Are there people buying high rank accounts??

The number of Eagles performing less than a silver - no joke! - is getting higher. WTF

This only breaks even further the MM. My eagle is absolute garbage while their eagle is a freaking beast. I'm only AK 2 and I'm getting first place a lot. That doesn't say how good I am. It only says that my team is absolute trash if me - a mere ak 2 - is getting top1 on the team. sigh...

Yes there are, came across a guy who purchased a Global Elite account a while ago and he performed dreadfully. So much corruption within the game.

it only would matter if you have very low trust if people are buying accounts.

Q: I play CS:GO on a Steam account that I acquired from someone else (rather than creating it myself on steampowered.com). Could this explain the poor experience that I am having?
A: Yes. When you acquire a premade Steam account then you also acquire that Steam account’s Trust Factor. Additionally, acquired accounts commonly have a very low Trust Factor. Don’t acquire accounts from other users.

My trust is fine. You can check you trust by joining a friend's party.

Maybe they had a break and aren't warmed up yet or just have a bad game, or are just drunk or whatever. Just because you are first in the scorerboard doesn't automatically mean you are better than your teammates.

Also the ranking system is a team based system so individual skill isn't that big of a deal and people with less skill/worse stats can rank up aswell.

And yes, some people actually do rank boosting and sell those accs. Kinda sad but I'm sure not that many people in your team bought those accs, if any at all.

That's not a post you can answer with "nope". This also is very disrespectful.

no you can't. this is not checking TF

Your matchmaking experience may be slightly impacted because Trust Factor of (player) is lower than yours.

Your matchmaking experience will be significantly affected because Trust Factor of (player) is substantially lower than yours.

Oh.. So there are decimals? I though it was like a binary factor. That's what they teach you on youtube at least. You join a friend and if you have your trust factor to be negative, your friend gets a notification.

I have asked multiple people now where anything was disrespectful or even just slightly negative and nobody even had a single clue what you are talking about.

NOTHING of that post was negative, toxic, disrespectful or whatever. So what are you on about?!

Edit: But I see a line here. You accuse people of beeing bad, boosted and that they bought accounts, then you accuse me of beeing disrespectful while I simply explain in a normal manner what the situation is. Some people...

Stop being negative, my dude. Move along.

Rank is not skill. Your rank does not accurately portray your individual skill level.

Performance in an individual game is a very hard value to quantify into ranks/skill levels meant to be a long term average.

if everybody in the lobby has low trust there is no message, would you assume that is good trust?
