Well since this on the MMO-C forums, perhapps a more relative visual is needed.
In WoW arena fights, should the 2k+ ranked team that gets saddled against newly formed arena team, play at a lesser pace to acomidate the difference in rank and assume the other players are crap?
Though I will say at some point, they should have just called the game. If it was so apparent that the other team was not gunna b able to do anything, the coah of the loseing team should have just saved her players the embarassment of an ass kicking and just tossed in the towel.
