I'm still wondering why people are worrying about other people's stats.  It's bad enough to worry about your own, and now you're gonna worry about someone else's?  

<Steps off soap box>

I appreciate what you're saying and don't entirely disagree with you. But, step outside of your own perspective and look at the big picture of the long-term health of the game we all enjoy. Approve of it or not, agree or disagree, there are a lot of subscribers who enjoy the goal setting aspect of playing for rank/score. That enjoyment is largely contingent upon the reasonable supposition that the playing field each tour is relatively level and fair. Once you have people manipulating their statistics unethically you've undermined the integrity of the entire system. Once you've done that, those that choose to approach the game in a goal oriented fashion are in a sense denied their right to enjoy that experience to its fullest. I am fairly certain HTC and conscientious members of the community would rather not marginalize the efforts of any subscribers if it all possible. If a laissez-faire attitude is taken it could potentially have a deleterious effect upon the long-term commercial viability of this product...Therefore, it is our duty as responsible and ethical members of the community to notify HTC via email if any unethical behavior is suspected, whether it has a direct impact on our respective individual play-style or not...

In my opinion for what it is worth. Get 2 or 3 accounts the more money they pump into the game the sooner they can keep improving the game we enjoy.

Not if in doing so another 5 subscribers cancel their accounts in disgust...Which is entirely plausible.

This is just another perfect example why score and rank doesn't mean dik. As Karaya said before, we all know who can do what in this this game. It's really sad that some twits go into empty arenas and shot theirselves down just to look talented to faceless internet names. But hey....whatever floats their boat.

I don't think this type of behavior was as prevalent until HTC offered cash rewards some time back for having a certain rank/score.

That said, let him vulch his account and get as big a score as he wants. It doesn't affect how I play the game...

[sarcasim]
Besides, the biggest score monkey in the game already hates me and I want to earn the respect of even those that vulch second accounts.

Maybe I am completely wrong, but not long after the 262 was released a cash prize was offered. I was taking a long break from AH at the time but read about it...

Yep!
Never new that. So now I know why so many try for the top spots & a select few of those have multiple accounts.
