It has long been a dream of mine to have an Arena team achieve as low a rating as possible by intentionally losing every game against every opponent we come up against.

Is doing this against the spirit of the game, and in violation of the Win Trading policy? I don't want to cause problems or get into trouble by intentionally losing every game we go into in the Arena.


Please note: we are not queuing up against and only losing to a select group of teams, we are losing against whoever we go up against regardless.

I certainly don't endorse this practice the Arena as well as the battlegrounds are there to pit ones skill and the skill of your team mates against another team. Purposefully failing goes against the spirit of what they are intended for.

Ah, here's clarification -- while it's OK to lose repeatedly in arenas, it is NOT OKAY to AFK or to not actually participate in your losses.

I would advise against it, Tjourney, although non-participation mostly is applied to the Battlegrounds it may also serve to cover arena matches. If you wish to lose at the games you are playing you'll have to do it the old fashion way and be worse than your opponents.

There it is. Nail in coffin.
