Temporary ban xp : D'oh!

Hello everyone,

Today I have lot playing Halo 4 in Matchmaking with 7 friends on Majestic maps.

Just now, I return to play Halo 4 and a message telling me: XP temporarily banned

Wow what a shock! This is the first time that I have this message since i play.

I supose that we have done something wrong in playing with my friends (it was mainly to get the new achievements).

Did you know how long time i will be XP banned ?
thank you and sorry for my bad english.

cordially.

I see nothing wrong here

I do not know why then…

Do you know how long the “temporary XP ban” ?

Boosting with 2 friends with 5 AFK guest accounts is a bannable offense.

Earn your commendations like a big boy.

The XP ban lasts a couple of days.

Learn your lesson! :smiley:

I did not know it was forbidden to do that… It’s just for the Achivement after all.

But I remember the lesson now.

Few days without XP? tough …

Thank you for your answer Gold Jacobson

No problem. Tell your friends. :wink:

I will spread the word to my friends.

It was just for an achievement? IT WAS JUST FOR AN ACHIEVEMENT? It’s called an “achievement” for a reason! Earn them the proper way. Achievements might as well not even exist because of all the boosting.

Relax Man; i did not kill the president.
We just won 3 or 4 Achievements. Nothing nasty.

People take some things a little too seriously on here, don’t worry.

I doubt you would have got banned for boosting achievements, because… How could they tell?

Were your friends AFCing? If so, they probably detetcted that and thought you were boosting commendations + EXP.

Don’t worry about it. At least you weren’t entering Matchmaking in a partial party and meeting up with randoms and spoiling their games.

What do you mean by “AFCing” Mairuzu1337 ?

I think killing spartan guest (1) (2) who does not move is the reason for my temporary ban XP.
But I understand and I accept the punishment, I do not do it again.

You can see my game history if you want (I have not played since)

I hope that my XP Temporary Ban will not be too long.
I want to play again…

The ban lasts for 48 hours (24 on Reach).

AFC means either nobody is using that account or they left the controller alone for a long period of time.

And please…

They are achievements for a reason. Get them by luck normally, go for them deliberately, but please don’t boost!

Ok, this is the reason for my XP temporary ban, so.

Yes I understand what you mean.
