Subject: Will I be banned from Reach if I AFK too often?

So here's the deal: I'm just trying to get achievements (without boosting). But 1) I am sick of this game--for a number of reasons--(and the fact that they keep adding achievements when I think I've finished them all) and 2) I don't really feel like playing a match when I can't obtain a particular achievement in that gametype/on that map.

The people behind this game just want everyone to play as much as they can, which is why the opportunities for achievements are few and far between. Additional Achievement 99: Do something awesome in a gametype that shows up 10% of the time, on a map that shows up 5% of the time.. So frustrating!

I've already been banned from receiving credits (which I don't care about) so I'm wondering if I would receive a harsher punishment for not playing. It's not like I'm quitting matches or anything. As long as I'm not banned from matchmaking, I don't care what kind of punishment I get.

You will get banned.

Just play the game, achievements dont even do anything.

Well playing Reach doesn't "do" anything either. It's just a game.

But anyway, maybe I''ll just get one or two kills then idle :) But does anyone know definitively if Bungie (or whoever) issues MM bans specifically for people who idle? Because if they do, I won't. If they don't, then....

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

How will being AFK will earn you achievements?

Well I always avoid and report AFKers via the dash board, so if everyone else does the same try a xbox live ban.

If that worked I would of been banned a long time ago as I AFK my way to Inheritor.

The Xbox live moderation team only ban people if they use mods or temper with connections. They do not give out game bans, only Xbox Live bans.
