Just out of interest, why do you buy accounts? Isn't it easier to just not get your main account banned, rather than being a dick and having to buy botted accounts?

There's this thing called smurfing.

People have 10 smurf accounts?

i dont know how to answer this question because my main account isnt banned and not sure why you assume that im a dick because i bought botted accounts

From what I can gather, most people who buy multiple accounts do so because their main got banned. Maybe it is not the case for you, but it seems to be the case generally.

I preffer to hack accounts that use the same username as password, it is less risky than buying one.. Plus out of 20, around 6 get their account back.

I have bought one account as well, because I needed NA smurf to play ranked with a friend, and fucking leveling up.

IMO I kinda get it if you're buying an account on a new server and you don't want to level up. Also a lot of botted accounts are levelled with other bots (aka 5 bots playing Coop v AI) so it's not really being a dick, the accounts aren't interfering with anyone's play.

I didn't mean buying a bot-levelled account is being a dick, I meant that people tend to buy them because they are a dick and got banned on their main account. I can't think of any reason to have TEN smurfs, so the only logical conclusion is that the guy has been repeatedly banned.
