What if instead of the warning or whatever why don't you kick someone from the lobby back into the main screen if they don't ready up by the time the next game starts so they don't get to stay there and farm instead they get kicked into the main screen and have to actually play the game in order to earn their rep and all that. That seems to be most fair just a simple kick if they don't ready?

Well today I sent a message to an afker telling him to stop, he wasn't a rubber bander he was one of those that manually moved his stick every once in awhile while he was doing something else or what have you so I figured a response might fix it and his response was that he reported me for reporting him. This is the kind of thing that happens when you let people just randomly report people for no reason at all and if people are going to get banned because of children that report for no reason then that's an issue. Ban people if they repeatedly join matches and don't earn any points for their team for X amount of time. Even the worst players being completely outclassed by the opposing team can kill a soldier here or there in Dominion or Skirmish and in Elimination if they can tell who are just running around in circles or not pressing anything they should be able to tell who's not even trying to guard/throw attacks, it shouldn't be left up to the players to decide since that's when people get reported for simply beating the other player. I mean after all they must have cheated if they won right? That's the mentality of some of these people on their and then you have the people that simply file false reports to file false reports. I have negative rep on my Xbox profile for language when I don't ever use a mic in a public game and haven't the entire time I've been on Live so people file false reports there too, you can't tell me it's not going to be more common when they get matched up with the 108 gear scores built for Revenge and spam it to deal obscene amounts of damage when they can't do the same when they don't have the same gear score, they're going to report for cheating because they got beat even if that was technically an in-spec method in which they used to do so. The mentality of "If I can't do it, then it's cheating" is rampant on online games especially among those spoiled children who's parents never stopped letting them win at board games.

Then reports for griefing and such, I imagine most of those are from the people that run up behind allies and constantly try to steal a kill hitting their allies and in a lot of cases killing them, but then if they walk into an attack that was already launched they start whining and crying and smashing the report button because it happened to them. Some of the matches are unplayable because the people so desperate to get a kill just wait around like vultures for low health opponents then try to use their teammates as human shields and attack through them to get that final hit no matter the price and when you leave those matches the lovely matchmaking puts you right back into matches with them.

Me and my partner play this game, non hardcore just a bit a few times a week (2 PS4's) to work around this issue of being grouped with sad pathetic individuals who fail to understand gaming is entirely about "the journey" (AKA AFK levelers), we just group up and turn off match making. We then can ignore this whole issue and have a stable set challenge based on just playing with and vs the AI. We do still try the odd game with match making any AFKers we just leave the game.

It is very sad though that UBI are not actively doing more with the game design to discourage or prevent this issue. I have precious little game time as it is I dont want to spend sending in reports about other players. Ubi is your job to make the game fun and playable not rely on us paying consumers to police it for you.

Greeting Warriors,

Ubisoft is dedicated to creating a level playing field in our games, and the full For Honor development team is committed to constantly act against individuals trying to gain advantages from using hacks or bots. You can find below last week’s post on the subject.

http://forhonor.ubisoft.com/game/en-...g-in-for-honor

This week we wanted to give your more visibility about our policy against players who are “AFK Farming” the For Honor Battlefields. For those unfamiliar with the practice, players are able to go AFK (away from keyboard) and keep their in-game character moving throughout a match (ex. tying a rubber band on the control stick), garnering end-game rewards and progression without actually playing. The “farming” aspect comes about when these players use this technique frequently to gain a large amount of these rewards.

Because this kind of behavior negatively affects the player experience of others, it has become a top priority for us. As such, we will be sanctioning all the players who have been found to be using AFK Farming repeatedly.

Depending on the situation, and the existence of additional sanctions already on a player’s account, we can apply different degrees of sanctions.

1st offense will trigger a warning, then, repeated violations may result in a Ubisoft account suspension applicable on the game (temporary or permanent).

Actual disciplinary action depends on the severity of the behavior and shall be decided at Ubisoft’s discretion, on a case by case basis.

Please understand that no details about the state of our investigation into this matter will be disclosed at any stage. Rest assured that sanctions will only be applied if there is clear evidence.

Starting early next week, warning sanctions will be applied to all first time offenders.

A BIG thanks to all who reported toxic behaviors from the game or customer support website!

In addition to the sanctions, we are currently working on improved methods of identifying and preventing AFK Faming.

As a reminder, our Code of Conduct can be found here:

We’ll leave you with a reminder of our Community Values:

Honor: Fight, win and lose with Honor. Support your teammates.
Respect: Respect your opponents and other community members, inside and outside the game.
Share: Share your experience, share tips and hints, spread the word!

Looking forward meeting you all on the battlefields!

The For Honor Team

a threatened penalty for disobeying a law or rule:

I already posted before on this. Please please please please please stop using the word "Sanction." You apparently do not know what it means. I even wrote out in my post last time on your use of the word sanction towards hackers what it meant and even gave you a dictionary reference.

If you don't know what a word means stop saying it. To repeat one last time, sanction means to accept, not to go against. Now please check your wording and stop posting things with words you don't know.

To quote Princess Bride, "You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means."

Why not just add a point-threshold to be surpassed to get xp?

(not too high for lower-skilled players, but at least equal to capturing two - three zones + making 1-2 kills? thats pretty reasonable for an entire match )

..But whatever is done, PLEASE dont resort to taking away XP vs. bots! ive waited too long for a game that lets me progress solely vs. AI.

[ParadigmFringe]

Basically what they are saying is this...

1. If reported, there needs to be proof. If you do not provide said proof. They will and must do nothing.
2. If caught by an actual dev or proof is provided, they will slap them on the wrist.
3. They are not going to talk about this going forward. So, the only way you will ever know if something has been done about this...is if it stops flat out by the end of next week. Which it won't the game is riddled with ways to exploit their system in For Honor.
...And
4.They are saying we will treat the symptoms and not tell you if it is been cured. They are doing and have done nothing about the disease. Which will and I promise, continue to spread. Ubisoft is terrible at monitoring their Online Assets. Sad. But true.

you realize that they look at game history to, right? they can see who has earned lots of crap but have no kills/captures/etc. to show for it.
