@OldTreeCreeper that's like saying, "Yes, you can CHEAT, but just this once, if you do it over and over, you will get banned."

The people who smurf can just make another account, so they can basically CHEAT INFINITLY. Ridiculous, no wonder the game is full of SMURFS, he is giving everyone permission to do it.

@SILVERisSORRY that's not my interpretation of it. The question put to Conor was about a ranked challenge. He replied

"create new accounts consistently to farm lower level lobbies."

To me, it seems to be very specifically about banning farming pub or ranked smurfs, who are specifically and persistently wipeing out lower level lobbies for whatever reason. Not ranked challenge smurfs who are passing through.

@OldTreeCreeper Are they not farming technically as they are passing through in a sense? I'm not being sarcastic, generally asking a question, I am not sure, I don't play rank very much...only a few times since game launch.

  @NickBeam27 I cannot disagree with you. I used to think all smurfing was bannable, until I saw Hideouts clarification. I don't know why such a distinction was made.

    @OldTreeCreeper Thanks for the reply, It just seems like even passing through to "do a grind"....are they not destroying lower level players and creating the very same frustration to the exact level as someone doing it constantly to "farm" noobs while trying to reach the top of that grind?
    I would take that no different as one saying, well if I use an Aim Bot hack once a month, its ok to destroy the opposition....as long as I don't use an Aim Bot hack all the time to destroy my opponents on a regular basis.
    
    Which then opens up a whole new bag of feces on the same statement when referring to all mods, zen, marcos, scripts et cetera.
