Smurfing Should Be Bannable

If you make a character name like "asdlfkjgh" and are found pvp'ing while naked or doing other shady kitten you should just get auto-banned. 

Also, no F2P accounts in PvP until they can figure out the smurf/alt situation.  Or make a separate ranking for F2P accounts--I don't care if someone says it's 'pay to win', if you want to legitimately PvP then you can at least buy the core game.  

As PvP atm is starting to feel very F2P KMMO--stupid imbalances and a dev team / company that seems utterly unenthused about fixing it in the slightest.

I could see top 250 being silver 3 if they do that lol

Most players have an alt account to play offhour and not throw away their rating, yes, there's the ones that alt for pure exploit

Perhaps more actual individual players would play if that was the top wasn't as full of alts.

This game mode has no population. It can't afford to ban people even alt accounts that get played one at a time. This game is over. Nothing they do will bring in thousands of thousands of players witch is what this game needs. It time for the next step in guild wars. And that is gw3. Nothing short of a new title will bring in new population.

There doesn't seem to be any reason for this, sure the name is dumb, but there are plenty of other dumb names, what's the problem?

What's the reason this matters? Is it because you don't want people who can't access some of the newer and more powerful builds on your team or because of some abuse of matchmaking?

Essentially nothing good comes from FTP accounts in ranked PvP.  No brand-new player is making a garbage name like that and not putting any armor on--attempting to defend this is just insane.

You didn't even describe what most people would consider as Smurfing. 

It's smurfing if someone is high ranking and make a trash account to farm people in bronze, or to manipulate the matchmaker through duo.  This is why it needs auto-ban.

There's a good chance a lot of multiboxing goes on as well, even though it is bannable, as you point out they won't ban because its 'activity'.

Maybe this would be better and maybe more people will get into PvP if it felt more equal.  When you get complete demolish and you lose 3 times the rating you get when you win a game, whats the motivation to even keep playing sPVP?
