Sadly exp limit means player who actually play the game get hit by the limit and people cheating by being afk getting rewarded more since there unlikely to get higher exp normally by using using the exploit due to being afk. First time I think 343i poorly thought this through and if my 'fire-team' 2nd player is afk then I'm basically punished with less exp since I can't support a team member who is afk. I really hope people going afk get long term bans.DoubleSama wrote:So apparently Double XP Weekend has begun in MCC, but as far as I can tell the match XP limit is still in place.

Have they said they're going to implement bans for AFK players in the future? AFKing has been allowed in MCC since it launched back in 2015, so unless 343 have stated they're going to implement bans, I don't see it happening.ronnie42 wrote:Sadly exp limit means player who actually play the game get hit by the limit and people cheating by being afk getting rewarded more since there unlikely to get higher exp normally by using using the exploit due to being afk.

Yeah they said they are working to ban this behavior and/or reset XP gained. AFKing has become much worse since the introduction of Reach and the progression system...before the update there was no reason to AFK because you literally received nothing for playing.DoubleSama wrote:Have they said they're going to implement bans for AFK players in the future?

Not sure yet. I don't think officially AFK players are ever meant to be allowed, it certainly should be ban-able in competitive modes like 'Invasion' ranked where this type of behaviour can make ranking up near impossible to rank up when gamers are trying to enjoy the online with friends or alone in matchmaking while helping randomers. Plus in this state players can get de-ranked due to afk players ruining everyone's gaming experience and it encourages mass spawn killing in invasion.DoubleSama wrote:Have they said they're going to implement bans for AFK players in the future?

Yeah, you can only get kicked for inactivity in the lobby, not in actual matches.ronnie42 wrote:Not sure yet.

I've literally got tired of it....last game I played I had 1 player who was afk a majority of the match and yet limited their betrayals near the end to avoid being booted and then pretended the player was active at the end despite doing nothing 3/4 of the game. Some players think they can get away with the behaviour and yet had to report, record players doing this time of thing, yet some think they think there immune to getting banned. Sadly this type of behaviour seems to have become more common since the Reach update because I rarely see players now who aren't afk or quitting at the start. Quit/AFK penalty's need to be more common if this continues.
It just seems strange that we have a 'sleep timer' on the lobby screen and yet I've yet to see a single player get kicked for doing the same while in the game itself. Heck even Halo 5 seems to have a better boot system at the moment for these type of players.
I haven't noticed the AFKing get any worse since Reach came out. Even back when I just played H3 BTB there would usually be around 5/16 players AFK even though they gained nothing from it.qlimm wrote:Yeah they said they are working to ban this behavior and/or reset XP gained.

No, they have this issue solved in Halo 5. In H5 there needs to be different controller inputs within a set amount of time. So if your controller is just holding down the right stick to the side, that doesn't count as playing. It works great in H5 and solves all of the problems.VmasterRecon wrote:The only effective solution I can think of is a timer.

Yeh things need to change. If there cheating this much then they need temporary ban's from online, have all their unlocks resets, forced to start again in maybe something like 2 weeks to 1 month.DoubleSama wrote:Yeah, you can only get kicked for inactivity in the lobby, not in actual matches.ronnie42 wrote:DoubleSama wrote:ronnie42 wrote:Sadly exp limit means player who actually play the game get hit by the limit and people cheating by being afk getting rewarded more since there unlikely to get higher exp normally by using using the exploit due to being afk.

Yeah any game you can rank up in!!!DoubleSama wrote:Wait, I can rank up in games other than Reach?

I'm going to be totally honest, I never realised that system was in place. You are right, though. That system would solve all issues.DoubleSama wrote:No, they have this issue solved in Halo 5.

BTB has been working out for me pretty well so far. A couple of matches didn't register, but 4v4 felt like every match wasn't counting for double XP yesterday.UGU Durandal wrote:II really haven't been having any issues not getting the Double XP in Big Team Battles
