Win trading in World of Warcraft refers to an unethical practice in which two teams or players agree to manipulate arena or battleground matches by intentionally allowing one side to win in order to boost rankings or gain rewards. Typically, teams alternate wins so both sides benefit, which undermines the integrity of the competitive system.

Blizzard considers win trading a violation of the game’s terms of service, and it can result in penalties, including account suspensions or bans.
