343i encouraging AFK boosting

Ever since reach they have said they would fix the XP system… Ever since reach it has ALWAYS been you complete the game you get the most points… No matter how well you do (except winning or loosing)… No matter how many kills you get… Deaths don’t matter… WTF IS THIS I THOUGHT NOBODY LIKES PARTICIPATION TROPHIES!!!

WHY NOT just make it more like Halo 3 (I am well aware that halo 3 didn’t have any req system or SR pa say and I will disregard anyone who says anything like I’m an idiot for comparing the two) and give WAY MORE points for ACTUALLY DOING THINGS rather than just being in a game???

Then maybe people will be more motivated to actually play the game as opposed to buying a turbo controller and holding the button down the whole game just to get a decent amount of REQ points.

i haven’t encountered anyone afking… is it that big of a problem?

AFKers are banned…

There’s an issue with rewarding players for doing things ingame, and that is selfish behaviour.

Giving equal rewards regardless of what people do then again leads to AFKing in some cases.

I’m reporting gamertags quite a lot more now for all kinds of reasons, and giving explanations as well. Then we can also wish for a better AFK detection system and better more creative punishments than straight out bans.

Not yet. Because not enough people know about turbo controllers or where to buy them. If they did I almost garuntee whole games would be this alone.

AFKs can receive bans, I wouldn’t worry too much about it, just report them.

True, but
A. CAN.

B. Why not? Just being in a game gets way more RP than actually playing it anyway.

Your solution has the same problem that you’re trying to fix

People who just sit there are banned, yes. But not anyone who buys a turbo controller and tapes a button down.

How? Literally makes no sense and I’ll prove it.

Make the RP reward for actually doing things (like getting kills and killing bosses and capping bases) what they actually should be as opposed to the pittance they give now and make the reward for just finishing less. Problem solved by installing motivation to actually play and get kills and kill bosses and cap bases ETC.

There is a huge thread about this saying its so bad. I just figure I’d shed light on why people want to do it.

Walmart sells them lol. They aren’t exactly a secret, and have been on the market for quite some time, like since 1992.

Well I almost garuntee that not many people know as much as you

The ban hammer is probably smart enough to know when people are trying to game the system. It takes many factors into account so it knows if your just sitting there spinning in circles or jumping up and down in one spot.

what does AFK stand for? a friend kill?

You might think but as I said before this is a thing. People do it (without getting caught).

Well considering there some around 25$, WAY cheaper than a standard, base controller, I’d say a fair amount of people actually.
