I played a player today, a few thousand xp and low level city...a german lamer. Anyway, I host the game as port level 6, the game starts and the german player booms right past me, pumps out a ton of ww + skirms and kills me. After he's like oh you see this is actually my other account...is that considered cheating or is it okay?
The point is that I have now faced quite a few of these guys (in the last 10 days or so about 4-5) that are all ranked 1950++ on cuetech but pose as newbies or mid-level players since their rating is very deceiving...it's pretty shitty when you have to face these guys and they are way above your skill level...

I don't see your point. What exactly is considered cheating? Playing Germans? If its that then I agree

No, that he has multiple accounts and joins games with lower ranked players only to run over them then while posing as a 'new' player...
I personally don't care that he plays germans cause he can kiss them good-bye when the patch is out...tho that does just add insult to injury...

Nope. If he bought two or more games he has the right to make more accounts. Noob bashing, laming, etc is not cheating either.

Oh ok...so I guess it's just something ethically wrong...like I personally would not play players of much lower rating if I started a new account even though I have a lvl 10 HC or w/e.

Yeah, that's called smurfing and it's stupid. It's technically not cheating, I suppose, but it's very unethical. Those people are the whole reason we got stuck with this stupid 1 acct/key policy in the first place. The policy really stinks for those of us who have multiple people in our house who play the game. 2 of my best friends that I play a lot with are brothers, so we can't all play online in a game b/c they only have 1 acct. Also, my dad plays the game some, but isn't anywhere close to being as good as me and therefore, can't really play online with my acct as it's ranked captain and he would get completely crushed at a game anywhere near that level.
I am an 1800. Oh, wait. 1800 stinks. nm.

I guess rating means a lot to some people...I'm not trying to say that I would not like to be rated higher, I would, but would I go out and buy another copy of the game to do it? No.
Well maybe if it went on sale for $19.99 and then I would sell mine on ebay for $29.99

Smurfing and playing Germans are both lame.

Is sad that what I want to say too you is so degrading and inhumanely cruel by various terms of mocking your intelligence and personality, possibly provoking your childhood, past, and family that I will certainly be banned for aggravated verbal assault.
However, when the fourth horseman of the apocalypse comes, you will lose the discretion of my unkind discourse.

meh who cares he was just a smurf. If they buy another copy or get one its their own business what they do with it.

Yup I know, I'm not upset or anything...I really could care less. I was just curious if it is something that should be raised with ES as an issue or not

I've totally experienced that...
Too bad really, especially since its a cultural (IE bad parenting/socialization) thing and not a social/political. It would be very difficult to find a solution to the degeneration via political means. However, I maintain the belief that it is possible and if Synch decides to run for Prez someday, he'll have my support.
No... noo..! You don't buy more games. Thats just stupid.
I know the secret. You make 2 windows account like when you start your computer. It says like your name to log in. You use ...
I know it but its hard to tell. You make 2 user accounts on your windows computer. Example-
[ICON]Genkai0 [Password][arrowsign][cluesign]
thats one account
[ICON]Dejanh [Password][arrowsign][cluesign]
its the thing that shows up when you start your computer.
Say you install AOE3h on Genkai0. Its not installed on dejanh. You only can use 1 account on Genkai0.
Since it is not installed on dejanh you can make another account on dejanh.
Thats how you make 2accounts! You using the same computer but different administrators.

That wouldn't work. Even if you had too accounts on your computer, you still only have one CD-key, which is what you need to start an ESO account.
I played this one smurf on ESO once, it was actually kinda funny. This was back when I was a corporal or some other low rank (But I still had a good win%, 70+). Anyway, I'm waiting for this game to start and the guy hosting it says, "So, this is your second account?" I say no and he says "Oh, well this is my second account"
I then beat him in the game. I hope it really burned him up to have spent $50 on another game so he could beat noobs and then to be beaten by a "lowly noob".

It works you should try it.

It does suck.
Record the game...check out how they play...and how you got pwned.
