Another bad sports thread..


Recommended Posts

Well it finally happened to me.. first time ever I'm in the bad sports lobbies.

 

I got put in there purely because of quiting some playlists.

 

The trouble with playlists is most seem to be a mixture of activities.. so when I'm looking for a racing one that someone messages about I join it, but then find out a couple of events in to it, its all deathmatches and last man standing.. so I quit out.

 

It seems my quiting out as built up and now I'm in the bad sports lobby.

 

I wrote to rockstar, partly out of frustration, of how do I get out of bad sports.. their reply was;

 

1) Fully shut down your console.
2) After 30 seconds of the console being shut down, restart the console.
3) Launch GTAV.
4) When launching GTAV, wait until a black screen appears after the initial splash art has disappeared, and hold down L1+R1 throughout the opening scenes.
5) If successful, you will be prompted to re-calibrate your language and brightness options.

 

smh.. what the heck lol.

 

So does anyone have any good tips to get out of bad sports lobby? These guys are just going around killing each other in the lobby. The ban I got is for 2 days. If I don't play GTA for 2 days will it clear the time, or is it 2 days in-game time?

Bad Sports is stupid. Never made sense.. never will..

 

 

But.. how many playlists did you quit?

 

Call up R* and let them have and ear full. Demand that as a paying customer whos done nothing wrong and broke no rules to fix what they have broken for you.

 

If they give you attitude. Hang up.. call right back.. Over and over and over and over.. You'll eventually find someone with common sense who will help you. (This happened to my friend, he was back in in 1 hour)

hmm....some videos in past said getting award is only solution though but i didn't confirm that one true yet

 

seeing as DMs are always in mess , i'd advise you only play DM for once a week ( better yet , once a month )

Well, it's a good thing it's only 2 days.

 

Even if you can't get anything done about it, it's not so bad. You don't have to be playing during those 2 days. You can go off and do your own thing, come back to the game and you'll be out. Last time I went in, that's how it worked anyway, and I doubt they changed the rules.

Arrows to Athens

Remember, the more you get in, the easier it is to get back in. This system makes no sense, like, at all. In a game where you are meant to blow sh*t up, especially when given a vast collection of lethal weaponary, you are punished for blowing someone's car? They can just get it back in less than a minue, and I pay for the insurance. Why give us a Hydra or Ruiner 2000 if we can't even use it? Getting reported gets you bad sport points, too, which is just plain stupid. I guess Rockstar forgot that a lot of butthurt players tend to do false reports. Some players intentionally report you when they see you're a dodgy player just so they can troll you and put you into a bad sport lobby.

you really bitching because of 2 day sentence?

 

try being there for months then you would have a reason to bitch about.

 

just wait the 2 days and becareful when you get out, simply play missions with other players for a few days to earn good sport points or you would find yourself in there again in no time.

 

just so you know the badsport works on a 2X system...

 

1=2days

2=4days

3=8days

 

etc etc etc

Also don't put bad sport in the support ticket to rockstar. They detect it and say;

 

 

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

 

Then they close the ticket.. smh

 

It wouldnt be so bad if the people in BS actually did activities.. but nobody seems to do anything apart from blast other people.. which im sure just increases their time in there(?)

Damn I thought I was entering a thread about adding sports and I thought up a (bad) sport that I thought would be fun so... Anyone up for Hooker Darts? It's just like regular darts but the dartboard is a hooker. Strippers and Altruist member could also apply for the sake of euality and balance.

Meanwhile people don't get bad sport for driving backwards in races, blocking the track in the duel stunt race. going passive after killing players, or taking the easy way out when you shoot them. But quitting playlists gives you it. Stupid R* logic at it again.

Willing to bet the OP is a jet griefer as well.

 

Don't own a jet, or tank.

Exactly. I've never cheated in races. Also some of these stunt races are nearly impossible to do and everyone quits them. The problem is when doing playlists its difficult to know if I'm going to bump in to them. This as put me off doing playlists.

Looks like I have 1 day left on the timer.

 

If I just stop playing gta for a day will I be back in the good lobby's?

 

It's boring. Very few people are doing any activities.

 

 

I guess it just tooooo difficult to make your own playlists...must take a huge amount of expertise few have.

-_-

 

I like the challenge of not knowing what activities I'll face. The bit that annoys me is there are so many races that people made that dont work. I've played thousands of races (over 5000), so quiting a few of them seemed to push me over the edge.

Good post but partly because I couldn't agree more and have posted similar myself! Great minds and all that.

 

The bad sport lobby is ridiculous at times and in a game where they give you all manner of guns, rocket launchers, fighter jets and KITT from Knight Rider, it's stupid to punish people for using them.

 

Those that moan about being killed should either go into passive mode or invite/ crew only sessions, or if they still doesn't stop the crying maybe they should trade in the game for something a bit more gentle like one of the Lego games...

Well it finally happened to me.. first time ever I'm in the bad sports lobbies.

As someone who has been in Bad Sport more times than I can honestly remember (it's always because I blow up other player's cars, which is frowned up because why else would they give you RPGs, Grenades & Grenade Launchers, Sticky Bombs, Proximity Mines, Jets, Attack Choppers, and of course, a Trans Am that shoots rockets?), here's my thoughts:

 

1. Welcome to Bad Sport. It's not that bad, really, especially for a first time offender.

2. Just play in Passive Mode if you don't want to battle other bad sports, because people in there are mostly lifers and enjoy tormenting new arrivals (tho' there's a lot of cool folks, too).

3. Explore and enjoy the majesty of the game that does not involve combat. Go find the secret mine... look for the Infinity Killer clues... visit Trevor's trailer and tool around there.

4. Learn to do motorcycle stunting and try to reach rooftops and places you've never been. Here's a thread of mine to help: Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Eat Your Heart Out!

5. Most of all, just look at it as a vacation of sorts and learn from the experience. You don't want to go back because it's just a big pain.

 

And yes, Bad Sport is stupid. It punishes players for playing the game exactly as it is laid out and designed. Ridiculous.

 

However, as someone who also hasn't been back in over a year, I know how far I can push the limits and still get my $2000 reward for good behavior.

 

I believe you can check your status by pressing PAUSE, going to the ONLINE menu, and checking your STATS.

Under your K/D stat, it should list you as a "Clean" player or "Dodgy" player. If it says "Dodgy," then you're nearing Bad Sport status, so clean up your act! :)

 

Anyway, it's not so bad despite being frustrating. Have fun with it, as it's still part of the game. Cheers! :)

Have you ever thought about being a life coach or something?

 

I jest but mainly it's a compliment- a well thought out and positive post but having been in Bad Sport myself (only once and a couple of years ago), I'm not sure if it will placate most who have been put in there!

 

The other option which I took was to really test my mettle against the Bad Sport regulars by playing them at their own game and going out all guns blazing. The lobbies I joined were full of actually very decent players (I guess those too good at killing are likely to be in there) and it's one way to really see how good you are against some out and out killers.

The thing is that this is common knowledge.

Yes you get bad sport points for quiting jobs and you even get generaly notified that can happen.

And like i said...that response from rockstar is automated sh*t.

 

And yes it does not make sense, but this is happening pretty much how rockstar wants it to be.

 

I really do not get what is left to discuss tbh.
