I rofl'd pretty hair at the title of this.
I don't think there should be something like this,if people are banned,they are banned,they deserved it and it is their own fault.

Rhyvos

Just to clarify The Staff Captian Rhyvos was boosting. Not Smunkey 665. She was at work and never won any of the games. I feel this this new system is flawed. Yes I got caught. That is fine. With over 990 exp earned honestly it does not harm me much. But look st some of my older games. On the last grifball double Exp weekend. I was in a party of 3 and the system would pair us with a party of 5. Every time it did this our fourth player would "try" to betray us for thier team to get a win. My party of 3 won about 50 games. Everytime we would get a betrayer on our team we would report them. Have any of these people been caught. Probibaly not. If anything I think that the new system needs to be harsher and look for more boosters. But as a booster I am fine being lable as so. Not everyone in my party was busted. But Smunkey 665 was not boosting.

^Nice essay but I believe her GT was still an accessory of the crime... maybe you can get a plea bargain if she testifies against you...

Poor sportsmanship is not a bannable offence, sure these people are anoying as hell, but its still not a bannable offence.

Both Gamertags were used to be boosted. You got banned. The system works, and your proof it does.

Ok shishka you are my only hope. I got console banned. Let me start out by saying that i am one of those hardcore fans that have been playing the series since the start. Ok i didn't cheat at all, but i was a little naive to think that the matchmaking system would match me together with the same people 7 times. After about the 3rd time i put avoid these players so i would not be matched up with them again. Eventually we were all able to play against real people. Or people that dont quit out when the game starts. Now i realize what happened and i guess people have the power to host boot or whatever. Honestly i dont even know how to do that nor do i ever want to know how to do that. I have played my favorite game for like 2000 games or maybe less but i have never had a problem except for lag. Now i guess i still typing because i just want to know if you'll give me my account back. Be reminded that i bought this system solely for the purpose of playing halo3 and thats the reason why i bought the xbox live account too.

?

I don't know if this is the right thread for this, but seeing as it's about the EXP bans, I thought I might post about it.

In this game, my friend and I encountered these two guys with 0 EXP and several games played. They weren't even playing throughout most of the game, they were just dicking around. They then quit at right before the end of the game.

Just posting about it because I don't want to get banned because some idiots are pulling this whole new stat boosting framing thing.

Last reply to you, then I will leave you to Shishka. No one was host booting, they were language filter boosting.

Graveling at Shishka and telling him your a huge fan is not going to help.

He might be right about the language filter boosting thing. I don't understand a lot of this but i figured they were host booting because we never got a chance to play them. I don't understand either method of cheating. I guess thats because i have never cheated before and i never will.

With the research I have been doing, out of all 4 of the Negative Exp boosters, not one team has been paired up with them for 8 games consecutively.

The odds of this happening, are "very" unlikely if not impossible (Legitametly)

Shishka please reply to the messages i sent you. Ever heard that expression better to let a hundred guilty men free then to prison one innocent man. This has never seemed so true to me then right now.

By the way shishka I am posting in another thread about this and someone brought this to my attention. The guy we were playing against is a level 46 with negative 5000 exp points. Maybe this makes it clear to you that i havent been cheating.

I just wanted to say that i wont be as naive in the future when or if you give me my account back. If i'm in a party a the rest of them look as if they get lagged out then i'll leave my party immediately.

why would the people quitting for negative exp randomly decide to help him? you realize they were quitting many games before they ran into in4thawin right? they were most likely afk, and if they werent it doesnt matter, they quit before the game even starts so there is no oppertunity to party up


They werent AFK, 8 consecuative games to too many for random selections, meaning boosting must have been involved.

seriously when language filter boosting is such a problem then take it -blam!- out of halo matchmaking.otherwise i am forced to say bungie isnt that great in creating online games when they create things before they think about the consequences.

You set your language filter via the dashboard, Halo will match you up on language from the dashboard settings, the game doesn't know any different with regards to MM, it just tries to get other players who speak your tongue all cosy and playing together - after all, it would be useless if your language was English, but you were paired up with people from Uzbekistan.

Banhammer will, if you are using it to exploit either achievements, or are using it to boost, catch you out using this exploit.

Awesome, I told you about the language one Cookie of Chaos but I guess Bungie has a hold on it. I beleive it would be a Microsoft problem not a Bungie problem Braindeath and I doubt it's going to change be cause they would loose a large market.


Language trick has been there since 1-3 months of halo's release, ive known about it for ages.
I also know the prefered language boosters use.

(P.s its chinese, ive never understood why)
