Q:
How do we report match manipulation?
There aren’t any competitive matches (only manpower-imbalance, coverage-domination, karma-trains, PvD-races, achievement-farming, …), so there is nothing you can manipulate, consequently there is nothing you can report and nothing for ANet to do.
WvW-Scoring has nothing to do with winning, it’s only purpose is to give you a more adequate opponent next week.
- you got a lot score: increase your probabilities to get a stronger opponent next week
- you did not got much score: increase your probabilities to get a weaker opponent next week
That’s it. Manipulation in your sense is nothing than the expressed will to get harder (bigger blobs, better coverage) opponents next week, so if they want that, give them that.

What is match fixing?
Spying, multiple accounts, siege trolling?
Can we please have an concrete set of what match fixing is considered?
Exactly what t-1 been doing for about a year now with push weeks and with multiple accounts

Last swiss-tournament is just 8 month ago (clearly less than a year), it clearly confirmed that NA-T1 had to be separated from NA-T2. I would love if we would have that in EU too, but here we don’t have 3 overstacked server to be locked away, just 1 overstacked one, such that week for week 2 have the bad luck to play against it.

rofl push week isn’t match manipulation that is even more stupid than the win trading QQ
You could consider things like siege trolling as match manipulation but other than once every year when they suspend 2 entire people for doing it there is nothing you can do about match manipulation. Even if a server ends up “winning” when they shouldn’t all it would do is put them up against servers that a much bigger and then proceed to get constantly walked over sending them back to PvE land for the rest of the week until they get sent back down a tier.
In a system where getting the highest score means having the most amount of people playing the most amount of hours, fixing match outcomes is only detrimental to the theirs and the servers around them.

Win trading, push weeks, whatever you want to call it is the very definition of match manipulation. T1 is an oligopoly of three servers that make sure no other server has a chance to sniff T1. Whether it’s through win trading or buying up the resources of lower servers(ie guilds) they have an iron grip on T1.
It honestly doesn’t impact me in the least, and I really don’t care to go back to T1, but it is match fixing.
