@kennymcc Fooling the server doesn’t work for the most part as it knows your max power and thus when you equip weak gear to purposefully reduce your stats, if doesn’t work. While upgrading Red’s offhand may have had a part to play but even though you don’t equip powerful gear for arena, when you are equipping them for enchanting, that data is also sent to the server. So it picks teams which are weaker but still picks them knowing you have strong weapons. (Even Magdalena acknowledged that they know the exploit). She said it picks the team according to your power range (with other factors). Your range is more than 495 in this case. So the server won’t pick <900 power teams for you as that is way below your range.
