    Microsoft need to stop smurf accounts


    Sure we have tools in place like blocking players but in competitive games it makes a mockery of ranking systems.

    You end up with one of two types of smurf:

    1: a very skilled high rank player who has made a secondary account to bully lower ranked players, or boost friends. Sure, get good, but sometimes you dont have the chance to because there are so many smurf accounts that you just end up quitting a game,
    like Rainbow Six Siege for example. A game which already has a high skill ceiling, made worse by smufs.

    And then the second type, who are just as annoying.

    2: the troll smurf, these are the guys who team kill, score own goals, just t-bag in a corner in S&D, and generally troll players. You can report them and block them, but they will just make a new account and carry on being trolls.

    This is something MS could prevent, if someone has had an account banned, or multiple accounts banned that are associated with their Xboxs serial number, then stop them makinh new accounts for a period of time / permanently with multiple violations.

    Have a parent account, that keeps track of all reports against any user on an Xbox and stop any accoint on that Xbox connecting to XB Live for a period of time 48hr / 2 weeks / 2 months, etc.

    There are ways to stop this.

    :)

    Microsoft need to stop smurf accounts

    A question I have based on the punishment idea is would stuff like comm. bans be apart of it too or would it need to be an account ban? I'm all for punishing troll smurf accounts as I've had some experiences with them, but punishing skilled player smurf
    accounts too would seem a bit extreme in my eyes.

    Plus, as someone who use to play Rainbow Six Siege, punishing skilled smurfs would seem extremely unfair to them as on their base account, matchmaking would become a nightmare because Ubisoft's Skill Based Match Making (I don't know how good/bad it is now,
    but it use to be a nightmare the higher you went up in tiers in Ranked).

    They need to limit how many you can have in a year to stop smurfing. It is out of control

    Smurf #1: Yeah, I saw you leave with Smurfette.

    Smurf #2: Oh man, as soon as we got out of the bar, she started smurfing me.

    Smurf #1: Shut the Smurf up!

    Smurf #2: Yeah!

    Smurf #1: Right in the Smurfing parking lot?

    Get a real job (not that pretend job where you work on movies and adverts but forget you said that and change it to something else)

    Whilst at your new job make friends.

    When your new work friends ask if you want to go for a drink say YES,

    If you follow my advice you might stop yourself looking like such a idiot on here every week. By the way....how old are you?
