My Account Was Backdated, Lost Ranks?

I got on halo MCC a few weeks ago, to my surprise i had lost over 2000 xp on my account, but i also wen’t down from a 19 to a 13 in H2a, i went from a 18 to a 13 in H2c, from a 30 to a 27 in H3, and a 19 to a 13 in Team Doubles. I keep track of my account as i play every single day, and was a 50 in most playlist before the rank reset, i always know pretty much my EXACT multiplayer kills, and of course my ranks. My account has not been edited to the extent every rank was set down randomly. It/'s been backdated/backlogged to an earlier period. Because i can remember having the same ranks and xp i do now from the backdate that i had at an earlier period. As i said i keep up with and remember all my ranks and account k/d ratio. I have always thought i was sabotaged by a 343 developer or someone at Microsoft. I’ve experienced insane issues for a good year or more now. Maybe i said something that really cut through to someones emotions. I am a psychologist. So it’s easy for me to do. Anyhow i believe my account has been sabotaged by someone within. “haha have your laughs” But i’m being completely serious. Even my friends have noticed a shift in the game entirely when searching with me. etc. Now my account has been backdated, and i can’t seem to find any information that this has ever happen to ANYONE else but ME. PLEASE HELP!?! Also every time i post a thread about this issue, 343 keeps deleting it. Suspicious enough for me!

Can you give me a date & time window to look at to see if I see any inconsistencies in the matchmaking feed on the backend? Has there been a specific time where you logged in and saw this difference?

Yeah, it’s been about 3 weeks ago, possibly a month in full. I got onto my account and noticed it had been backdated, i wasn’t having any issues the night before. I just woke up, got on and it was backdated. I haven’t payed MCC since, and it was my most played game. it was probably around October 22nd-26th if i had to guess. If you can look at when i made my last post on here about the backdate, it was that day or the day before that it happened. Thanks for getting back to me, I’ve been ignored on this issue for awhile it seems.

You definitely should find inconsistencies unless someone covered their trail. Just look at what my ranks were 3 weeks or so ago compared to now in each playlist, and my xp. I would’ve had to quit or lose tons of games in each playlist to go down to what i have, and even quit out tons to lose xp. You should be able to see where i haven’t even played probably more than 5 games since this happened to me, so it’s impossible that i myself lost my ranks.

Any News?

Sorry, haven’t been able to look at this, because the fuzzy dates will mean I have to parse wider ranges of data. I will try to get to this next week to try to figure out what happened.

I found multiple examples of this in your history, and when investigated, you did quit to earn the rank loss. The penalties caught up to you and made it look like you went backward in rank when you won.

Impossible. I couldn’t of quit enough to earn that loss and 2000 xp loss. If so it shows how bad your game is faulty if it took it months and months to calculate what games i have quit and hit my account all at once. Pretty crappy system. This is the type of stuff that makes you all lose your fans. Most my quitting is do to playing with bots and team mattes that are inactive, and you forced objective onto every playlist so i can’t search alone without getting team mates that quit and instantly the games over. Congratulations. Losing another HUGE halo fan, 50 in all games, played for 13 years or longer. Sad to see such pettiness and incoherence in my favorite game. Either way. I did not quit enough to go down 4-5 ranks in over 3 playlists. I’m sure you would find a way to validate it before admitting your system failed or someone there is sabotaging me. Either way i have enough common sense to know better.

BTW i can’t raise the level of seriousness behind forcing objective onto EVERY playlist. Basically we all have to always have a full team in everything to play. Or it’s just a one step forward one step back process when your teams leave or don’t play, Because YOU ALWAYS NEED A FULL TEAM FOR OBJ. idk why it’s so hard to understand that. I made multiple threads and had people backing me the day of the update release. it’s simple, Bring back VETO so the current amount of players searching can decide what to vote based on their team, obj, slayer, etc. Or seperate obj into it’s own playlist like in original h3, simple!!. If this is fixed i might come back, otherwise, cya.

Taking out the emotion to your statements, you say you “couldn’t of quit enough”. From 9/7 to 11/20 you have quit 111 games before completion. Each one of these applies penalties to your account that are dealt with the next time you complete a game. These stack, so if you quit two times in a row, the penalties increase for the next time you complete a game.

Your next statement of how faulty and taking months to calculate is an incorrect statement, as stated immediately above the penalties accrued between successive quits in a ranked playlist are applied when a player completes their next game. While this could span months if someone had just quit every game, that is highly unlikely.

With the new automated banning system enforcing quits, hopefully your experience will be better for fewer of your teammates/opponents in a game quitting. You are right, that this was a problem… people knew and complain that it is a problem, and then quit themselves which further reinforces the problem. By quitting, you are feeding the problem. Anyhow, because people try to maximize their time against others and quit, we now have the auto ban system.

Now in regards to your next statement of value, “I did not quit enough to go down 4-5 ranks in over 3 playlists.” Here is an example of your history in H2A Ranked Arena (H2ARA).

There one problem with the below timeline is that it is showing all your quits across ALL playlists. They are solely there to show the quits that support the penalties being applied. The Penalties are tracked via session, so their timestamp will be from the session, not the specific quit time. Additionally, they are applied on the next completed game, not inbetween matches, as no equation occurs when you are not playing a game.

The format of the table is the Server Timestamp in UTC time, the type of line item it is, the playlist it is referring to, the Rank of the game, and the result of the session. Sorry for waypoint not supporting tables, I have tried to make this as readable as possible.

For example: The first line is you winning a game of H2ARA ending with a Rank of 15. You then have several quits, but none of them in H2ARA, as no penalty is listed. Then you play H2ARA again and get another win and a boost to Rank 16. Then you quit some more games, including a game of H2RA which causes you to lose a rank on the game you played on 9/18. I have pasted the results for the rest of your play in this playlist until current, which looks like you will occur another penalty when you complete your next game. I don’t know if it will be enough to drop you in rank. Looking at each of your top playlists, all of this data is in order. I have highlighted each of the penalties and the game they were applied.

I hope this helps give some clarity into your situation.

In regards to your other post, hopefully Match Composer will allow you to play more games and game types that you want to play. As for not having a team in objective games, are you completely opposed to playing them in a playlist? The full team problem will hopefully be addressed with people learning not to quit.

.

Looks like we have all the info we need here.

I feel the same at this point. Puts objec into each playlist -> causes quitters -> penalize quitters with timeouts -> people leave = success?
