Spartan Ops AFKer's Boosting? Problem Solved

I am not sure if this has been stated before, but many people have been cheating and going AFC (Away from Controller) in Spartan Ops only to get 5000-5950 free Experience without getting a single kill. (Episode 2 Chapter 5 actually rewards you with this much, I know its crazy) The reason why I am disappointed with this is because while this person isn’t doing anything, you are working your butt off EXTRA hard now to makeup for this person and now wasting more time then you should leveling up.

Solution to this would be to simply File a Complaint and Submit a Negative player review to this person. Filing a complaint will simply alert Microsoft that this player is cheating and abusing the system, there is an option that enables you to actually put that the person is cheating. Submitting a player review simply gives the player a bad reputation. Microsoft would actually contact this player and alert them with a warning and if the player continues to abuse the system, they will pay the price with Microsoft wrath (Microsoft would probably just ban them for some time}.

PLEASE READ BEFORE DOING THIS!!!

Now look, you need to be 100% sure that this player is abusing the leveling system because this can affect the players profile. Lets say you are in Spartan ops and your in the middle of the game and a player hasn’t even got 1 kill. You can assume that this player is cheating so far, but don’t be too soon to judge because I have seen this, but the player was only gone in the beginning due to an emergency. The player came back about 55% and started to get a lot of kills. What I am trying to say is wait until the very end of the match to make sure before you do anything.

Here an instruction on how to File a Complaint:

  1. View the person Gamer Profile, you can do this during the game by pressing and holding the back button and while doing that, scroll down the list with the D-pad and press Y on the person’s name. This isn’t the only way to do this step.
  2. Scroll down and select “File Complaint”
  3. Select “File Complaint” again
    4.In this situation, this person is cheating so go to “Tampering”
    5.Select “Cheating”
    6.Select “File Complaint” then you are done.

Here an instruction on how to Submit a Player Review:

  1. View the person Gamer Profile, you can do this during the game by pressing and holding the back button and while doing that, scroll down the list with the D-pad and press Y on the person’s name. This isn’t the only way to do step.
  2. Scroll down and select “Submit Player Review”
  3. Select “Avoid this Player”
  4. Select “Game Behavior”
  5. Select “Unsporting Conduct” (I think this would best fit the situation for this). You are done after that.

This doesn’t take very long, I can do them both in about a minute and please don’t say “That’s what She said”

Totally agree, however I made a post like this earlier (https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm1774309_Report-a-Player-Thread.aspx#post1774309) and it got shut down by a moderator…

I agree with the person as well, im SOOO sick of people doing that, I hate taking a lot longer just because a guy decides to go AFC and earn free experience. And I think that’s stupid for a moderator to have took down your forum, people should know about this. Microsoft did make this “File Complaint” system to catch people cheating…

The only problem with this is that the moderator most certainly takes down these forums because it basically teaches people to corrupt a persons profile if they hate them for the wrong reason. A lot of people are either jealous or hate certain people for stupid reason and would “Submit a negative player review” which is wrong. I wish people took this very seriously, unfortunately they don’t.

343 will most likely just look at this forum as the same as yours and take it down. They need to scare people again about not going AFK and boosting, I wish they put that in this week’s Bulletin.

The only reason I ever mentioned the idea in the first place was because Bungie had the exact same system I mentioned for Reach. But apparently its to revolutionary for 343 to handle.
