

Im not sure if this will work since your personal 1850 is not on the same team as your 1850 (spot filler)

sorry if this has been tryed before. just came to me as i was thinking of a way to get my s3 weapons

Also, a big problem with this is when you lose a game with a high personal rating, and a low team rating. The further these 2 numbers are apart, the more personal rating you'll be losing each loss. So if you face a good team that's starting out, or someone else that's also doing this, you could be screwed.

yea. repost

VERY common sence, repost and unusable.

Here's why it's unusable: Blizzard fixed this at the start of season 3. They have a formula (I dont know it) that do if fx your team is on 1000, and your personal rating is 1500 and u win, u will actually loose personal rating. At the start of S3 this was doable (Yes i can confirm, did it on my rogue) but very short after release they changed it (As mentioned).

Yep, I think they fixed it in the 2.3.3

Ah, I had no clue they changed it to where you can actually lose rating from a win. But I did know there were huge diminishing returns. So I mean, It's kind-of not worth it, you'd have to get somewhere around 1770 team rating to also have a 1850 personal rating it seems.

2.3.3 is the one that came out today

ooo alright, didnt know they made it so you dont gain personal if the team your on is lower than you. i just thought they changed it so items required personal/team of 1850+ sorry for the repost.

[ypoptos]

it is fixed since 2.3.2. players need same personal rating and team rating. for example to buy the s3 weapons you need 1850+ personal and team rating.
