Dear Bungie Employees,

My name is Dan Wylie, and I am 15 years old. I have recently received a message on my xbox 360 console about being banned from receiving EXP for 2 weeks.

Normally i wouldn't fret about this, because i currently have a second account that is not currently banned, but in this case my console has been banned also, and i would love to receive Recon as a sign of the completion of the recently released Vidmaster achievments. I think it is wrong, because i dont think i have done anything wrong, and would greatly appreciate the removal of this ban.

Respectfully,
Dan Wylie
Dann474


i think you can still get recon

but if you can't, who cares. By then everyone will have it and people will get sick of it

It's not yet possible to legitimately have all of the vidmasters. You won't be able to get Brainpan until the next three maps are released, and there are going to be 3 more in Halo 3: ODST that you'll have to get to unlock recon too.

And your experience ban comes from your experience boosting. You earned it.

My other account was Banned from getting Exp.
I made an account today. Now, people are questioning that I'm not getting Exp.

I hope this doesn't get me banned.
Plus my Ethernet was unplugged today.
So, I have -1 Exp now. People are going to think I'm "Negative Boosting" or...
whatever.

I'm not contesting a ban... but I've been wondering.
Normal boosting is where you join a game and all your guests (on your team?) leave, right?
What's language boosting? O.o

  • 03.27.2009 5:57 AM PDT

I luv cupcakes :3

i think you should remove "look only for people with my language"
Thats how they cheat.

Id suggest the next few games that can earn you exp, you dont quit, what ever the results of the match.

Id say you've been flagged on the system, and continuous games leading to you losing exp "might" get you banned.

Language boosting, is getting a group of people, to select a language (Usually one that a region hardly play halo 3, but is still a language section on xbox live)

Then putting each player as "prefeared played" allowing them to match up against each other.

PAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
That was the STUPIDEST post I have EVER seen.
AHAHAHHA. Wowwwww, you might want to edit that dynamo.
They werent boosting, they quit out of maybe 5 matches, and played real matches?
Wow, get your facts straight before you kiss Bungie's ass kid.



How about these games?

The team mate that you had is obviously a quit booster. In fact, he still only has 8 total experience. I have found multiple other games that you played with the same guy in both team slayer and doubles. Now get off of the forums QUIT BOOSTER!!!



more games with quit boosters.

This guys has -81 exp

Lmao, since when do people get called boosters when they weren't purposely trying to boost and they get matched up with a neg booster account honestly...

The booster, and boostee both get banned, not one, not the other, both.

I just got off my experience ban for achievement boosting. Then when I log in, my Xbox was on standard definition and I didn't realize this until mid game and it was annoying me really bad. So I went to my console still in game and I switched it over to High definition. When I logged back on, I got Experience banned for absolutely no reason except for switching definitions. I now know that when you switch the definition it restarts the console, I thought that it would just re-render the game for me. Any way I could get this irrational ban to be lifted?

All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved

He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.

He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.

When is Bungie going to take REAL actions against cheaters and quitters?
This is a very real problem in team games and the current punishment is not nearly harsh enough.
I would recommend taking away rank and total achievements as a start. If you a 50 and quit your now a 49 have a nice day. If you quit five times you should not be able to play that game variant in the future. This is a simple solution to a very persistent problem with Halo 3 online.

What, I served my time, got one DNF due to a logical error and I get banned.

As for the guy who posed above this, they cannot take away achievements.

The system works a little bit better than that.

That encourages quitting to de-levelers, and it is not logical for Bungie to limit people to certain playlists. The current banning system is adequate give it a chance to work.

This is when I got the unjust experience ban number 2.

If you look, this is when I got the first EXP ban.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=102365 4423&player=velicoraptors


This is not the same ban, because when I logged on, the annoying message saying that I have been banned.

  • 03.27.2009 12:41 PM PDT

I'm not going to bother with broken links. Something tells me with your admitted history that this current ban is justified

How so? I changed the display settings on my console and it restarted instead of re-rendering so by my new experience I get banned? Doesn't make sense to me.

Your problem is thinking you got banned for something Bungie can't detect. You got banned for questionable matchmaking practices that I am sure you are privy to with your priors.

One game would not get you banned, into the game history I go.

You

These Games?

Most of my game leaves are from getting booted or previously commited to switching a party and I leave a game before it starts.

Could= That is messed up, I should have like 35 Kills because my guest booted the other team due to betrayal.

You = I was in the lobby and I told them that I would only camp. Their team got tired of waiting and left except for DemonCB

Explain = I can't explain that

These = I was on fire that game

Anyways, why would I boost when I was EXP banned? It makes no sense at all.

While there are booster and neg exp quitters out there, how likely do you think you are to get paired up with them? I have maybe been paired up with a quit booster once in over 4k games. and you have been paired up more than 5 times in 397 games? I am not a big fan of coincidences, but this goes beyond likelihood. These games definitively show that you were exploiting system. There is no refuting this evidence and any attempt to do so is futile at best.

Go argue with the logic of the rules.... nevermind, you won't get anywhere with that either, especially intention does not determine the outcome. Many bad things have been done with good intentions.

You will find no pity for you on these boards, particularly with these games on your record.

Also, If you have to add "honestly" to your post, people are even less likely to believe you.

Help other people boost. Just because you were already banned doesn't take you off the hook.
