Is there a way to get back in Rank?

Post by kryzon »

Greetings, everyone.
I was wondering if there was a way I could get back to "Experienced" rank instead of "Highly Experience" (Star). I know this sound strange, but putting this simply, I kinda like the symbol I bear as an Experienced player.

So I'd like to ask (especially the admins or moderators) if you know a way to get back in rank in your account. As weird as this request may seem, I'd really like an answer.

Thank you all for your time.
Cya later,

If you smurf, you can spend 70% of your time as the "Experienced" rank.

Hmm, not very aware of what is smurfing. If you could enlight me in the process of smurfing, I'd really appreciate that.


Also, if anybody else know about other methods, i'll be glad to hear them.

Make a new account, play enough to get up to the experienced rank, install linux and TASClient on wine, and never accumulate in game minutes again. :roll:

Maybe your e-peen, once the higher ranks get implemented.

But seriously, what's wrong with smurfing? Or do you mean the LOL I R N00B PUT ME WITH PR0Z type of smurfing?

(Something tells me I'm going to regret this conversation...)

A 1-stripe is more likely to be a pro smurfing than a noob. It can disrupt autobalance, sure, but the real problem is that a player who plays often gets to know the other players, who is good, who is bad, and how to balance a team out properly.

Smurfing mucks that up.

In non-team games though, its usually done by someone who values their e-peen so they can lose against someone else without fear of damaging said e-peen, so that they can trick noobs who would never play them into playing them, or to learn everyone elses strats and playstyle, while nobody is able to learn their strats or playstyle (Metagaming, i guess).

You don't accumulate in game minutes with TASClient on wine in linux. Also my reference clearly went over Saktoth's head. :P

because new players will get creamed by people who were supposed to be as green as they are. It hurts team balance and is often used for dubious means.
