Subject: I Don't Understand Why People Derank

King of Living Dead

Derankers are the reason why so few people want to play Swat, Doubles, or MLG. Every time I see one I file a complaint for cheating because they are creating a booster account by deranking but they never seem to get banned. Microsoft simply does not care about derankers in Halo 3 or hackers in older Call of Duty games because those games don't make them any money.

A thread without a stupid video link! Even if it still a complete waste of space as usual.

Well, this is probably the millionth time this had been posted, but... people derank with their accounts so they can trick the system into thinking they are awful and have a 99% chance they are going to lose the match. However, once they have deranked enough and play on a team with a new account, the system doesn't expect the new account on the team with the booster to win. But, since both of the accounts are being played by good players, they win the match, and the system rewards the new account, thus, the new account ranks up extremely fast. Much faster than playing normally. This is why you see accounts with 50's in team doubles in 20 or less games.

With that being said, some people just derank to be douches. But the first case is more common.

Edit: In case I wasn't clear enough, the "deranker" or "booster" account goes to hell, and is used to boost a brand new account to 50.

I used to derank for money, people used to pay quite a bit for 50s, now I derank to help others out - a lot of my friends have new accounts and like to get boosted so I derank and let them use my boosters. I only derank doubles though and using 2 boosters I own, so it doesn't affect the other team too badly.

File Complaint's never work; i guess their just blank buttons with no effect at all....

File complaints do work, but enough people have to file ccomplaint so that Microsoft see it's a big issue. Most people are to lazy to file complete(me sorry)so they don't get caught.

Quit -blam!- stalking me you weirdo.

They aren't cheating, they are using a tactic made into a video game. Its an oversight by Bungie.

I don't understand the worth of ranks in the first place. It could be taken out of the game and nothing would change.

Agreed. I can't remember, did Halo CE and Halo 2 have ranking systems?

I'm not making excuses. I never claimed to be good. I have never played any colonel better than me though.

*facepalm*

Halo CE didn't even have multiplayer on the console, and yes H2 did have ranks.

Are you kidding? The forums would meltdown with tryhards proclaiming their need for the carrot on a stick known as rank.

REPORTED! i realy hope you get permibanned

My Halo 3 service record has several things that are incorrect. My KD is above 1.0 in both ranked and social, and I am a much higher rank. Also I have several perfections and my "player since" date is wrong because I have had Halo 3 since the launch date in 2007 (september 25 I think).

Boosting is pure (INSERT INSUALT)! I never see boosters in Team SWAT though. Only in Doubles and MLG.

I remember a while back, about a month or two before Halo: Reach came out, me and a few of my buddies that I used to regularly play with were "de-ranking" in Social.
