This is the story of how i got banned.I do not disagree with it. It is all my fault and i am glad that bungie over sees players to make a more enjoyable game.
My friends and i had a tough time getting the mythic achievments so we decided to fill up the playlist. It was me and three other people so we signed in our other controllers as guest to make the cut. We did not want to disrupt other players by doing this so we used the dummey guests for exta people.
With all spaces filled we beagan our shameful attempt at getting the achievments and after a few maps went by my screen flashed to a huge message from bungie. "Your console has been banned for two weeks from earning exp."
Well i can guess it looked like i was deranking or boosting. On my team i had all guest doing absoultly nothing. My other friends did not get the ban. So thats why i think it was deranking or boosting for the ban. Two of the dummey guests were mine. I got what i deserved.
We were not trying to disrupt anybody but the system is automated. I can still play halo but not earn exp. I am very glad that the ban i recieved was not severe. I will take my punishment and wait out the two weeks.
