In what respect? Because the proof about your game history is right here on waypoint for all to see (3 DNFs in your last 10 games). If you mean about the refund thing, I guarantee you 343i are not the ones to approach for a refund. You would get no money from them and would have no legal grounds to sue them.

If you accidentally disconnect a time or two, you won’t get banned. Instead the system looks for patterns that can’t happen accidentally. If the banhammer detects enough wrongdoing, you were doing wrong.

Have you ever been banned for quitting before? The banhammer does not reset for good behavior, so if you have been previously banned for leaving games in the past, the banhammer might be more sensitive to you and may hand out additional bans if you quit even one game, since it thinks you have a habit of not finishing.

I’m wondering the same thing. I had to move my Xbox because of a crummy connection but after that I finished all my games. However, because I leave the lobby due to annoying players I get a ban and I don’t even know how long it is. Also, a warning would have been nice since I was dropping connection and not actually leaving the games (I assumed I was good until I fixed the issue).

Lastly, not to brag but I don’t quit games, I beat up on other spartans. Short of that, I like being beaten by better players, only way you can learn.

What I meant was I haven’t rage quit in a month

I like how this guy say I left 8 games on purpose but this regard dosnt know that at I completed a game and I got lagged out so u can show my history ok but those where from lagging so don’t lie and don’t say I raged quit. Bear we I wasted 100$ on this game so don’t lie like that again because something will happen I will tell the other 343 workers how ur lying about me so u better stop treating people like this and take this serious before u joke around with the wrong person

Yeah, that isn’t appropriate. A quit is a quit regardless of your reasoning or what you are defining as a ‘rage quit.’ The system doesn’t care why you quit. You quit repetitively and you were banned. You stated you hadn’t, I showed you had. There isn’t any reason to attack another community member. We come here of our own volition to help people who don’t understand why they are banned. I personally don’t appreciate it when people are knowingly dishonest. You quit, you deserve your ban. Abusing Chimera will not change that.

Yeah well I thought u where suppose to help people not be jeks to them in see ur not doing 1 thing

And what happens to my bonus content for getting limited edition I was suppose to get lotus that another thing I dint get u know what ill just ask another person because ur not helping anybody I don’t have time to spend with people like u

I’m not even sure what you are trying to say.

The Halo 5 limited edition came with some download codes for a req pack set, nightfall, and fall of reach. I’m not sure what you man by Lotus. Either way that seems like it should go in the main support thread, not the Ban thread. If you’d like to specify, I’ll see if I can help you.

Would hardly call that abuse. Maybe if the spelling had been correct…

The reason we didn’t mention how you got banned after you managed to complete a game is that your history shows a clear habit of quitting, so it is not surprising that you got banned. But just so you know in the future, the banhammer usually takes 1 game to catch up to you, so when you quit, you can expect the ban to go into effect after the next game you play.

My game keeps on kicking me out of games randomly and its been happening so much that i got banned. It takes me to the title screen and say ‘you left the fireteam’ but i wasn’t even in one to start with. Also with warzone it will randomly kick me out and take me to the matchmaking screen, which also got me banned. Is there anyway to fix the automatic quitting so i don’t get banned?

But here recently I don’t quit however, I lagout a lot and don’t know why because I have 100 mb Internet speed. My Internet should not be doing this. Anyways, should I be worried about a perma ban happening? I can have times with no issues for awhile, and when the Internet throws a fit the bans start up again. Most of the time the bans start over at like 2 minutes or something like that after a good period.

Bad behavior is bad behavior. Regardless of spelling.

I mean it was a pathetic attempt at an insult. Going so far to say he abused me… I wasn’t affected by the comment in the least, aside from having a good chuckle.

I was band on the second match in arena PLO lift my ban I got the game yesterday

Out of the 5 games you have played, you have quit 3. The system doesn’t forget your quits and it doesn’t reset, and the bans get longer each time.

I freaking quit out of a game once…so i could go make coffee and let my dogs out, came back, won a match…and they banned me immediately after winning a match…wtf is that garbage

I try to play a match and then it lags out. It says my fireteam has changed, yet im all alone. I restart H5, n next thing you know, im banned from arena.

This one time, at Halo 5 camp…

I was thinking of quitting because i fancied a nice cup of coffee, and the dogs needed to go out, but instead i held out for five minutes, finished the game, and once the game was over, i made a coffee and let the dogs out.

Simples.
