I don't think that there is way to avoid that. So only way probably is that you play only with yours friends.
How do I abort or not play new accounts? (aka cheaters!)
Sort:
The problem is that you don't play as if they were 30-minute games, the openings you play are without any idea of what you are doing, without plans, without proposing any strategy. You can't expect to win games playing like this, I think the only reason you reached 2000 elo is because in 30 minute games the average number of players in that elo is a very small player base. You need to be self-critical, respect your opponents, because by playing the openings that way there will be no way you can play tactics or endings well, because if you have already lost from the openings playing that way, the problem is you and only you.
If you want to play quick games at that pace, it is better to study commented games and opening concepts, then choose some opening and defenses to apply a mini-repertoire of openings.
From there you start studying tactics and endgames, because if you play the openings like this it is because you are not aware that you need to get to a good position for the middlegame and endgames.
Playing at 10 minutes, players respect the openings much more and if you play at 30 minutes you play as if they were bullet games. If you want better results you should take it more seriously, blaming your opponents for cheating is not fair if you play random moves that have no specific objective.

My current elo is 2050 and I only play 30 minute games. The moment I pair against a new account, I know I'm about to get crushed.
About 40% of my games are against accounts that joined 1-10 days ago humming to the tune of 15 wins in a row.
Chess.com does not let me abort against these accounts. I have to draw or resign. They do not always get banned, and often when they do it is a week or so later.
Is there any way I can avoid playing these people?
