Matchmaking was experiencing issues last night; read this blog post for more details-

They said that the issues were fixed, but some users are still having troubles. Also, if you've been EXP banned, you will receive various messages telling you so.

Like many of us I got the exp ban with two friend and 5 guests that were AFK. While I am disapointed for getting the ban I still feel it a bit injust. it was social FFA and I in no way had to manipulate the game in order to do it. Will microsoft ban me from live if I boost in scene it?!

I cant help but feel like I've been baited into the ban in order to make an example. On the plus side it does give me hope that the serious ofenders are going to be delt with. Playing social in my opinion should be for this sort of thing or it shouldn't be an option.

I guess I didn't understand all of the forms and reasons that people have been cheating. Why would I want Exp without trueskill? grade 4 comander is not my goal.

I got band on DLC FFA for winning allot of exp in a row.

You were minpulating the system by taking in guests and leaving them afk so you could aquire a large amount of kills/medals/exp.

Playing in social with guests is an option, but your extorting that option by bringing in afk guests for the slaughter.

After reflecting on I can understand the violation. however we honestly just wanted an oddball game. our objective was not kills/medals or exp. I understand that the system can't determine our intent. so it all should be assumed true. I just thought that the banning would be more focused on the serious and legally questionable ofenders. do social medals, k/d really matter? to the point of banning loyal supporters who are strongly against the rank boosters who manipulate the system to a point that it deters others from enjoying a MM game?

To some its all about he medals and the their k/d spread, others its for achievements, and some for more serious crimes. Achievements are suppost to be hard to get, earning them was the idea of the achievements for every game. If you were just to 'boost' all achievements on all games then no game would have them and they would be given out to everyone.

I recently recieved a file share ban on my account. I recieved no message(I don't know if I was supposed to recieve one). One day I logged on and couldn't watch anything in theatre, or my file share and I couldn't play with user-created varients. I was just wondering the reason behind my ban. Im looking for clarification not people who go "lol banned". that helps nothing. If you decide to post that I emplore you to look at my fileshare your self and decide if I should have recieved a ban. My file share is the same as it was the day they banned me. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Thank you. I didn't mean to jump all over you or anything. I would just like to understand why.

  • 10.03.2008 8:49 AM PDT

I think I may have been wrongfully exp banned, I was playing DLC FFA with friends, and 4 guests, these guests did play from time to time. That must be why we got exp banned, i didn't know playing with friends in a FFA list was boosting. Now if it is, please ignore this post and let me wait out my ban. thanks in advance.

You boosted, innocence DENIED.

alright so playing with 4 guests is boosting? Guilty.

I just wanted to know if that was why i got exp banned. thanks, warning received and lesson learned. haha

  • 10.03.2008 9:08 AM PDT

Shishka HELP!

I was ABSOLUTELY flabbergasted when I saw that I was banned. I did a little research and found out this is what occured:

I know it has already been said that I am responsible for people playing on my xbl account. But on Wednesday this week I was at the library (studying for 4 painful engineering midterms) and my roommate and his friends were playing on my xbox. They started matchmaking when there was a call for free pizza on my floor. They all left with matchmaking running when I was partied up with two other people. I checked the records and this only continued for a total of 3 games (at which point they returned) where my account and two guests didn't move.

I am a loyal halo patron and in fact Halo 3 is the only game I own (2 copies at that). Like you, I don't appreciate people who boost or cheat in any form.

Given that it wasn't me and given that it wasn't done with the intention of boosting by me or my roommate I hope you will excuse me this one time. I will password protect my account so as to avoid future problems. I hope bungie will reconsider my ban.

Please email me: pkalidin@purdue.edu

no playing with four guests who don't play is boosting.
