Pet Battle Win Trading

[sinjinn]

Anyone figured out how this works yet? Sometimes I can queue up against my 2nd separate battlenet account, other times it just sits in queue forever. how do you get it to work consistently?

[sinjinn]

There's got to be some kind of rhyme or reason to it

[sinjinn]

Anyone had any luck figuring this out yet? Have tried to test the "Tied to first realm" theory by asking people on that realm to queue up but didn't get them. How the hell do these pet battlegroups work?

What I do is following:

1) have 2 accounts
2) have follwing pets on account A and B:
lvl 25
lvl 10
lvl 1
3) que up
4) you should now be able to wintrade

[sinjinn]

Doesn't work for me Asdfx. I have two accounts, completely separate battle net accounts, one belongs to me the other my wife. I put pets in our respective teams that should make us queue against each other like 25/10/1 or 25/25/1 etc but it just sits in queue forever and will not pop.

Same here. Already tried with about 30 different accounts (almost everyone in the guild) and nada.

[sinjinn]

Still looking for anyone that's figured this out.

Trying to work this out myself, I've tried about ~12 account all up against my main but nothing will work. I have been able to wintrade on a second account, although that's quite useless because I need the wins on my main, it just shows that wintrading is still possible. I'm on US and would love to test some stuff with anyone else that's interested

[sinjinn]

Not sure what you'd like to test Flows but if you hit me up maybe I can help, I'm Oceanic though. So far I've only found one person in my guild who I'm able to queue against, the rest that I've tried with have been in different pet battlegroups. What I find most annoying is that I used to be able to win trade with my wifes account and then it just up and stopped working.

Same thing happened to me, i traded with a friends account 1000s of times, then suddenly i couldn't queue into her anymore. I honestly just believe its random wether your account gets matched, i've tested different realms/languages/factions and never got matched with some accounts, so the battlegroup theory that was going round is wrong, yet tried the same with another and got instantly matched no matter where i made a character.

Battle pet achieve points make no difference either, mine is almost maxed points and i've traded with accounts that have only just learnt to battle.

I can't say for sure if this is what is happening, but I believe players are matched via datacenter and time zone. It seems to be the case with CRZ and LFG, MOST of the time. Here is the information I found correlating this belief.

Occasionally, I found that this is not the case, however, because people may invite other players from other realms via bnet or direct player-name-realm requests.

I have tried queuing into many people from the same realm as me and it hasn't worked. I've tried a lot of stuff (deleting friends from realid, leaving guild, inviting to group, logging onto alts on different servers) and it still appears completely random to me. Like others said, I had an account I wintraded with for a very long time (about 6 months) which had characters on my realm, and suddenly after maintenance once my battle pet slots were empty and I couldn't queue into myself anymore. After that happened I tried with about 10 friends, most of which are guildies - none worked, bought 2 more battlechests which didn't work either. So it seems I'm either extremely unlucky with the battlegroups or there's some pattern which I'm not aware of.

Need more people to test with!

Same problem with me. Had another account to wintrade and sudenly I can't wintrade anymore with that account and I tried with around 10 friends from my same realm and nothing. I still have friends who can wintrade with eachother but not me. Weird isn't it?

Interesting that so many people who are having this issue are all people who wintraded in the past. My friends who have it working right now are all new to it (only been wintrading for a couple of weeks), and so far every battlechest I've bought has worked against my friends accounts but not mine. I'm starting to think blizz patched it by looking at accounts with over a certain number of wins against a single account and either placed them in a separate battegroup or blacklisted an IP range similar to what your accounts are under (the only reason I think this is because all the friends I've tried to queue into are from the same country as me, and I've only queued into Americans through normal 25-25-25 queues).
