I was wondering if it would be considered boosting if i went into DLC FFA with7 out of the 8 possible people for quite a few games even though we didnt boost.

I have been banned....it doesnt make you cry if you get it...so dont worry thats just hype. That message that your wondering about..will pop up either "in game" or while your in the chat room or in the game menu, and will specifically say "you have been banned from getting from getting EXP in matchmaking....blah blah blah.." and it will do that several times...annoying you...until it finally stops. You can't miss it hahaha.

Okay for the question of "how do you know if you have been exp banned...do you recieve a message?" Yes you have 2 messages pop up saying your xbox has been exp banned...and another message saying that "this account has been exp banned if you have any questions then go to....then it gives you the website with all the banhammer info.....I know this because I am exp banned.... I messed up and got achevement hungry it was to tempting when my friend who also got exp banned had a party full of guests and stuff...I'm sorry I wasen't planning on getting to a general I just wanted the 50exp achevement fast... I should have just spent a day in rummble pit and got 50 exp that way.. the legit way... I can say I have learned a lot about being banned from my favorate game....when I play in games now I just have fun and don't get mad or care about winning and being that laid back playing acually has made me get better...and I've been winning a lot more. So I guess thats the only good thing that has come out of this....also I noticed that I can still gain high skill with this exp ban...is that right? I guess its not a high skill ban so.... Also it counts games played so even when you win your accts record is suffering by this ban to... JUST WANTED TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS... I'm counting down to the 14th when I get unbanned....also Is there anyway to get the message when you sign online to say how long you have been banned for? Because the only way I would have known it was a 2 week ban was to visit this website....and if you didn't tell me I wouldn't have known...also I got kicked out of my clan AoR who played you guys for humpday for this also...so I got double owned.

Staff Writer @ themarriedgamers.net

Thank you for clearing that up about achievements too, all I heard this weekend on Halo 3 was "Achievements are ok but you gotta play like normal too etc"

Plus I would say all those achievements people get all the time just wait till your map comes up and gametype (like king of the hill for double double chain kills etc) and it will be much easier...

Your ban is, without a doubt, completely justified.

  • 09.29.2008 10:41 AM PDT

So trying to get achievements is now a bannable offense? please clarify

  • 09.29.2008 10:42 AM PDT

Ya know what this game needs? A Warthog, with legs.

well, if you kept all the acheivements to be on ranked, and not social then people might not cheat. the original achievements were great becuase they were hard. now these ones encourage people to boost.

Also, you boosted approximatly 46 times on 3 pages of your game history. Thanks for making me lol :)

I miss playing Halo with my friends.

- If you're cheating to get Achievements, you're still cheating. The banhammer is aimed at the behavior, not the intent. "I was just trying to get Yorick" won't get you out of the EXP ban.


I've played games on Avalanche where all I would do is try to run people over, or beat them down with the flag. It's ok to do that?

  • 09.29.2008 10:44 AM PDT

"omg I gut EXP banned for no raison!"

I know it's not you guys, so Microsoft better let me get EXP soon, or else![/inside joke]

yes. thats not boosting. thats just trying to get the achievement. in fact, i did legendary brawl for like 7 games 2 days ago, just trying to get a splatter spree and 5 chaingun kills. boosting achievements is referring to taking in a full or near full party, and cheating the game just to get them. passing around the flag, passing around the oddball, lining up to let a hog plow you and 4 other people over in a line. thats all boosting for achievements.

its games like this in your game history that will get you EXP banned, as for the 10 or 15 games you guys quit out of, im guessing you quit out because you weren't getting avalanche as a map.

how will the ban know the difference between, your in a game with a guest and you legitimatly get an achievement, and your in game with a guest and you cheat to get the achievment?

What about the other 'complain' thread? That one was funny...

That was for the compainers from New Flood to complain about the Flood's loss.

  • 09.29.2008 10:53 AM PDT

So if you play a game with friends, does the system only catch people if the same 4 people are always in the top?

There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

But...but...but...my kitten has a serious EXP-boosting problem but we are working through it together!! We're on step 6 of the 12-step program!!

Actually, I was wondering if you wanted input from the community on people we might run across that seem to have some "questionable" behavior. I understand that you are using an automated "banhammer" to check for irregularities in games, but if we run across some people who are obviously doing naughty stuff, do you want us to PM you about it or post it in here?

Just curious.

Going into a game with guests then dropping the guests out is a form of boosting.

Your lag justification doesn't explain why only guests dropped, while you and your friends were the only people that scored.

pg 2 and 3 of your game history shows 33 games of exp boosting.
