I think there must be a lot of confusion on here how point selling works...You are not meeting point selling teams in any bracket. People win trade those teams to sell points, effectively taking those high rated teams OUT of competition. (further screwing up the ladder system)

The leet full s3 teams you meet now are merely taking a new team to 2k to sell off to yet another win trading team.

Permanent personal rating with no repercussions will not fix anything, in fact with the changes going in it would probably just break everything further. Get a 2k rated team, change to a 1500 rated team, tank personal rating to the dumper, go back to the 2k rated team and proceed to get low ranked teams due to low average personal rating. Team rating goes up (if slowly)

Putting rating requirements on all items is possibly the worst idea I've ever seen. It is very true that doing this will either force ALL scrub players to rating buy or they'll simply leave the system, INCLUDING the battlegrounds now.

What Blizzard REALLY needs to do is get off their lazy asses and put a simple script on their arena armory. Win trading teams are stupidly easy to spot. Gee, they played only 10 games this week, won 5 and lost 5, and 8 of the players have about 1550 rating. HMMMMMM, I WONDER WHATS GOING ON HERE.

Ban the win trading teams, open those spots back up for competition and MOST of the problem is solved.
