Re: Are all the top Apex streamers Frauds?

@SILVERisSORRYMany change their names a lot. Some have lots of accounts but not most of the top streamers.

I do agree the multiple account practice to farm new players should not be allowed. But it is. Apex only considers it smurfing if you use a new count and throw games to get the easiest lobbies over and over.

Actually it is, the report smurf is for reporting the people who keep making new accounts all the time to prey on the newbies. That said its allowed to have an alt so its walking a fine line here.

I promise you in like 99% of all online games the "report smurf" is just there to make you feel better. Never once with multiple friends across different games either being the smurf or reporting a smurf has anyone ever got banned or got feed back from getting someone else banned. Has someone ever got a temporary ban from smurfing? I am sure. But I promise you no one is getting banned for smurfing.

@ZkepzNo, the smurf button is there for the exact reason I said. It is for people that make a new account, have a big game and then throw games over and over so they can do that again.

Hideouts has said this.

we had an example here earlier with a guy wondering why he had hardware ban and from what I could see he specialized in playing level 1s, so dunno, perhaps smurfing by the proper definition also counts....
