Coordinating against an enemy is ok, like teamspeak in several games or ingame-chats, but I know no other game where players coordinate attacks against themselves! First of all - it's clearly not cheating. D3 has set up a system where this type of thing works, players figured it out, and so they use (you might say abuse) it to their advantage. Second of all, how would you propose fixing this system? Without a point threshold where you can be seen by anyone you could have certain mini rosters scoring as many points as they want because no one else can queue them to take them down. There has to be this check in the system or else matchmaking would completely break down. Every possible cheat or abuse of game-mechanics was set up by the designers in every other game (because if not it would not exist). Thats not an argument. The system could be fixed by not allowing several attacks against the same target. If a target is attacked, its no more visible for you, you have to look again for it (when its out of the fight) and pls correct me if im wrong this means the shielded cupcake will only attacked by one other player and with shield its not visible for others after the shielding so another search for the cupcake is not possible unless he drops his shield. This mechanic is the end of cupcakes. You don't know how caking works or the pvp system for that matter but you derail the thread into yet another for/against baking. OP didn't ask you for your opinion but yes, lets do what you say and shrink mmr even smaller. That's a great tinykitty idea. You should be a game designer with that level of insight.

Again: He describes a situation in other games where a tank is supported by a healer to fight an enemy and compares it with this situation, but the only common enemy of the cupcake-users is the system. It´s not a fight against someone, its the fight for easy points by abusing this broken system and by revealing himself as a cupcaketarget. My statement is, that is not comparable and this results in my statement, that my interpretation is the only possible. In no other PVP-game I saw people to sacrifice for their ingame-enemies (!) to raise theirs points. In WoW I know there was a report-button for this matter, which resulted in bans for this behavior.

I looked up the definition of cheat... none of them match your interpretation. Cupcakes do not fall under the definition of cheating. Cupcakes do not defraud D3, there are no ill-gotten gains, there is no nefarious intent. A valid 3 member team beats a different 3 member team for genuine points. PVP. The next time you play PVP, and you get seed teams, I expect you to skip them, because by your own definition D3 is giving you cupcakes and if you beat them for points, you are cheating. Skip those cupcakes that D3 has given you... those cheaters!

In WoW I know there was a report-button for this matter, which resulted in bans for this behavior. One of the uses of the report system in MPQ is to report cheaters. So, given the fact that your interpretation is the only one that is possible, simply use the feature to report these bakers as cheaters. D3 could not possibly interpret baking as anything otherwise (given that no other interpretation is possible), and the offenders will be banned. Points will come down. Problem solved. So the question that begs to be asked is... why are you on the forum posting instead of in the game spamming the report button to rid MPQ of these cheaters?
