If 343 made Firefight pay out way more credits than Grifball, then boosters will just play that instead. If they prioritized Score Attack then that would be even better. Firefight Limited might actually become a thing again, and Grifball would be played as intended. Everyone wins!
Just setting the Performance Bonus to zero would fix everything. It’s not because they’re gaining more Cr, it’s because they enjoy being fun breakers.
The reason why they also gain alot of Cr is because they make the game last as long as possible. The longer you’re in a game, the more Cr you get. Setting the Performance Bonus to zero would fix this.

Another viable solution is for 343 Industries to remove the Performance Bonus System from Reach Grifball (Or Code it to a hard 0 if they cannot remove it). No performance Bonus system, no incentive for ‘Peace Games’ or being a ‘Monitor/Spectator’ in a game that does not actively give such a feature (Unlike Halo 5: Guardians, which does). Remove the incentive, the core issue at hand, the the cheaters have no system to boost with and are forced to play the game as intended by the developer to legitimately earn the rank of Inheritor and the Haunted Helmet if they mean so much.
Then comes the question “Well, won’t they resort to spawncampkilling (Different from Spawntrapping) and camp the enemy spawn to statpad (Boost Kill to Death Ratio) and boost cR and Commedations?”. Well in this case, the LIVE Report feature works wonders when a player is cheating via boosting (Through methods not intended by the developer for personal gain in a wayand/or rate that is not possible through normal legitimate gameplay) as well as griefing a players’ game (As well as ruining the quality of LIVE services for those individuals) and being unsporting. Their account is flagged and the LIVE Enforcement Team can decide whether or not to issue a manual console ban from Reach and/or Xbox LIVE. Reporting on the Xbox One is much better as well as you can add a description for the Enforcement Team of what happened as well.
If the issue at hand is fixed as much as possible (And it should be by 343 Industries as Bonnie Ross did state on Twitter that 343i does care for both Classic and New Halo, as well as the Stance Bravo and Ske7ch took on the Halo 5 Warzone Farming situation back in 2015 that made Gamespot headlines, basically showing 343 Industries is against boosting and farming and deem it cheating and unsporting) by 343 Industries, then the focus wouldn’t have to be switched to other gametypes, as the focus would be on the issue at hand if they were to do, and properly resolve it.
Don’t get me wrong, Firefight Limited is fun with the right people (Not people who want you to end the game when you are Last Man Standing and get upset when you get Hero and they respawn), and Score attack is also great, but the issue at the core should be fixed rather than shifting the attention of cR payout from one gametype to another.
Or they could just increase the credit payout of all playlists…

I could agree with this to an extent. I don’t think 15,000 to 20,000+ cR should be the standard payout for a 12-20 minute game in matchmaking however. Maybe an increase to 2,000 to 3,000 cR compared to the 900 to 1,500 average per game we earn now through legitimate gameplay(Some games you get lucky with a good Slot Machine Payout and exceed this, or in extremely rare cases get a Slot Machine Jackpot payout of 3,000 or more cR), but not to the extent of what people who choose to ignore CoC and ToU boost by cheating the system with ‘Peace Games’ or worse Spawncampkilling in Grifball matchmaking.
Regardless, in some iteration, this issue of ‘Peace Games’ in Reach’s Grifball Matchmaking needs to be fixed, and honestly if 343 Industries ever does get around to fixing it due to their stance on Boosting and Farming, I hope it is the removal of the Performance Bonus System or setting it to a hard 0, as this would be a very strong showing of what they have stated in the past, backed up with action like with what they did with Halo 5’s Warzone Farming issue.
