Hello everyone.

Recently, an issue of players boosting others to high ranks in the leaderboard has become apparent. These boostings are typically done by the user giving their account info to the booster after a RMT has taken place, that player will then play on their account gaining them the ranks.

For example, this season in Aether it has become especially bad. It is fairly obvious that one user is being boosted to the top 100 ranks. This user is brand new to PvP, people playing with in custom matches too where they played solely DPS and Tank. All of a sudden, they started playing SCH at an incredibly high level overnight, gaining +687 points in a single day. Something which is not achievable by any average player, much less one that only started doing the Feast this season and playing suspiciously like a user who publicly advertises himself as selling these boosts.

As a community, I hope that there would be some more clarification on these boostings being looked into. If you cannot catch the booster, then at least doing something about the person buying the boost to unfairly gain ranks in the competitive Feast mode, making the ranks worth less. I imagine this could be done by checking IP login locations, especially the differences between when they suddenly have a huge rise in rank. Punishing the user who would buy the boost by banning and surrendering the rewards would help immensely in discouraging these purchases and help keep the board more legitimate.

For the sake of keeping the mode fair, competitive and fun, I really hope that you all in the SE team can take a good look at this issue.
