Suggest to expand PVP seasonal ranking reward

[mxdzzz]

It has been the14th season since we opened the seasonal ranking reward. I have been monitored the last month of each seasons, found out that it was actually some win-trade behind some teams. I personally dont think we can stop these hidden win trades, since they do hidden so nice and no one can say "it's win trade". Thus, I rather to suggest to expand the PVP seasonal ranking reward in each season. ex. #1-3 for Golden crown, #4-6 for Silver crown, #7-10 for Copper crown.

I don't see how this does anything other than open it up to even more potential collusion; as well as making the prizes less special overall.

If you suspect cheating, please make a detailed report so that it can be properly investigated.

Yes, Imo is to make the prize to lesss special, It may bring potential collusion btw few big teams but honesly will attract more small team to compete to larger teams. And between big teams members they may not have common sense for the collusions. 

 

And yes, I am not cheating hunters, couldn't able to record that much videos, especially for stall team matches. But GM can always check the background data for the abnormal match raise between members under same team (or no team bc Alt account) on last week (or last two week) of the season.

 

Also, I would suggest to show team name on the  Spectate board, which would easiler to let others to catch the cheating.

In-game staffs can easily double check logs and found any evidence. Problem is when all the chatting that set the wintrading, happens outside of game, via discord messages or calls. Also, wintraders can disguise easily the trade by taking a bit longer to make the transaction beetween both, or doing it as a disguise of a selling, and flee away without getting caught

No this is a terrible idea. If you want a reward, work for it.
However, they need to rework rewards and give something else to the rest of say top10-20, as currently there's no incentive in playing PVP in Pokemmo anymore (other than aiming for top3 which is not realistic for most of the playerbase)

Everyone knows work hard on it, but when you facing a wintrader who jump 40+ELO in only a week and easily take you position, what you thought? And beside that, you saw but do not have time to record the evidence for the win trade, work harder? ggs Imo.

Right, but the solution is to take a harder stance on those win trading, not invalidating the prestige of the prize.
