avoid losing rating in arenas.

[groshank]

So i found something today. if you force a disconnect in a losing arena before you've lost and you sit out for 2 mins you don't lose rating so if you are pushing rating and start losing just force a dc and you won't lose rating.

DC macro: /run for v=1,500 do for i = 1,GetNumFactions() do SetWatchedFactionIndex(i) end end

idk i just wanted to share it. shoot it down if you'd like

Thanks. You have to do it before the scoreboard comes up right?

[gippy]

Anyone tested this?

[priesta]

Didn't work for me

Just so you guys know, he's trolling. The only time you wouldn't lose rating in an arena is:
A) The other team is much above your rating/your CR is low
B) The server crashes

He probably posted it here to attempt to have random people disconnect mid-game for an easy win.

It's a troll indeed..pretty obvious one

[groshank]

no, i forced a dc mid game on myself and sat there for 5 mins until it was way over then logged on. no rating was lost. i haven't investigated any further than that, i don't know if the rating not being lost was a product of something other than the dc. but i do know that when i did it i lost no rating, i may or may not test this later but probably not for you guys since you seem to want to call me a troll for sharing something. also to Epicrisis, if they were doing it in a LOSING game who cares? they were going to lose anyway.

Sounds like this is the reason to me:

A) The other team is much above your rating/your CR is low
