Banned for 2 WEEKS.

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

So I recently played Halo 5 and on login, I was greeted with a “The Banhammer Strikes” message. Apparently I am banned for a whopping 2 WEEKS for being idle in Arena matches. This is an absolute lie, as when you check my stats on HaloTracker, I haven’t played a single Arena match in months. I was also banned with the same harsh two weeks in Warzone, the mode which I play most. I don’t know why, as was also not AFK there. I once got a temporary ban for 5 minutes for idling and was greeted with the “Wake Up, John” message. Still, I have no idea why I got this ban which basically prevents me from playing online at all, as I did nothing wrong in the past few months.

This is seriously annoying me, as I am basically forced to wait an extra fortnight before I can start grinding for max rank. It feels like the game really wants to prevent me from reaching SR 152. First, they remove the extra XP from Mythic WZFF, and now, I’m banned for half a month? Unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable.

I don’t expect this unfair ban to be lifted obviously, but I just wanted to vent and rant a bit.

Thank you for reading

You can review the information in the appropriate ban thread lined below.

Also when I review your recent games footage and see you either idling, using a rubber band or a macro, or the like I will clip it. Everyone can review your game footage. And what do you know first match i looked at. You probably worked harder staying and idling on the beach and trying not to get autokicked than if you just played the match.
