You should be ashamed of yourself. Not only that you break blizzard rules -whats a death sin-, its also unfair advantage. Who plays your little brother gets more wins than the guy who have to beat good people for the win. So you are basic cheating! I hope bilizzard bans your cheating 7 year old brother for loosing games! Thats what i have to answer isnt it? if not, sorry, im new to this kind of threads Did did not figure out when to RAGE, when to write FIGHTINGGGGG or when to write "support esports" yet... | ||

The only person duped is the one actually paying money for this kind of service. | ||

Leveling accounts is exactly the same as having more than one account. Probably every progamer has more than one account. Stop hating on people trying to squeeze a buck without slaving for the man... | ||

As long as your MMR is high enough you will be able to match with any GM player even if you're in masters. This is a serious non issue. A real issue is hackers that take up a GM spot and can actually keep their spots. Of course they are going to fall off, but the pros are still doing this as a service. Let's imagine 5 strong GM pros are doing this, and they get 2-3 people per week. That's 10-15 spots in GM taken by people who shouldn't be there, just like hackers. How long does it take to fall off because of inactivity? two weeks? And they can still be active, if they play once a week, they can probably stay in GM for quite a while, while the pros keep leveling up new people there. I guess this is somewhat migitated by the fact that GM is sort of "locked" when it's full, but still. I'm all for good players making money, but this is not a cool way to do it and I would think most pros who do this kind of stuff wouldn't want to parade it around too much. | ||

I feel like this needs some clarification. I've never been to a hacking site so I don't know how it works. Are these ads from pro-gamers posts in a forum or are they paid advertising banners or what? I think it's a huge problem if pro-gamers are providing financial support to the very same people who are ruining this game. On the flip side, even if they are just free ads or forum posts or something, I find the fact that pro-gamers are willing to grace these sites with their presence shows a disturbing affiliation between them that makes me uncomfortable. | ||

I want my rank to mean something, even if I am just a lowly Diamond. I play Starcraft to have fun and to improve. My rank is a reflection of my improvement. If the ladder is compromised in this way, my rank is meaningless. Now I lose motivation to play. I like people to earn their way, both in life, and in Starcraft. Paying your way into advantageous positions in any aspect of life is frankly disgusting to me. Your rank doesn't and have never meant anything, MMR does. | ||

Also this isn't even a problem that any of us can solve even if we wanted to, it would be up to Blizzard. And guess what? Blizzard has 38397329478 things to get done before they ever give a fuck about this. | ||

This is not really different from pros having smurf account in GM. Or koreans sharing accounts. Also, I don't think you can stay in GM by playing one game per week. GM and leagues are kind of a joke anyway, the only think that matter is MMR. Maybe they should rename leagues to small/medium/big penis, this would be closer to reality. | ||

Posts like these that contribute nothing certainly drag it down though. Anyways, I don't think anyone can argue it's not a bad thing considering it's against the EULA and some tournaments have ladder ranking play a part into invites and whatnot. Don't forget the drama involving Zack getting invited into WCS.. | ||

Seriously who gives a fuck, if some fool wants to pay someone to level their account it's no big deal. Maybe you should spend more time playing and improving if it really bothers you instead of caring about people who have artificial ranks. What if I said I cared? o_O | ||
