Was just temporarily banned for 1 day, 18 hours and 20 minutes for idling in warzone (In my defense, if my team is losing by 400+ points, and the enemy only has 100 more score to go, and we’re getting hammered, what I am honestly supposed to do? Just run out and get slaughtered? Heck, I could honestly just grind another game and get stuck on that by the time it’s lifted)
At least with Halo 4’s and Halo Reaches ban, it lasted for 30min to an hour
Please note that I do NOT support idling. Heck, I hate when someone does it in arena >.>

Play the game perhaps?
I also count atleast 9 DNFs since the eleventh of this month.
Also, if I’ve understood the banhammer correctly, many bans will increase the ban time. So if you got one day and some more, it’s probably not your first rodeo.

If you admit defeat by idling, the end result is the same, a player who idles.

I admit that I have raged quit matches due to my team losing us the game to the point where it’s impossible to come back (also, friends have invited me to games)

Well there we go.
-Idling in warzone
-Rage quitting
-Leaving games because of invites
Being punished after already losing game that you can’t come back from… yeah, great, good incentive to keep playing 343. Back in Halo 3, you went down a rank, in Halo Reach you got banned for 15min. Now, you just give me the feeling of not bothering coming back. Congrats.

They’re not punishing you for losing a game, they’re punishing you for your playing attitude, which you’ve admitted to do when you start losing.
The game can’t determine when a game is actually lost, so it doesn’t matter how bad the scores are, we are all equally punished if we quit, disconnects, idle etc. Some matches can be salvaged by the losing team. If there was no punishment for idling or quitting when you’re not in the lead, do you think players would continue playing as soon as they think they can’t win?

Still says it’s a more harsher punishment then it should be. It honestly discourages playing the game making it for that long.

It only ever gets that long if you are repeatedly quitting, idling or AFK’ing. Each ban adds to the timer, so it will increase steadily the more times the hammer swings on you and it takes a lot to hit a ban that last over 1 day. If you’re not feeling the game, play it out and take a break. If someone invites you to another game, finish the one you’re on and then join. If you need to step away, try and wait until you’re finished your game the back out. The odd quit if you really need to jump off is understandable and won’t affect you as much as idling through 3 or 4 games
I don’t know why nobody pointed that out seriously… You have 61 DNF in little over 500 games. Let’s put that in perspective this is 11% quit percentage. Then you admit you are idling in game you know you’re going to loss because the score is awful and there is no way your team can win it.
Is your thread a joke? 11% quit percentage plus idling? Deserve it and enjoy your ban it is as simple as that
All those dnfs and then admitting they sit afk on purpose. This is just another person that deserved their ban. Nothing else to say. Ban hammer justice strikes again. These are my favorite threads to read on here now.
