Reputation: 84 | | | Stop Win Trading. Blizzard has started to crack down hard on high rated win traders.
People who are win trading and point selling should stop what you're doing because blizzard will remove all your season three gear, arena points and a 3 day ban.
Even if it looks like you might be win trading, or are involved with anyone who is, Blizzard is cracking down hard on this. | Donate to remove ads, get your "DONATOR title, and get access to the MMOwned community's elite Shoutbawx.

Because of this, it is highly recommended that you just don't buy arena points, and you definitely should not win trade, ever. Blizzard will track you both actively and by reports.
Just don't win trade. |

Your friend got lucky with only shoulders being taken, lots of people had their entire set removed.
Win trading is where one team sets up another similarly rated team to play against, they then organize who wins and trade back and forth to boost their personal ratings. |

Basically, do not purposely lose to a team or ask a team to purposely lose to you. That is win trading, and it ruins the arena system completely. |
