@BaldWraithSimp with the current system it takes quite a while to legally drop back to bronze, and from there they can only rapidly ascend out of the noob ranks, without any means to return besides smurfing. So its not really comparable to the ability to reverse boost yourself back down which is considerably quicker. You'd be surprised how low people will stoop for easy lobbies, it's rife in COD lol. 😛
@WreckingVi Yup it's pretty dumb but that's the polar opposite to what I was describing. As I said I'm not against rank demotion, but there would need to be a buffer of sorts.
@Eshshshss It's a matter of preference, most people smurf to get badges, the downside to that is they're then on a noob account and not their main, this is where the reverse boost becomes much more appealing.
If you set out with the goal to mindlessly smash noobs as a means to stroke your own ego then smurfing would undoubtedly be quicker I agree. 😛
