Hi JC-0001,

 

You are receiving this automatic reply because you recently submitted a ticket to Rockstar Games with the term "Bad Sport" found in the text.

 

We are sorry to hear that you are having a problem related to the Bad Sport pool. These classifications are made automatically by the game and we are not able to adjust Bad Sport stats.

 

You may end up in the Bad Sport pool for things like quitting games early (including network issues), blowing up other peoples vehicles (including using tanks, and including in private sessions), and being reported manually by other players from the in-game pause menu. Players in the Bad Sport pool will return to the general population after a certain period of time that is displayed when entering GTA Online. Please note that the duration of the Bad Sport sentence may increase if further violations occur while in the Bad Sport pool, including being reported by other players. We are also looking into reports from some players who claim the sentence increased even though no further violations occurred.

 

If you would like to provide feedback about the Bad Sport system, please email [email protected] We appreciate any input you have about ways to improve the system while still keeping games clean and fun for the majority of players.

So basically, they won't remove bad sport servers even though it's a load of sh*t and nobody really wants them. If you happen to leave a game due to connection issues you may still end up a bad sport, they're aware of this, but they simply don't care. Or you may also be a victim of idiots abusing the kick player option, more often then not kicking a player before they even join the session, causing the player to end up a bad sport. They're also aware of this, but they just don't care.

 

GTA Online is a load of sh*t, and it's only gonna get worse.

That they are aware of connection issues are classified as bad sport is sucky, R* has failed way to mutch with this online sh*t.

[LillyOfTheValley]

Cause too many people to have to phone the Insurer and collect their car (takes seconds to do) and you will be prevented from playing with friends. That's the jist of the bad sport system with regards to blowing up peoples cars.

[cfrostyscriv]

ok here is a tip for you, as soon as you see that dunce hat on your head just dashbourd your game, when you rejoin you will no longer have a dunce hat. YAY.

[Mikeol1987]

Yeah the fact is you shouldn't get bad sport from being kicked from a lobby, so many times I have joined a gametype and its a bunch of friends or crew members that just kick you straight away...ive just come out of bad sport and will be avoiding it so if it happens to me through people kicking I just wont bother with this broken f*cked up game anymore

[iTz-JoNeSy]

I want the bad sports servers. All the stupid tanks are in bad sports. It needs changing though..

Ya in regards to blowing up cars, which is understandable. But what about connection issues and people abusing the system, thats ok with you is it. Your internet suddenly goes down but your now a bad sport for leaving a game.

 

All I'm saying that this stupid system was not thought out properly and has to be sorted.

I don't think getting segregated from your friends for blowing up peoples cars is understandable at all. It's unjustified, because after your car is blown up all you have to do is phone the insurer and go pick it up, or get your mechanic to pick it up. The punishment doesn't fit the crime. Nothing about the bad sport system is ok with me (apart from the dunce hat).

[MrGrandis]

Cool stroy bro.

[Darkly-X]

Take away Bad Sport. Now watch the epic battles happen in the city. Tank vs Tank vs Chopper vs Tank vs 2938109283 Cops.... /drool and /popcorn

[fazedjb2v2]

bad sport servers are great, gets rid of the scum that grief peoples rides etc.

 

if you don't like it, don't get put there- it's simple really...

It's not really that simple. I get kicked most likely because of my high rank, before I've even joined the session I'm gone. And I get bad sport for this sh*t. I don't grief people, I just get along with the game. But I'm still punished because of this BS

[Phyxsius-]

You`re full of sh*t and you know it.

 

What`s next? Logging into PSN gives bad sport points?

The power for other players to put you in bad sport is just wrong. In fact it's completely retarded

Played golf with a bad sport yesterday, he got put in same session as me afterwards, way to beat the system

That is the wrong attitutde, it is not as simple as that! People come in groups and spawn kill you time and time again and they hide in there cars tossing out grenades/sticky grenades. What do you do then? leave the session that contains your friends? It makes no sence that they can troll me from the safety of there car yet if I accidentally shoot there petrol tank I get the bad sport. f*cking retarded

You are conveniently forgetting one tiny detail: You ended up in said lobbies to begin with. Which isn`t as easy as you want us to believe.

 

You reap what you sow, I guess.

Can you ask them to remove the stupid hat I've been brained with too please. I mean.. you seem like a man who can make things happen...

[The_Big_Lebowski]

Funny thing is I received numerous good sport bonusses and after I blew up 1 car by accident I was sent to the bad sport server for 1 day. No warning, no nothing. Also their servers DO suck and many receive a bad sport notion because of R* that f*cked up. How nice.

 

Btw the hat is SEXY! Maybe one of the best hats in the game.

[JC-0001]

Wow this forum is full of funny people, or people trying to be funny more like. It's a shame intelligence is scarce. At least some people have the brains to get what I'm saying. And I highly doubt I'm the only one to email Rockstar about the bad sport system. It's completely f*cked up, fair enough it keeps the tank griefers out of the way. But legit players who just wanna get on with the game end up in there over being kicked from sessions for no f*cking reason.

Psst, I`ll let you in a great secret. You need THREE cars blown up to go to bad sport server. That assuming you didn`t get ALL THE WARNINGS that you receive before getting said bad sport points.

 

You, sir, are full of sh*t.

Either you're stupid or a troll, there's plenty of methods of putting people into bad sport lobbies.

 

People hide behind weak cars, pour gasoline on it and shoot at you, etc. They kick you from sessions for no reason (or because they're farming criminal records and they don't want you disturbing them). There's tons of ways to make a person bad sport.

it's not that easy but it can happen accidentally

I blew up one car because the guy in it was trying to kill me

it set off a chain reaction blowing up 2 other cars

 

not to mention how easy it can happen in tanks (though ít's usually justified)

whenever there's some1 in a tank people can just have their mechanic deliver personal vehicles and drive them into the tank one by one
