Nice job TC
“Imagine how desilusional” you can be to avoid buy a 30 meters ETHERNET-CABLE that cost 10 dolars…. “Oh no i need play on wifi then lag with 150 ping the match for everyone”. They should not even allow you play WIFI on “ranked” on first place…
They should SHARE the LEAVER-PENALTY on PC-HARDWARE/CONSOLE-HARDWARE to get ride of quiters once for all
I’ve said this about Gears 4 many times
What???
If you LEAVE a match your entire XBOX is banned 30 minutes so swaping profiles will do Nothing
If you LEAVE a match your entire PC is banned 30 minutes so swaping another account will not work anymore
You are totally right with the wifi to be honest these users can’t spend 10 usd on a 30 meters ethernet is insane
Apparently, this is newsworthy now…
Also I believe that TC needs to figure out how to discern a legit quit and a DC from a server crash or something. It’s very disheartening to hear that entire lobbies get dissolved by the system but then people get banned. They shouldn’t be handing out 2 years bans if this kind of stuff is happening.
Why use Wi-Fi when you can use mobile hotspot 
This.
Why play with a legit wired connection when you can use your mobile device as a hotspot and place it across the street. That way you’ll become the god of the sponges and see your ranks rise to the heavens.
So that’s where the bullet magnetism comes from
I have played with kids that get on with the game in a mature manner, and I’ve had adults swearing, burping, chewing down the mic, being disruptive in horde etc.
As for custom group ? Totally agree, I have sessions where it’s all adults and the discussion is not for children on the odd occasion.
If this was an error on TCs account then that sucks. But if this is the punishment for toxic quitters in gears 5. Then right on TC. I applaud you guys. Keep up the good work.
i just got banned 30 mins for leaving a lobby after two ranked tdm matches. they are banning for leaving lobbys as well?like i hit continue playing and while waiting in the lobby was like nah time for lunch and they banned me 30 mins. it’s a lobby isn’t that the point that you can leave and then they just add someone new?
This has been a problem since Gears 4 and needs to be fixed ASAP
So now put up with constant stacked teams and sponge bobs or quit and get a penalty!? ……… well that’s another reason for me to stop playing after I have completed TOD1
The whole banning thing is getting way out of hand. I have heard of players getting dumped by the servers and receiving a ban. I understand that there are some career players that are too concerned about their win loss ratio, but they need to quit banning players for every little detail. Especially seeing how I have been having a hard time trying to find players that I know willing to play.
If they can make it so the system detects a server issue versus an intentional disconnect, then that would be an improvement. But sketchy internet at home disconnecting you? That’s on you. Otherwise there’s nothing to stop those quitters from just turning off their router or whatever to preserve their rank.
And it 100% should not apply to anything but Ranked - though that said, I’ve had just about enough of people dropping out of Horde groups (AFTER the lobby). And it should never apply to quitting out of a lobby either - only once in game.
Aside from that, I’m all for two year bans for people who quit 18 of 21 matches in a day. But I also agree with their decision to rescind the bans with a warning once. Now everyone is aware of the consequences, and there’s no excuses.
Kinda reminds me of logging on to gears 3 only got to rank 13 then went on the next day and was perma banned. Favourite gears and still banned or from what google says its a ban sad times 
i like how after all this people are still gonna quit ranked games like thats the reason why im stuck in silver is all these quitters still cant play versus shouldint be in ranked at all lmao
Do you even get a message you are banned ? have been unable to get a ranked or arcade for 3 weeks now on the crap aussie servers. 10 minutes looking for a match ill quit and go to horde , escape or vs ai and takes 1 minute on average to find a match.
Yes
Same, This isn’t due to a ban or suspension.
This Aussie server…
Me & my mates have had to resort to playing cod piece in order to satiate our multiplayer needs, something I’m really not that thrilled about, but at least it only takes 10-20secs to find a match. It’s been months since I’ve found a ranked Gears5 game, given I have been trying less & less… Almost wish I was banned, at least there’d be an acceptable reason.
Suspended for 50 mins …? For network disconnection. Man if these network disconnects keep happening they’re eventually gonna rack up and lead me to a lengthy suspension and/or ban. They need to tap into these errors. I’ve put in a lot of money into this game, fix this coalition !!!
