Banned for idling... without idling.

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I just finished my 10th game after returning from a 3 days ban for quitting (not reasonable but technical ok). After the game i was told i was banned for idling in matches, ban time: 7 days.
Facts:

  • I played all the 10 matches without putting the controller down for a single second. Beside bad teammates and awfull servers.
  • I will NOT accept this ban.
  • My mainaccount got temporarly banned on the forums so i’m posting this with my GFs account
    I expect instructions by a mod how this issue will get resolve.

All games are recorded and saved so if you need proof i played completely by the rules, theres no problem to provide this.

I’m having a ban problem as well… I was in the middle of a game and I put down my controller to use the bathroom. When I come back and finish my game it says that I’ve been banned for idling. I understand that idling is annoying, but being banned for 1 and 1/2 hours is alittle extreme. The most aggravating part is that I know if I were to do this again, it would just increase until I’m banned forever! I’m sure there is tons of people who this has happened too. It’s just unfortunate that the people that are supporting this game are getting banned for such minor accidents. I would really appreciate if the devs would just take a look at the ban system in halo 5.

I wonder if you are camping out a corner waiting for enemies if it gets counted as idling

I just got banned for idling as well. Does anyone want to buy my xbox one / controllers? 2.5 months of use.

How do you get rid of the ban?

Please see the ban thread pinned at the top of the forums for help with matchmaking bans and also note that we don’t allow selling or trading goods on the forum, thanks.
