Subject: Trying to understand Halo cheaters...


I have to admit; I do not understand de-rankers, 2nd accounters, cheaters etc. At first, I thought I understood these fools. It made sense: Rig the game because it's fun to destroy the opposing team. However as I played online more and more it became clear that these cheaters did not enjoy beating up on REAL level 20s (like myself). I base this conclusion on the following observation: When de-rankers stop deranking and start pwning on people who are lower in actual skill level they talk trash in the post-game lobby; They say things like "oooohhh my god you are so BAD," with intonation so as to imply that it was boring or angering experience to pwn on me and my team. It's like as if their domination of me and my team was a chore for them...a chore they did not enjoy. My reaction is, "if you want a close/hard-fought game you should not tamper (2nd accounts for purpose of hiding skill level, de-ranking, cheating etc) with the rating system and trust the statistics/math inherent in the trueskill system (admitedly most of these clowns have no clue what an ELO based rating system is or how it works). Why would someone spend all that time to set up matches where they have an unfair advantage and then complain about winning?

Some people derank to play with their friends, and some people make 2nd accounts to rank them up and sell them. But yes they are retarded. And derankers who say that are even more stupid, they can't beat their own skill level so they derank and talk trash to people with alot less skill then them

I actually deranked a bit so I could get some achievements easier, other than that, I gained nothing of it.

No, they derank to boost other people to a higher skill level.

@vigilnt sniper

I agree...these people don't have my respect either. In fact I'll admit, they disgust me. I strive, nonetheless, to understand their (admitedly inferior) existence.
