If bungie doesn't want people to boost, then they should set social and ranked party limits to the teams size and have lone people go in for free for all, having this stupid banhammer is ruiing the game for inoscent people and is losing business for bungie.


Why not just ban the cheaters? If they don't let parties into ffa's they are keeping legit parties from playing that game type, which they might enjoy doing. Me and my guest like to get some FFA from time to time. Should we not be allowed because some other guy might boost EXP. Why punish legit players?

Notice how my previous post was posted at 11:17 for western time, Is it a sign that I am inoscent?

It's just a suggestion, maybe you could let 2 or 3 in a party for ffa. The main point is that the banhammer is unjust.

So i never got a message saying i was banned, but i won 3 games in a row today and didnt get any experience or go up in the playlist. Is it possible to check and see if i've been banned?

Where did that ban thread go...

Notice to all, whom have not recieved the ban message.

This is from shishka from another thread.

Some of you have already noticed, but it would appear that TrueSkill and EXP are not being properly awarded since Xbox Live's recent downtime. We're currently working with the Xbox Live team to investigate the issue. We hope to resolve this as soon as possible, and I'll reply here when we've got it figured out. Thanks for your patience.

Note: Do not be confused: This is not a global EXP ban or anything like that. If you have been EXP banned, there is an in-game message that tells you so, clearly. If you have not seen this message, you are not EXP banned.

hey there my account is a corkonian and i think i have beem xp banned and this may be because of boosting but how am i banned for playin games with my bros new account..does this mean that if i create a new account for halo that i must play on my own until i have reached the level of my friends(stupid?) or make my friends also make new accounts in order to play with them..i think this new banning system is completely unfair and if bungie want to stop boosters then they should only allow 1 account per person or some other way..also why is it only now that everybody is getting banned and why didnt they enforce this a long time ago? absolutley the biggest mistake bungie has ever made and are goin to lose alot of people over this..can anyone explain this to me?

I cannot explain but I can tell you that this is stupid that they are banning people for previous ofenses that occured before the banhammer went up. I have never boosted, yet i'm still banned.

I got exp banned today :( but I wasn't exp boosting though.

Cue straight up-front denial... followed by awful excuse and blatant lies.
Yes I went into some games with a team of 8 and played some games and we quit out of some only because we didn't want to play the gametype, There was one game where I just killed everyone because again we didn't want to gametype.


lol I know it sounds bad but its the truth man. I'm almost a force colonel I don't need the extra exp. One other thing I never got a message saying that I was exp banned either. Am I supposed to get one of those with the ban?

Yo Shishka, I'm currently playing DLC FFA and ive one twice already but i haven't seen my EXP. for FFA go over 15 points for quite some time. I was wondering if you can confirm to me whats happening; am i banned from gaining EXP. or am i just hallucinating and there's nothing wrong with my account. Because from what i remember i dont boost, i never liked boosting, i never will boost, and i never received a message saying i was banned. Can you confirm this to me please?

I'm just stating my opinion, but i think its a bit over the top to exp ban people for achievement cheating. Its not like achievements are worth money. If people want to fool them selves into thinking they earned the achievements, then let them. I can understand bans for modding or bad behavior but achievements are just beeping messages for people to compare how they didn't get them properly. As if xbox charging a stupid amount of money for the maps wasn't enough, you now ban people for harmless cheating. I just think you should reconsider the severeness of the punishment on such a trivial thing.
Thank you for reading,

P.S. Bungie, try sort out the exp problem at the moment.

i don't think i should be exp banned and it would be great if u could unban me because i didn't cross over any of the rules
i don't have any family members that play the 360 and i don't even try to get achievements

and i don't boost since no one wants to play with me and they charge so i only playe with my friends who aren't even that good

they should put a big stamp over the achievement saying ''CHEAT'' that would teach them a lesson

Try using one account and leveling that up rather than flaunting the skill system :)
Your ban could just be avengence of you creating another account.
