I have started to see more and more high-rated bullet players farming people 500-600 points lower than them for +0 to +1 per game. On the surface there is nothing wrong with playing weaker opponents, but if somebody deliberately avoids people anywhere close to their rating I think it becomes a problem because they achieve ratings far beyond what they should be under normal circumstances. I have edited out the names of such users, but let’s just say there is a certain untitled 3200 currently on the leaderboard who perfectly exemplifies this behavior.
For everybody who does this, you can search each user's rated bullet games and see that opponents are all an absurdly lower rated, and you'd be lucky to find anyone above 2700 in these games. While I don't think a user should have their account closed or labeled with the "violated tos" banner, I think lichess should enforce rankbans for this kind of behavior, because it's clear that people are inflating their ratings far beyond what they should be. Thoughts?
