Confession about playing with a cheating team

So, I just left a team after playing 3 (full) matches with them. I won't name names, but one of them was threatening DDOS to opponents, and when they wouldn't leave, he'd DDOS them. I ended up playing with them for 3 matches before I was able to fully piece together that was they were doing with absolute certainty. (As I write this, I'm in a party of one of the victim teams, and they matched up with them again, and were DDOSed.) Summary of what happened: Solo'd into a match, they invited me to their party. I was returned to to orbit after that, saying I was removed from game world (probs not important). First match actually playing with them after I rejoined them and joined their fire team, free win (where the enemy team doesn't show up on roster, join into empty game. I've had that happen before so I don't think it was anything special). Second match, one or two people left/DQ'd, I mentioned it was weird and he said that's what happens when you 4-queue, people leave. I figured he was right, after a couple rounds, rest of their team left. I msg'ed one of the people asking what happened. He said DDOS, so I noted it but also realize some people can get salty. Nevertheless, I wanted more proof just in case. Third match, one or two left (don't remember, I think two though). One person said lag swipe, another person said they think their teammate just disconnected, so I searched up their gamertags for match history, to find that the match history looked fine (from what I could see, maybe I'm just bad at looking them up. I used bungie.net). Fourth match, DQ'd opponents, eventually all of them. After that, I left and the victims of that team invited me to a party because I messaged asking if they were DDOSed, and let one know I needed to know so I could report them. I let them know the person that I thought was doing it, and I, along with the rest of them, mass reported them. I tried on bungie.net, but only one account was found. I write this because I feel terrible for what I was apart of, and I'm ashamed I didn't report them after the first incident that I witnessed. This is not a desperate cry to spare me, for I realize that while I did not commit the actions, I was still a part of fire team responsible. This is simply my confession, and my public and personal apology. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

  • Op did wait to get a educated conclusion so he can have proof and evidence that the others where cheating. Once he figures they where cheating he didn’t only leave, but also posted the story on the forums so that the cheaters go down even if he goes down with them. If people believe that op should be banned for making a intelligent hypothesis and getting evidence and reporting this, that’s stupid. Don’t believe his story? Check his game history. If he was sticking with the cheating team he wouldn’t have any losses. If you punish someone for trying to do the right thing, then others won’t try to do the right thing because of fear of punishment. I have concluded that op was in the right here, getting the information to stop cheaters. [spoiler]although more evidence like a relevant video would be better. [/spoiler]
