I would like to appeal for a ban I recieved last night.
I was with a few friends last night, and we were doing Matchmaking. One of the players in our game (under the name of Breadmonster67) invited us to join his game and get some achievements. He asked everyone to bring a guest. I asked if this was okay to do, and he replied "yes", so I spawned up a guest and we got achievements.
After we did that, we went into Grif Ball, and Breadmonster decided to Exp Boost, and he wanted everyone in the game to join him. He was the only person in the game that boosted, while the others (including myself) continued to play Grif Ball. He started to even our scores to result in a tie game. I tried to interfere with what he was doing, but I couldn't. After he scored, he said that he would stop. However, he decided to do it again and again constantly in the game, until it ended with a tie game.
I told him that EXP Boosting would get him banned, and my friends and I left the game shortly after. I booted up my 360 today, and I was given a two week EXP Ban. I don't think it's fair, because I was actually trying to STOP him from Boosting, along with my friends (who I assume also got EXP Banned), yet we all recieved the punishment.
I NOW know that fixing Achievements could result in a ban, but when we did it, I was unaware, and Breadmonster said that it was fine to do. I always get my Achievements the fair way, and I had no idea that you could be punished for fixing them. So I ask, is there any possible way you could reduce my punishment, or take away the EXP I got from Breadmonster's game? I assure you that it will never happen again. I leave it to you, the people of Bungie, to decide what'll happen to my account.
Sincerely,
Retrobit
No, just no, ignorance is not an excuse for prior actions. On top of "acheivement boosting," you actively were apart of somebody EXP boosting. As soon as this Breadmonster guy suggested even the achievement boosting you should have said no and left. For somebody who always gets achievements the "fair way" it seems obvious that you would assume getting them in an unfair manner wasn't the right thing to do. On top of that you participated in an EXP boosting game. Whether you actually tried to stop it is irrelevant. As you have stated he (Breadmonster) told you he wanted to EXP boost you should have just said no and left. Your ban will not be reduced.
