N3O is the smurfing clan?

Yesterday I was playing in a 3v3 and while we were waiting for the last player, the other players were questionning me, asking me if I was one of those N3O smurf players?
Of course, I have about 40% win percentage at the moment so I could quickly point out that if I was a smurf, i was a very bad one. But I was curieus and two of the other players said they had played with some N3O players the last weeks who were 2nd Of 1st Lieutenant but played like captains or majors lol.
I dont know of any smurf in our beloved clan, but I do know a lot of N3O only games are being played out there and some of you guys have maybe advanced so much the ranks just dont much your true capacities any more,lol?

clan games are indeed a very special way of improving in skill. many of which are unrated. some members even do numerous 1v1s unrated and when they do go back into the rated world of eso , often times they find that their ooponets are no match for their tweaked skills

who were those guys saying that? i've only got one account and always will

i totally agree with dhd, people like buschmann, tubruk or hejurmhoanni come to my mind then. lots of unrateds, they go back to rated and create chaos

I think what they mean is we play so few rated games b/c we don't care about the whole PR thing, that our 2nd's and 1st's play like capt-majors...

Hmm seems, like the standard of our 1st and 2nd lts are the highest out there in ESO. Think I can live with that.

Yes and skill difference can be pretty big between lvl 20-28. So I can understand how some non N3O dude has a feeling he got smurfed by a bit of superior play from an N3O friend.
Even more so if the N3O player knows whats he's doin strategywise, because sometimes I am still baffled at the lack of tactics from some players. They just build economy and units and thats it.
If you take some RTSL league tactics to a random 3V3, its pure ownage.

Well I use one smurf account for vanilla, so I don't have to make non-tad decks for my own account. We are just an underrated clan :)

N3O unrated clan games, unrated 1v1's vs Hejurm, buschmann, 91, silento, challe, victor_swe etc. really helps as said before.

Cause when you play with friends you learn things much faster, cause then you can ask what did I do wrong? What should I've done. Or maybe teammates tells you what you did wrong, or right instead of flaming you like rated 3v3's when you don't know anyone.

Stuff like that makes you better, happier and also makes you wanna help other guys that play worse than you.

N3O "ftpw"

I know it's hard to imagine, but I have NEVER been accused of being a smurf.

I have a smurf account, but I don't play it. I got it for my boy (he will be 2 this december).
