Quote Hey everyone,



Shortly after the start of Season One we discovered an abuse of game mechanics that some players were using to quickly raise their ratings. I wanted to make a post today to explain a bit about what is happening, and when.



First and foremost, we have a fix for this but unfortunately it will not be going live until our maintenance next Tuesday. You should expect that on Tuesday we will have a maintenance and a small patch to download to fix the issue.



About the players who have abused this or who abuse it between now and Tuesday, their accounts are being suspended and their ratings are being reset. We are taking our Arena Seasons very seriously, anyone who is caught abusing game mechanics in order to adjust their rating in any way will be actioned appropriately.



If in the future you see any actions which you believe to be an exploit or an abuse of game mechanics, please let us know. You can do this by either PMing myself or one of the other Community team members. Alternately you can alert Customer Support.



For all of you forum-goers, remember that any discussion of exploits, especially explaining how the exploit works is a very severe violation of the forum rules and will be actioned. This can include receiving an infraction without warning so please do not discuss any exploits in your posts // threads.



Thank you all for your time. We will continue to make sure Arenas are a fair play environment where cheating is not tolerated.
