For those that say it devalues achs, that is another matter entirely and Bungie should not be concerned with it, it is not their problem. However beside the point it is though, it does not devalue achs in any way, as achs are personal as I have said.


Let's see, people selling xbox live account's that are 50's. Microsoft and Bungie's problem.
People boosting rank's for money value. Microsoft and Bungie's problem
People spamming the forums about bans/boosters. Bungie's problem

Solution.
Banhammer.

Please read the full post, it was a work in progress, I can only copy and paste one lot of stuff at a time : ).

If you look at your post however, you miss the point which I tried to make clear in my initial post:

Your examples - Bannable.
My example (ach hunting) - Not bannable.

You raise another point though, which is monetary gain. I do not condone this nor take part or even see a point in it, I mean WTF? Someone is willing to pay actual money for an account that is level 50 on a game? Still, it happens, unfortuantely, but it is not stoppable unless ranks are removed. It is not however, a problem so to speak, except the boosting itself, which is in ranked and ruins others' experiences (not xp if you're confused lol). The actual trading of accounts affects Bungie and Microsoft...in absolutely no way at all.

Exactly the type of reply I was expecting. Offenders beware? Really? I imagine you actually felt all high and mighty as you were typing that. Absolutely nothing to add to anything, you just say banhammer in very mature alternating capitals. Wow. It was an enlightening experience reading your thought ( stretching the word quite a lot to fit you in there )

Same as medal boosting, since that's what most of the achievements are... oh, bannable :)

Some people are despirate for that virtual figure.
Try think of it in a business perspective.
People selling account's via Microsoft's system, meaning they want some of that money aswell, like any other business would want.
Of course MS doesnt get a cut, meaning they want it to stop, and that requires Bungie to keep record of account's ect, and ban ban ban.

Medal boosting - not bannable : ).

These are in-game 'achievements', personal, just like the out-of-game achievements to which they relate.

Apart from Microsoft wanting a cut how does account trading affect them? I am well aware they are within their rights to stop it however, and I would too if I owned a company *like* Microsoft. Note *like*. If I actually owned Microsoft I really wouldn't give a damn about such small-fry. I read an article once where Microsoft shut down a guy's store because it was called Mike-r.o.-soft or something like that, and it was his name written cleverly. That wouldn't affect me at all, or microsoft. Just like acc trading doesn't really.

I don't think it is right, but not something to bother with, and, if you notice, we have strayed into microsoft's domain - this has nothing to do with bungie and bang, no banhammer. ( for this )

As I have said before though, getting an advantage over other players = ban and the boosting itself is doing this. Ban.

Achievements/medals - no advantage, no ban

The problem is a lot of the time people go for achievements and medals it comes out looking exactly like what some EXP boosters do. Therefore, it is all classified as boosting and is bannable. We can't expect Bungie to waste resources looking for the intent of players. That is why it is an automatic "foolproof" system.

You aren't banned. Sounds like you have internet connection issues.

ok question if ur exp banned can u still gain highest skill or not
Yes, you can still gain (or lose) ranks.
i think bungie should fix that cause boosters might love that cause they know having lower xp will help raising up so get exp banned and u dont gain exp so they dont have to quit to have low exp

YES! Finally! Shishka made the most beautiful creation! I'm tired of seeing a thread like "omgomgomgomg I got EXP banned for no reason!".

If Shishka keeps making threads like this, then most of the complainers shall be gone'd from the otherwise tasty forum sections. Without complainers, the Halo 3 forums would be wholesome once more. Good Job Shishka!

Why does Bungie care if ppl achievement boost with their friends it doesn't ruin the game. Its basically saying I want to get achievements with my friends and help them out and myself in the process.

Thats just not true. The Trueskill system doesn't have anything to do with EXP. So, what boosters "know" isn't true.

I'd argue that Bungie doesn't care about achievement boosting. They do, however, care about EXP boosting which more often than not is what "achievement boosters" participate in.

I've never heard of a 1 day ban. Was it a message from Bungie or Microsoft?

That's weird, I think your ban might be related towards Xboxlive instead of bungie.
I'd talk to them via phone/forums and double check.[/quote]

What did they say?

My question is : how can you boost in a social game? because me and my friends played mythic to get the achivements and we even tried to make it where alterneting teams got xp, but 3 of us still got banned, but some people did not. Im not gonna argue, but i dont think that this is grounds for being banned. btw, this is not my main linked gamertag. my main is JT0429
