I personally think EXP boosting (partying up with friends and doing whatever crap on your own games) and language boosting are completely harmless.
I couldn't care less if you got your killionaire unfairly, so long as you didn't cheat anybody's gaming experience for it.
I think second accounting is more ban worthy than language boosting, IMO.

It says one week on mine?

Edit: What I mean is why does it only say one week if the minimum is two? I got banned for quitting I'm sorry Shishka I know I done bad :P

I'm not trying to get smart with you just wanted to know what was up with a faulty message =/ I have a picture if you need proof?

Try again tomorrow, if not wait another week.

lol oops, I just got console exp banned for two weeks for achievement boosting. What's ironic that in playing a game yesterday when I racked up 50 kills, a Killionaire, a Perfection, an Invincible, etc. through achievement boosting in Team Mythic, the Banhammer didn't seem to mind, and yet when I helped some kid and his friend get a few Mythic/Legendary achievements tonight, I get EXP banned. Oh well. The only part that sucks is that I'm gonna miss 7 on 7th. :\

It's probably because I was killing my guest profiles on the other team and not the other guy's guests instead.

First off let me just start out with I don't play a whole lot of online games. Also I had never even heard of boosting until I got an exp ban message.

All that happened was last night me and my brother got online and messed around in social play lists with guests signed in. We quit out of matches some because my logic was I didn't care about experience that much and no innocent person was being affected because we were in a "friend only" party.

I guess I just didn't consider what I did cheating because it never expressly said not to do it in the game. And the game allowed me to do what I did, its not like I was hacking or anything. I guess now I know what I did was wrong but I feel like a 2 week ban is a bit harsh for a first offender.

Well, the 2 week EXP ban shouldn't be of consequence to you then.

And an exp ban does not really affect me that much, I will go play other games or something. I just find it funny that the game doesn't even warn you about doing something wrong. The automated system just decides to ban you.

It would be different if you joined a social match making with an all friend party and it said "now got to bungie.net/ban and read the rules before starting". All I got was spam of how my console/account was exp banned before I could even stop the behavior.

It just reminds me of that Star Trek TNG episode where Wesely steped on the grass when it just so happened that at that time if you broke the law in that zone you got put to death. It was the same situation. The community said basically "well duh everyone knows about that obscure law that is never actually posted where you would normally see it".

I find it amusing you think ignorance is an excuse.

There's been plenty of warnings.

Related towards your first post, a two week ban is the "We know your cheating, this is your warning".

Yeah sorry bro. You know what you were doing was wrong. Think of Bungie as your moral compass. You got caught lmao

My Xbox 360 console has been banned permenantly from Matchmaking. The only type of boosting I could have done was Custom Games Boosting, considering on some of my accounts I have 20,000 plus. I'd just like to know why I've been banned.

It's good to know your both a quitter and a cheat. You just gave yourself away. Besides the fact you've quit nearly as many games as you actually played.

Keep BUNGLE away from matchmaking, away from these forums, and overall away from this game.

That's absolutely ignorant.
Good thing you're not in charge or you would kill half the population of the game.

Neither one should be ban worthy.
