smurfing report

[StonkOverflow]

i don't normally need to report people in this game, so i'm a little unclear on the rules here. if someone is playing at a certain level (e.g. gold nova 4) but turns out to be at a far lower level (e.g. gold nova 1), how do you appropriately report said individual? up to this point, the few people i've run into that fit this category, i've just reported them for griefing once for each level of rank they are down by. in the example above, the player was a gold nova 1 rank but clearly played like a gold nova 4, so i would have reported them 3 times. is this the wrong way to go about it? is there a better way?

You shouldn't report people because you think they might be doing something that shouldn't be allowed... Well, that sounds like a tongue twister, but, to keep it simple, don't create your "own game rules", you will just saturate report system with reports that will lead to nowhere and will only give you a low TF (and a lower response to your reports in the future)

hard for the response of reports to get any lower than "never"

Just noobs doing it because they can't play on higher ranks.

no need to report multiple times. That would be silly to need to spam the report option for a more serious response.

Smurfing is not a crime, you can't report something just because it's better than you. This shows your level of cowardice. It's like the poor hating the rich, since he will always be poor and will blame the rich for that.

although the user can create multiple accounts in the same email, steam does not link the accounts as a single person. So valve doesn't know exactly when a player is smurfed, doesn't know that he has 2 accounts or more, that he is global on one account and silver on another to play with. There is no way to legitimately report a smurf.

no of course smurfing isn't a crime but it's reportable

Hello,

The situation you describe is impossible. A higher rank, like a "gold nova 4" as you mentioned, would NOT be matched with "gold nova 1" players, but instead with players of the same or similar ranks. At the end of the game, the scoreboard will clearly display the ranks of everyone in your lobby, so you will see that this situation just does not happen. Counter Strike: Global Offensive has the best ranked multiplayer of this century. Do you really think players could find a way to exploit the game?

On top of this, why would someone want to do this anyway? Playing with players lower ranked than you would be far too easy, and playing against players of a higher rank would be too difficult? There is no reason for someone to willingly put themselves in a game like that, even IF there WAS a way to do it.

Sidenote - the bullet physics in this game are exceptional. If you died in a game, it is NOT because the player who killed you is a higher rank, it is because the bullet physics worked to perfection, as they always do.

Also, you should check your definitions in the future. ""Smurfing"" is when a player creates a new account to play against lower ranked individuals. The situation you described, while not even being possible, would not be smurfing either way because a new player, obviously, would not be in the gold nova rank as 94% of players are in silver.

Hope this clears things up for you!
