not only does result in the individual getting a grossly inflated rank, it also artificially inflates the rank of anyone who plays a game against this person, due to them scoring huge points off their MMR end result is that if this ever becomes a true epidemic, like it did in halo, master league will suddenly become meaningless may a swift hammer crack the skulls of all professionals who do this shit | ||

1) Who cares about the EULA? I mean, really? 2) This no more hurts players than pros having 5 GM accounts hurts players. 3) Guilty by association? Lol. 4) Not really a problem with account levelling itself. 5) Baseless speculation | ||

Halo Reach uses a hidden MMR system with no real ranks but its arena is closest to the blizzard ranking system (it also is terrible) but the way your post talks about it it seems like you are referring to the 2-3 matchmaking system which for those who dont know is a rank 1-50 style system where if you lose you go down and if you win you go up which as a whole was the best MM system ive ever played on a game. The problem with having a cool reward at the top is that people will do whatever it takes to get it (including hacking) but preventing that is the job of the game company. The beauty of Halo's system (specifically 2) and to a lesser extent SC2's matchmaking system is that you have a clear goal. Halo's system was simpler in setting a goal (its a lot easier to try to gain 5 levels than go up a league) but the ability to have that goal keeps you playing and aiming for it and if anythign is the reason there are so many leagues and I wouldnt be surprised if there were more in HotS. | ||

But still, I don't see how you can argue that it's beneficial to allow it to continue. The most you can say is that it doesn't matter. Not everyone agrees though. I bet most people who got account leveled up to GM will only hold for 1,2 seasons at max. So if you "GM spot" "accidentally" got kicked out because of that dude, you will be able to get it back in 3 month season anyway. If a player forever can't reach that GM spot, then I don't think he's categorized as upcoming player.... 200 spots in GM fluctuates too much every seasons, you see new names popped up every time. The only way you can be recognized in GM is to hold GM spot for a long period of time. | ||

Also, the people that claim it prevents up and coming players from being noticed is hogwash. Pros already have multiple accounts in GM. If anything, this provides a little extra cash for Pros. Professional SC2 players do not make much money. Let them make a little extra change because they are giving up their careers to be a pro gamer. | ||

People will pay for a rank they didnt earn despite the fact that they know they wont keep it. The people who buy these are either convinced that they really are that good they just cant break thru the "lowbie wall" or they just want it so they can say they have it which is sort of a waste of money to me but who was I to judge. | ||

"lowbie wall"? i would understand that if this was League of Legends or any other 5v5 game where you get matched with randoms and cant do much alone, but in sc2? LMAO do people like that realy exist | ||

Just abusing 1 game = 1 year ban. TL ladder abuse bans were for a tournament qualifier ladder. That said, anyone trying to use a rank they didn't earn as a credential deserves to get called out. | ||

Well I'd say Rainbow's stream comment is a pretty solid proof. Though I don't think it's that bad. Probably against rule but not hurting anyone really. | ||

I am more refering to that he is calling out Naama in the first half of his thread, without any solid proof. | ||
