what is excatly boosting?

just wanting to ask,

  • 09.30.2008 5:12 AM PDT

shishka dude i`m not sure if i`m banned or not. I didn`t receive a message saying that i`m banned but ever time I win a game my exp doesn`t go up. it doesn`t even say that I played the game when you check how many sociel games i`ve play. whats up with that !

  • 09.30.2008 5:12 AM PDT

Dear Shishka,

After reading some more of these posts I have finally realized that I was mistakenly accused of EXP boosting. By looking at the games it may look as if I was boosting, but to be honest, me and my friends were getting achievements. If it WAS considered cheating to get the achievements this way, than in the fine print of the achievements it should have said to gain them in ranked. Also, when I got banned, I was the only one in the bunch of my friends who did get banned. I will serve my time, although it does seem a little unfair, but I think my friends who were in the same party as me gaining achievements, should also be banned, because I'm mischievous like that.

How about those who host boot, hack people's accts (which happened to me very recently), and or using modded controllers? Those are alot worse individuals than the exp thing in my opinion but THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. Have you guys been able to detect those guys as well as the exp thing?

Thanks for this thread and if those guys mentioned above haven't got there whacking with the banhammer yet then I'm sure you all will work on them as well in the near future.

Later cuz.......................................................... ......Brakeyoselffooo

its a realy pathectic excuse to ban people

you use the achievemnts as bait and knwoing people would do what everyone has done

you should have made them ranked and you know it.

Shishka... I'm just wondering if I was exp banned or not. And it's sorta weird. I had 998 exp...gained one...now im stuck at 999 exp after winning three games...or was it two. Anyway, please respond. Don't know if it's a glitch or something, and I don't think i did anything wrong, and I definetely did not exp boost.

ps. Can my rank still increase?

  • 09.30.2008 6:23 AM PDT

Is quitting out of games, not for EXP boosting. But just simply quitting because you have


A) Bad teammates
B) Someone on your team already quit

Etc. Will you get EXP banned or banned in any form for this? This happens about every other game and extremely often if not every other game so wondering on that. Roughly about 40-50 times out of 200 or so games played a day.

I'm not here to say I'm innocent, I'm not here to say "OMG I gut banned for no RAISON", I'm not here to lie or argue against it, I'm here to tell how I got banned, what I did, and what happened as a result.

Two friends of mine and I got two consoles and 8 controllers and filled up a party in DLC FFA. One of my friends happens to be an achievement whore and he wanted some of the new ones without trying. We didn't even think about the EXP.

Now I realize that achievement boosting isn't any better than exp boosting but my console has been banned from exp and not achievements.

I happened to be in the matchmaking lobby with another friend of mine the next day (I think) when suddenly a message popped up that told me my console had been banned from getting exp. I thought it was kinda funny. Every time I read about the new banhammer I assumed it would take care of more serious offenses, but cheating is cheating.

I'm not mad that I'm banned. I really couldn't care less. Its just a game, and even if I did take the game too seriously like some people do, I can still play it just like before. Nothing changed other than the fact that I do not gain EXP when I win a match.

Fortunatly for me the ban gave me the motivation to go back into Lone Wolves and work on my rank, and luckily in three games I got my rank up to the desired level. No I didn't get EXP for those wins but it's just EXP. I have over 1000, and everyone knows thats more than enough to become a general.

I'm not sorry I did it. I knew what I was doing. I'm not angry, not even in the slightest. If anything I see this as a first hand experience whitnessing the new banhammer taking care of people that are not playing the game as designed. Everyone has been in at least one game where someone potentially ruined the game for someone else, and I'm very glad to see that bungie is taking a step in dealing with these problems.

This was a first offense for me and in less than two weeks now, I'll be able to gain EXP again. Also I'm sure I'll feel the silent gaze of bungie's personel watching and waiting for me to slip up again, and to that I say go on ahead. Check my file share while you're at it, I got some nice stuff on there.

So maybe this will make some of you kids realize that this is just a game. It is definitly nothing to cry about. Honestly if I was perma banned it wouldn't bother me. I played Halo 2 without xbox live for years.
Also It would give me more time to do things other than play xbox. Things that are actually productive. I mean achievements are addicting and all but just stop for a second and ask yourself, "what do achievements get you". Maybe then you will realize that video games are wasting your time.

This is an excellent post. It's too bad most won't take the time to read it because it's a "wall of text."

It's Not About The Amount Of Breaths You Take, It's About The Moments that take it away.....game on!

Yeah i was recently banned myself but I was never given an exact reason why.Me and my friends were all playing together and We all were Banned and I would just like to know what exactly I was banned for...I mean I received the message along with all of the other accounts on my xbox..we all partied up that night and yes we played until one of us earned their 50 xp acheivement is that what I was banned for unsportmans like conduct? I dont know Bungie you gotta do what you have to do I understand the consequences and repecusions guess maybe it did appear we were cheating.You know the worst part of this whole ordeal is the 7 on 7 acheivement I'm Gonna Miss out on until nov7 now....I am sorry for my actions and You will not have another problem involving me on xbox again...I do have a question though how can i have bungie veiw my fileshare and watch a recent game i played where the entire team stood by I had filed a complaint but I'm not sure if that will be looked into....again I am sorry

- As is said on http://www.bungie.net/ban, it is not our problem if it is your brother, cousin, best friend, mom, dad, girlfriend, boyfriend, or kitten that got your console banned. If it turns out that your gamertag is suffering from their wrongdoing, that is an issue you'll have to take up with them.

Kitten? I never suspected one of my own friends to...Wait..Is that the xbox I hear starting up? *Turns around*.. *GASP* Mr Snuggy Bottoms! How could you?!?!
