Yeah, war3 had some really nice smurf accounts, but then again people didn't have to buy a new copy of the game to make a new account either since making a new acct in the old better Bnet 1.0 was free. My only concern is that these barcode players, who knows who's maphacking and who's legit, I'm not saying all or even most may care to cheat. But that level of anonymity, they can get away with it if they wanted to. | ||

I think it's great. I do hope something can eventually be done about maphackers using this trick to avoid being reported. Is that really a big problem in the first place? | ||

Why you're bragging about anyone you have beat on LADDER to start with is a better question. Ladder is for practicing - it doesn't actually tell us who the best is. That's why we have tournaments - they crown a 1st 2nd 3rd place. Ladder is just a method of putting you into a group of similarly skilled players so you don't HAVE to have practice partners. When are people going to figure this out? DesRow may not be the best pro player right now... but he still agrees with me: On May 10 2012 02:56 Linwelin wrote: Maybe he can make a blog and brag about beating some good player? | ||

Greatest fucking line ever lol With massive amount of barcode names, it's harder to compare hotkeys + timings + BOs and such in replay analysis in sc2gears, and actually find out who these barcode players are. It's the flaw of the bnet2.0 system, with the BO history in every replay, every replay downloadable, everyone streaming, etc. This is their JOB. Of course they want their CRAFT to be hidden. It's what gives them their edge. | ||
