Red Resign is a form of match manipulation that commonly occurs in Hero Battles on HB Zaishen quest days. It is used to farm Zaishen Keys by repeatedly completing the Zaishen quest and turning it in. Often abbreviated "RR", Red Resign relies on player cooperation.

Red Resign functions by abusing the mechanics of the Hero Battles rating system. Due to the fact that the player with the higher rating in a given rated match enters the match as the Red Team, and that players lose rating on a lost, abandoned, or resigned match and gain rating on any victorious match, players' ratings constantly fluctuate should they leave when they enter as the red team or win when they enter as the blue team.

Red Resign is officially considered cheating by Arena Net. Participation in this form of match manipulation could result in disciplinary action on a participant's account.

Red Resign day was nerfed by removing Hero Battles from the game.
