Didn't Respawn say them selves that smurfing is basically aloud? I remember reading the post. Look, we all know numbers impress and keep stake/share holders happy, as it deceives the ignorant.
It just seems hopeless and pointless to tell ppl to report something Respawn Devs already made clear is fine. I've reported dozens and dozens of smurf accounts over the last 3-4 seasons, and I would still see them playing.
I would guess out of all the issues in regards to reporting - smurfing would be by far the easiest to detect. Really simple math here. Yet the smurfs continue to plague without fail.
Could you imagine the drop in the player base if every single smurf account was removed tomorrow! Guess that wouldn't be so good for business.

Basically yeah. The rule is that we're not allowed to "stomp on the lower skilled players".
In other words, as long as we're playing in the lobbies we're meant to be in, its fine. Although this doesn't make any sense to me because other games, (like Valorant), would ban you for doing this because it would be seen as a smurf account. Its strange that Apex allows alt/smurf accounts in the first place, (while also having a report option for reporting these accounts).
