They can ban me for exp boosting which is what they are calling it but not achievements.


Just wrong. They, obviously, can.

Id like to give you credit on this post.
I have played halo 3 since it came out, although i have had a long intermission due to hardware failure and my laziness to send my xbox in. I dislike the people that call themselves professional and true gamers by getting a lot of friends to help cheat on achievements. I play with my friends a lot, i rarely get on matchmaking with a buddy or two. I thought about using friends to help with achievements, who hasnt. im just glad i never took myself up on that offer. People who use friends and other random people to get achievements might as well just mod halo to give them the achievement. its facing the same situation. as for those who are innocent im glad you are giving them a chance to post away and solve the problem.
that is all, thank you.

Show me where it says they can ban you for playing a social match with friends and getting achievements at the same time. No they banned me for exp boosting when i got two exp; not achievement boosting.

For Carnage Apply Within

They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools! — they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace
-Pádraig Anraí Mac Piarais

Ok guys, I got EXP banned.
And unlike most of the people in this thread I take full responsibility for my actions.

Will getting EXP banned also get us banned from getting Recon when you get all the vidmaster challenge achievements?

I would take full responsibility too if i played 8 games of grifball, won everyone of them, and went positive 384. I however got a whole two exp off my apparent boosting.

Achievement boosting ends up looking a lot like EXP boosting. Its the action that got you banned not the intent.

That is taken into consideration and the system accounts for it. Shall I go into your game history and see that all the guests got killed on the spawns?

There has been no word from Bungie on this question that I am aware of.

All Hail The Crimson King. Tank Dempsey Lives On!

Nobody has answered my question yet. Why have I been banned from matchmaking permanently? I have no modded content and I have done nothing against the code of conduct. So why have I been banned. You guys have even checked my gamertag and said I was clean and you guys would un-ban me but that hasn't happened yet. I want to download mythic and legendary but I don't think it's worth it without matchmaking...

double post....By the way I didn't even get a warning I automatically got Perma-banned with out a two week ban or anything. I'm also banned from file share....

The name's Ian, Game Designer at Whisper Game Studios, very off-and-on Bungie.net visitor and avid Bungie fan overall. Message me if you wish.

I was banned and I know why... I got it outta the way at least... Once my bans lifted I have no other reason to boost... I JUST WANT MY COMMANDER BACK!

ScottyKai look at that, the Banhammer doesn't care that if you happened to get achievements, it cares if that you won so many games with the same other team who got little to no kills, I see that now that is why I am banned.

So next time make sure those guests that are some "bad" get some kill so you don't get banned, because i'll be the first one to admit there were no one playing on my guests.

cookie has responded to you each time you have come on here complaining asking you questions and you have yet to respond (tells me you are hiding something). Which Bungie employee told you that they would unban you? Modded content would't ban you permanently from matchmaking only your fileshare. Anywho, permanent matchmaking bans are serious business so I will assume that you did some serious host booting or something.

If you didn't get a message telling you that you have been banned you aren't. Sometimes the stat trackers get backed up give it some time.

Well it doesn't say i'm hiding stuff it says i'm on a shared computer and get constantly kicked off. I can't remember which Bungie employee said that because it was a while ago before I found this website. I started coming to this website a little bit ago because I wasn't unbanned like that person said. I didn't do any boosting to get my rank up or anything of that sort. (I honestly don't care about my rank all I care about is achievements and being able to play social with my friends.)

I wasnt exp boosting. I gained two exp. I dont see how that can be considered boosting. I didnt win the games. We played the games, and i didnt win most of them. I want to see in the terms of service that i agreed to where what i did was wrong. Does this also mean that people should be banned for sharing skulls since you basically just let the other person with you get the achievement? Because that could be considered cheating too since you didnt actually find it yourself.
