Also, the confusion that came from 'Full Party Boosting' was the word 'Boosting'. Say what you will, but going into a full party without any idlers is in no way 'Boosting'. Boosters are not able to boost without at least one person sacraficing their k/d, not getting kills, etc.
Ferrex should have been clear from the start...
"Playing with a full party" = OK!
"Boosting with a full party" = NOT OK!
Saying "Full Party Boosting is ok because it doesn't effect other players", naturally caused people to think that guests don't have stats, so boosting with a full party of them was perfectly fine.
It wasn't until people complained about it on the forums, did Bungie "clarify".
Yeah, this was news to me too. Although I think this update clarified that people using "idle" guests in the party would be punished, not the players/guests getting low k/d due to the boosting.
It's a shame, really; I sometimes fell back on the idle guest party boosting to get some of those tough (kill 1000 enemies) challenges. xD
