Credit Resets

Good evening, We are in the process of applying credit resets to approximately 15,000 users who we have identified as the most egregious Challenge Reset abusers. A one day credit earning ban has also been applied, mostly to ensure that recipients receive an in-game notification of the action taken. As with any such measure, we have taken the time to carefully select our criteria to eliminate false positives. A more comprehensive pass will be occuring in the coming week as our automated Banhammer mechanisms grow accurate enough to satisfy our high bar for burden of proof. If you are thinking about getting an easy 50k credits by using this exploit, I would strongly advise you to reconsider. Thank you, and please direct any discussion of these resets to this thread. [b]Edit 1[/b]: a point of clarification. No bans were handed out tonight for a) Playing too much Gruntpocalypse (no such thing!) b) Using the target locator too much (no such thing!) Specifically, we targeted an exploit that allowed players to complete a Challenge 20+ times via itentional network manipulation (i.e., disconnects.) Spot checks have revealed the telltale signature of this behavior on every denier so far, so don't be fooled by the protests of innocence. We aren't. [b]Edit 2[/b]: 1) If you have lost your Legendary Helmet or any other downloadable offers, you can re-download them via your Download History. We're not sure this is affecting anyone (we haven't reproduced it internally), but just in case it is, give this a try. 2) We won't be resetting Commendations, as we do not feel that the exploit used affected them. It would not be fair to people who did use the exploit but who wish to retain the record of their playstyle, and we cannot differentiate between the two systematically. Sorry.

  • [quote] [b]Posted by[/b]: MMMMMonster Look man, I am not reset--I just feel that what Bungie did in this situation is morally wrong. Although players exploited a cheat in their game--(although I am not sure how they would gather this information to a high enough level of certainty)--they should have had the decency and respect of their consumers and fans to give a friendly warning or a mass message for the glitches. Bungie could have patched the glitch without incident, but severely tarnished their image to many players by mass banning. By the way it gives no unfair advantage in a game since cr only buys armor--which is purely aesthetic and does not affect gameplay. So that warning in Xbox Lives agreement I don't think should be referenced with regards to cr boosting. [/quote] You cant say "it gives no unfair advantage in a game since cr only buys armor" while farming/cheating to get said credits! and if they are purely looks why does it matter? why cheat? [quote] [b]Posted by[/b]: MMMMMonster Not his fault if Bungie makes a faulty game that has different ways to exploit it. It is only against the rules if there is a set of rules that says it can't be done. Since Bungie made this game incredibly easy to farm and glitch cr, why should the player be punished--especially with out appropriate warning. Bungie should be ashamed of their actions and claim some responsibility for this issue rather than ban or reset loyal players who were never formally told that their actions could result in a ban/reset. [/quote] Name ONE game that doesn't have some sort of glitch that allows cheating/modding especially during its first month of sale. The Xbox agreement applies to ALL cheating and Modding, no exception, they got off lightly, they could have been banned and their xbox bricked. Sorry to be kind of angry but if they let cheaters get away with this the game quickly goes to hell

You violated the Terms of Service. Stop trying to justify it.[/quote] Meh. People do this online all the time - find out I'm a girl, and then attack that because they don't have any other arguments. Turns out that having breasts and a -blam!- doesn't mean I'm automatically wrong, but targeting me for being a girl pretty much guarantees that the whiner in question is overcompensating for either a) their complete lack of a life, or b) their incredibly tiny and flaccid genitals. Either way, my usual response is to look at how awesome my life is, shrug my shoulders and chalk up another failure of evolution.[/quote] I wasn't even aware you were a girl, haven't been reading everything too closely, though when you talked about your upper soprano range I did a double-take. But yeah, a few of my female gamer friends get that a lot. Largely from screeching, prepubescent boys.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MMMMMonster give a friendly warning or a mass message for the glitches. [/quote] As far as I'm concerned, people have had years of warning. Remember the Halo 3 messages that said "Network manipulation will get you banned"? That, plus a little common sense would have helped prevent this. [quote]since cr only buys armor--which is purely aesthetic and does not affect gameplay. So that warning in Xbox Lives agreement I don't think should be referenced with regards to cr boosting.[/quote] The "victimless crime" argument doesn't wash, I'm afraid. Network manipulation is network manipulation, no matter what anyone did, or to what extent.

I demand banter with someone who actualy has skill, not a post-menepausal granny who rides the coat tails of some of these mythic members...so, if u have talent go ahead and respond to my posts otherwise u will be ignored.[/quote] Has it got to the point where the only half decent members of these forums are now abused because they're not as MLG PR0Z as you? Shame on you man, shame on you.[/quote] I think it's kind of cute, actually. Of course I've got hardly any deaths and plenty of kills. I've been quite open here about the fact that I'm no great shakes at Halo. I play because my boyfriend plays. I've improved from the days where I didn't know what the motion sensor was and regularly missed unmoving targets, but I'm no Grade 5 General in terms of skill. I'm just a girl who likes playing video games with her boy, you know? Also, I only started my account today. My boy had that two day trial thing that came with Reach, and he gave it to me so that I could stop playing as a guest all the time and have a Spartan I could customise. Sweet of him, huh? The best bit is that, as a Corporal, I'm currently higher ranked than most of the cheaters who were reset - and I got all those credits legitimately, too. XD

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] X BC73 X @jaymynemesis U proved my point lady, this isn't about me affecting ur in game experiance at all, I don't care about the rank system, show my trueskill. I don't give a damn about bragging rights cuz I just prefer teabagging. Anddd I don't care about you guys being all but hurt about not "earning armour legit" because I'm not maliciously affecting your game experiance. I never 10th lobbied in MW2 and I'll never do anything to give myself an unfair advantage in game, as far as out of game or aesthetics go I could care less how I get them. Calling me a douche for stating that my sweet armour didn't help me in game is uncalled for, and me ruining ur game experiance due to me being a higher rank than u...that's called nerd rage little girl...u mad. What's gonna be worse for u, getting teabagged by a colonel or a recruit? Either or I'm still gonna sleep good at night...[/quote] Oh, honey. Honey, honey, honey. "Little girl"? Really? I'm a fourth year medical student. I'm engaged to be married. I run a choir and sit on my medical student association's management committee in my spare time. I'm not a little girl - I'm an adult who likes playing video games every now and then. You know, like most of the people here. "Jaymynemesis"? That implies that I care enough about you to think of you as a "nemesis" at all. Protip: I don't. You're some whiny little kid complaining about how you got caught breaking the rules, and you honestly think I give a damn about you? I care about a lot of things: religion, passing my exams, developing my history taking technique, perfecting my upper soprano range, making sure I get enough orgasms a week to keep myself satisfied. On the scale of things I care about, you're somewhere on the level of other people's toe lint. To translate that for you, that basically means "not at all". You cheated, kiddo. You found a way to manipulate the network in order to get more credits, and you paid the price. And now, because Bungie has proven time and time again that they're not going to listen to your whining, you're taking it out on the people laughing at you. Fair enough. That's your right. But don't get all surprised when your childish little temper tantrums just make the mockers laugh harder. tl;dr - you're still a cheating -blam!-. You still deserved your punishment. Suck it up, douchetard, and learn to deal. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Emperor Emo Get over yourself, calling people lady and little girl doesn't make you come across as some grizzled American soldier.

  • the Terms of Use is implied here that you're not allowed to cheat. Xbox Live's Terms of Use and Code of Conduct has Jurisdiction over any Game Companies Video Game that hits the market. So what anyone did here was broke the contract they agreed to when it says "I Agree" Nuff said
