The system determined you had an inordinate amount of games where you were AFKing and boosting XP and gave out what it felt was an appropriate ban.

No one is going to have more specific answers than that.

Why is xp boosting considered now bannable And/Or scorrect in halo?

My guess would be because for numerous games you were intentionally being unsupportive to your teammates by not playing and you were manipulating the idle boot system which would’ve booted you if you were legit AFK and replaced you with someone who would’ve played the game.

It always has been. Idling in particular can be seen as a form of griefing. You’re forcing your team to go without a man thus making things harder on them while you sit and either feed the enemy kills or simply contribute nothing. There are reasons that h5 has an autoboot and ban after a certain period of time. As for XP/Rank boosting. That has been a bannable offense for as long as they’re have been bans in Halo. Attempting to artificially inflate your rank (or succeeding) has always been wrong, regardless of whether that is the competitive rank or the social rank. People work hard to gain both of those and people don’t get to devalue their ranks by achieving them through less reputable means, nor do they get to ruin/worsen the experience of other players on their way to such a goal.

Can I get a clarification regarding swat and the consistent 4th player early quit which is completely ruining the game and the ranking system? Do these accounts get banned? If so how long and is it a console ban/live account ban?

So I didn’t realize that AFKing was a banabel offence and I did it around 10 times but I don’t think a 65 day ban is necessary for my first time getting banned. For an idling ban that is very extreme at least ban me for a day or 2 and at least now I no not to do it again. And again I have not been band before. Can I at least play the other play lists like arena? It’s not like I was quitting the match constantly or team killing which is worse and there bans are not as bad, it makes no sense.

We AFK in warzone only so the worst thing is not the ban in warzone, the worst thing is that we can not play any playlist,we can not play arena neither. We lost 2 months of gold it’s 18€ of worth. I hope that in infinite the punishments will be more focused and correct.
And it because the ban is applied at full matchmaking and not at the game mode.

There is a way for get RP while you’are banned, just daily log in halo waypoint and check ->(h5)service record->requisition. in 65 days you will receive 65 daily req packs for a worth 35000+ RP, better than nothing.

If you are afk you aren’t playing. Why would you complain about not being able to play if you weren’t playing?

Because I only did it a few times. And I’m talking care of my grandfather and sometimes I can’t be there all the time and it’s also infection I play so I don’t effect anyone in the match.

I was playing a lot of ranked I never afk in ranked,so it s not a right thing subjectively. My ban would be for warzone only. Idk about @JurassicSteve16 history.

It’s just the only thin that ticks me of is 65 day ban for not being there a few times and again it was infection not ranked. And do you even read what I write. My ban is for everything which I’m not that happy about. People who constantly tk in ranked and in any other mode get only a 2 week ban but not playing a few times in a lm infection game is pretty harmless especially when I have to drop everything to talk care of my grandfather.

The games in your game history show zero npc kills which would mean you weren’t there for any of the game. Boosting xp has pretty much always been bannable, and since you are level 148 I am sure you have seen all of the warning messages.
<p></p>

I have not seen any warning messages in fact and I’m sorry for not trying to leave the match before I had to drop everything to take care of my grandfather. And if your talking about my warzone matches that I had in September for those matches that I played I had to help my grandfather go to the bathroom or give him his pills etc. As soon I get back to play he would call and I would have to help him asap so some games I would not be able to get a kill and yes I know that is pathetic. And I have quit doing that because it was effectiveing my team and that’s why I started playing infection so I wouldn’t hurt a team because there is no team it’s basically free for all.

So an idling ban is now starting off at 66/65 days?

You literally were in my game, standing in spawn, moving side to side after you got a kill as a human.

As soon as you get infected in your matches, you AFK. This was very easy to see by looking through your recent matches. I even asked if you were going to play and instead you kept AFKing.

Not surprised the Enforcement team caught up to you.

Ok because I got a kill then I had to take care of my grandfather which took a long time not my fault.

I do NOT back out, quit or regularly betray ppl, yet have been banned for the first time this week - TWICE.

When I’m done playing, I back out of matchmaking prior to being put into a new match. from there I back out of Halo and go back into my streaming service, all via my Xbox One.

WHY am I being banned?

This has nothing to do with being banned. Someone please help me. I’ve been winning mad games in Ranked Team Slayer non stop and only going up 1 CSR point. Every Loss here and there has been dropping me 30 points. I should be even-ing out at mid 1650’s Onyx, instead, if I lose one more game I’m boutta drop back to the diamonds cause there -Yoink- ranking system has been screwing me over all day today. Someone reply asap

This is the halo 5 rank system, if you are against a team of onyx(but this happen 1 times/ 50) and you win, you will get your 30 csr,for say that the rank depends also by your opponents rank.

This is the wrong thread. Ask questions on that in the matchmaking thread. Your MMR is 1398 though which his Diamond 4/almost Diamond 5.
