Nothing will happen. He is breaking no rules.
I have dealt with this too, it is an awful thing to experience, and I’m sorry it happened, but it’s something you must prevent. No one will punish these people, because of legalities.
For reference, here is the profile of a player who has done this since launch to hundreds of horde matches.
Hundreds- thousands of reports, no penalty.
You can tank their reputation, but they will never get suspended or banned for it.
Surely there are rules against griefing?
@GOLLE - he is sure to return - record the griefer and post the video here!
No, there are none.
The reason is that it is a legal gray area. Who is greifing? Who makes the call? Who deals with the lawsuits over lost games, reverse greif trolling (Wherein people mass claim someone is greifing who isn’t to the point they receive penalty)
It’s too much for companies to deal with, so they don’t. Microsoft doesn’t, and neither does TC. They simply don’t want the onus of making these calls, so they don’t.
People are allowed to be jackholes, best thing to do is to be ready to kick a lame duck asap.
I got banned once becouse of a Word i used in forza 4. Wtf. It was not Even swearing. Got 3 days. And this guy roams freely. Thats not right
Profanity is against the rules, throwing away the time of others on purpose isn’t, but it’s probably for the best man. Draconian enforcement on how we play games probably isn’t what we want.
It’s just something you have to watch for, and kick quickly.
More importantly it’s a waste of resources.
I’m really surprised that so many games with private lobbies for their multiplayer modes don’t have kick options.
Yeah… it was really toxic on gears when we didnt have it in horde for a while. Man, the amount of times people ruined my games, and I had no recourse. Just disgusting.
If you block him shouldn’t you NOT be matched to play with him, and thus vice versa, he shouldn’t be able to see your lobby to get in to it?
I’ve played with plenty of ■■■■■■■■ and I just report and block them, never to see them again.
@ENKIL27
Xbox live doesn’t work like that anymore. MS ditched blocking them from match making when the xbone came out.
Blocking just means they cant message you.
It sucks balls and is a massive miss step on MS’s part in my eyes.
Know but sometimes ITs random players 2 and not everyone has him blocked… not yet
I mean if Microsoft wants to help players and also avoid getting their hands dirty, the should at least make sure that you are not allowed to join a match in which someone who blocked you is playing.
I only play with friends nowadays. It saves it from being a lottery.
All comments on this topic should be placed in the existing thread dedicated to this discussion:
In 14 years I think I have received 5 invites total from friends to play Gears.
No. Blocking a user prevents them from contacting you. As for matchmaking, blocking them only reduces the chance of being matched with them.
He was not stating a fact, just how he thinks it should be. And at least for the lobby browser I tend to agree.
I have always said that only the Engineer should have access to the Fabricator and only one Engineer per game, this solves most problems, except, bad Engineers or the buying of Weapons and Grenades, but i would expect the easiest solution for the Weapons and Grenades is for the Engineer to be able to build an Ammunition Supply Station (limited to one only).
As for the bad Engineer thing, i would guess that the only way to sort that problem out is… Only implement that rule for 2nd tier games and above, it gives the low level Engineers the chance to level up and learn their Role. Of course, of the Engineer is a total Deek, nothing can stop that from happening.
And, i hate people that mess around and The Coalition should allow naming and shaming for certain instances, followed with a ban.
I actually thought that was exactly how it worked. It even used to say that it would avoid matching you with said player when you were blocking or reporting them.
