Pottu, about the unpopular opinion thread.

Don't you guys have instant or near-instant queues on alliance? Just fight em for the bracket slots. When I was pushing for R14 I made sure nobody was ahead of me for the entire week at any point.
Let people waste their money buying into their shitmade.

Sure you could do that and suffer throughout your whole ranking with 1.7million caps (if they aren't wintrading and only account sharing)

But wouldn't it be ignoring that there's people exploiting and making IRL profit from nostalrius?

[Healthycoww]

Yeah I remember the 1 million cap AV weekends. Just a question of who wants it bad enough at that point.

Personally I would reset someones rank points to 0 and have them start the process anew if they were caught win trading, but it really is just the queue systems fault. Having premades pop games for eachother is just ridiculous and predictable enough to allow this behavior in the first place

Even so I've played against this group of players and they are terrible if you can get even a couple competent players you really shouldn't have trouble staying ahead of them honor-per-hour wise. Just a matter of hour per hour.

That's the thing. We all know and agree the queue system is the/one of the main problem allowing for such bannable offenses (yet impossible to prove apparently) to happen. It is being pointed out since months and 99% of rankers during this period hated the current queue system (Im pretty sure they don't like it as well) as it's completely not blizzlike and not close at all to what vanilla ranking was. 5 man queue with snipers whole WSG week as a mandatory way of getting honor is far away from the "blizzlike" goal the server had.
So let's try again and again and again by bumping yet another queue systeam thread until it reaches pages cap I guess : http://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=35301

It is not even about honor per hour anymore (it would be the case a bit more with a blizzlike queue system and no multiqueue I guess). It has become a matter of who is able to play more than 20h 7/7days by any means at this point.
So if you actually have a lyfe u gotta pull out a Jarek and spend half a year on it

Thank you Pottu & Nost staff for finally taking measures against the account sharers.

Hopefully this is only the beginning and more are to come.
