  • Subject: The only "omg I gut EXP banned for NO RAISON" thread

I had a friend on my friends list called i think wwwmods4salecom or just modsforsalecom but he changed his gamertag.I got banned because he was hostbooting without telling me he just invited me to play with him in team slayer and he also invited one of my other friends to.What happend was we won 5 matches in a row or something near that number but after those matches he quit because he got banned but me and my friend went off to.The next day i played one game of team swat and won then i got banned permenently when I didnt do anything wrong and what happend was everyone on mod4sales team even me got banned permenently I think theres something wrong with the banhammer.

NOTE:I know this is to long so dont cry about it being like that in a comment.Also I need an answere onto why this happened.

You answered your own question. You were part of a host booting team. Guilty by association. Didn't you think it was weird people kept quitting out? Playing the ignorance card isn't going to remedy the situation. "I didn't know he was host booting" is not a valid excuse. The fact that you claim it was a permanent ban leads me to believe that it isn't your first offense.

You are right not being critical isn't grounds for a ban. Not being critical, however, caused you to participate in a bannable offense and I am fairly positive with a good deal of common sense that it was never ok to have modded content on your fileshare. Maybe you misread what you saw at the time but modded content has never been ok. Maybe you thought when mod's said budget glitched maps were ok as modded content. I believe thats something entirely different, but anyways I digress. If you were looking for a sympathetic pity party ("Preferably someone who can see things from my point of view!") you obviously came to the wrong place. As for warnings they were constant and noticeable, even in game.


Alright...I guess I'll have to take a side at some point.

I do know the difference between a budget glitched map, and a modded map. I spend most of my time IN forge. That's why I downloaded those stupid maps in the first place. I though you could forge them.

Anyway, as for warnings, the only warning in-game was one of the random tips that you get when searching in matchmaking. I did not see that tip, because I forged more often than did matchmaking. But, whatever. I'm pretty sure that I didn't misread anything, but maybe what I DID read was wrong.

I was able to go this far without the fileshare, I guess I can keep going. But at least understand me when I say: If I had known that it was bad, I would not have done it at all. That's all I'm trying to say now.

you get banned from boosting like your doing matchmaking then you do grifball you have 8 people in your game you start and only let [lets say] blue team win you get 50 EXP eventually you see a message that says you are bannes from getting banned from earning EXP for 2 weeks and takes away some EXP


50? Hah, no, I had an 8 man party and I got xp banned after 7 games, 2 of which I won... (i wasn't boosting but hey, the game is about enjoyment, not raising a number)

So, your saying you're friend used the bathroom for like 10minutes?

And, Even if he did, surely there would have been more people in the party, or did they all go to the bathroom too.?

Ok so pretty much your telling me you got banned because your friend to the washroom, and yet there was still 4 other people there? and they were'nt doing anything?

Dude, iv seen LAME excuses, but your's is just, Fail.

Foman posted this game in your first thread.

Survey says?

More wrongdoings.

I see achievement boosting here

And the list goes on.

No sympathy from me.

Did he fall in and you continued to play without him? One game isn't every now and again with an "AFK" guest isn't going to get you banned...nice try.

Excuses, excuses.

You got banned for a reason.

  • 03.11.2009 8:37 PM PDT

I say make it easy on yourself. Do not play with guest. I do not see what the hell is the point of boosting. The fact that you try to get to a higher level means what exactly? NOTHING!

Pointless as it is. People who boost need to get a life and play for fun. Have fun getting banned and making life easier for everyone. Jerks...

Oh and please do not blame your "friends" or "family" i do not think anyone in this forum wants to hear about how your mommy can standby or boost and you cannot. We are not mourns...[/teabag]

(hope i do not get blacklisted for expressing my thoughts on cheating...)

Hey, what if I play with people who are absolutely pathetic. What if I handed two of my controllers over to a 9 year old and a 7 year old, and the people I was partied up with did the same. There would be no chance of losing, and yet the guests would be played. Would this be a bannable offense?

I am pretty sure Bungie can tell when shots are fired. If you are playing with childern that cannot fire a weapon, I may suggest Tetris.

The more we know, the more we take advantage of the system. Nobody trusts us. Don't expect answers.

How can you get in even more trouble if your permanently banned? What are you going to do Shiska, send us a C4 in our mail?

Wow...I don't know what your basis for this statement is but yeah...if you are permanently banned you don't have the means to get in more trouble...

Hi, ok, I got exp banned for 2 weeks for boosting the legendary achievements. No problem. Didn't know what I was doing was "boosting" or a big deal but ok, I admit I did it. it's just a video game and how does me finishing an achievement list on a game I've already bought and paid for have anything to do with the other people playing? Who exactly am I cheating? Do I get some advantage over others by completing the achievements? and 2 weeks seems a bit much for someone with a perfectly clean record, but whatever rules are rules. I just won't spend another penny on bungie. I will play this game cuz I own it but won't buy another, not like they care.
What I really want to know is how come I can't get achievements now? Didn't think they had anything to do with the exp ban. Did the ones for the first three levels where you have to get 15,000 points. My friend I was playing with(not exp banned) got the achievements and I did not.

Is this normal?

Thanks.
