I am beginning to feel that what with money wipes, this BS issue and non stop problems with the game it isn't worth it anymore which is a shame as it is my 'go to' game for a bit of fun. Personally I have never cheated or modded. My only 'claim' is being a BS which I fully accept and was willing to serve my time but now I am so peeved with R* so called 'support' I actually do not care anymore and would willingly have my account modded with money and vehicles

 

No wonder people turn to this route as the whole set up is unfair

Have you tried contacting the number demonic posted?

It really doesnt make sense that they would just throw you back in bad sport after 2 months for no reason.

Keep messaging them until you get an actual person to explain to you what they mean.

BS should be removed from the console versions of the game. They've already removed it for PC!

Yes/no, stupid system but you end up in there for a reason we both know this :D ,(it makes you a better free roam pvp player), personally there should be sessions, rockstar had a good idea with the white/red blips

Their matchmaking failed as usual

It's GTA. Why are you punished for playing the game as intended? It's like getting BS points for killing players in COD. With all this PvP crap in the game, why is it still a thing? You even get BS points for blowing up PA's!

An Update:

 

I am now done with the game -it is a corrupt mess

 

I was in BS for 2 months 2 days - my timer reset and you will see from the abovepostings what had happened.

 

Clean lobbies for 9 days, doing my own work, helping other MC and CEOs, playing adversary modes, races etc and not quitting anything. Not blown ONE single PV up and generally been playing totally clean.

 

Loggedon just now and the dunce hat is back on and a timer of 0y4m4d so my original SERVED sentence has now doubled and I am back in BS for doing NOTHING wrong.

 

Seriously, f**k you R* and f**k you GTAO

Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support and have a wonderful day.

 

"[...] and have a wonderful day.", damn, I really love their way with words. :lol:

I tried the R* UK support number, just directs you to do a ticket.

 

Seriously, with money wipes and this bullsh*t for no reason at all it has made me angry. Now I cannot even play this weekend with friends and won't be able to play the new transfrom races.

 

If I done something wrong I would say, I have behaved and helped and for NO REASON now have BS for 4 months - something is not right with this game and unless my ticket quoting ALL previous correspondence is not dealt with properly this time (including photos and screenshots) game will be uninstalled and sold - utter disgrace to do this to genuine people

Hello xxxx,

Thank you for updating us on the situation.

I'm really sorry to hear that the changes still haven't taken effect. I realize that you are eager to continue playing without the restrictions of the Bad Sports Pool, but I would ask you to please wait until tomorrow. As we said, the changes can take a little while to be implemented on your account.

Please let us know tomorrow whether you have been removed from the Bad Sports Pool. We know you have been very patient and ask you to bear with us just a little longer.

Best regards,

Simon R.
Rockstar Support

My reply

You are seriously not understanding me are you?! How many more times do I haveto explain myself? I was in BS on a 0y2m2d sentence. I completed this and was placed in normal lobbies for 9 days. In that time I have helped others, not left any jobs, not blown any PVs up and played 100% clean. I log on today and find a dunce cap on me and a timer of 0y4m4d which is double what my EXPIRED BS sentence was and implemented for NO REASON at all. WHY?

Damn thats unfortunate bro. I even tried calling the US R number and apparently you cant even speak to a person anymore.

They f*cked up the game so bad they probably cant handle all the calls.

Yeah I have sort of given up now - had 4 years gameplay but that is me done unless it is properly sorted by Monday as promised.

 

Luckily there are a few new games out in next few months to get my teeth in to. RDR2 was on my radar, not any more

Idk man dont give up. Eventually maybe your ticket will be forwarded to someone who can help you. Have you tried spamming their twitter and support pages?

What exactly is a bad sport lobby like? Can you run missions, do business work etc? Or is it all the worst parts of the mad max films in freemode?

You can play normally but you can not play with any of your friends.

Just out of interest, how do you know if you are in bad sport?

 

Apart from destroying PV's, what else gives you B.S. points?

Why Rockstar Support, though? They are as useful as talking to a secluded civilisation who haven't heard of technology about the Internet. The Support team don't even know anything about the game itself.

The dunce cap and BS timer on the bottom left corner of your screen should tell you that you are in bad sport. Apart from blowing up other people's PV's, leaving jobs halfway and getting reported give you BS points.

I know no one actually gives a sh*t but this is now resolved. I actually got an email response from 'top tier support and they agreed they were wrong. To compensate they also added $1m to my account.

 

I wasn't going to give up and am now back playing normally and what's more the transform races are fun!

 

So, persevere, persevere, persevere add screengrabs and photos and price you are RIGHT and eventually they listen.

Thanks. I sent about 4 emails detailing proof as well as about 8 screen grabs and pictures. They also said my file was corrupt so BS was still showing so they transferred me to a new save with my RP rank and money. I did however lose all race and weapon stats but small mercies and all that as couldn't care less about KD etc.

 

Just enjoying transform races at moment and keeping away from grinding and getting into street battles. Need some fun time not grind time

BS is so easy to get into, you need to try harder.

3. [...]

4. Profit

For those who do the act 2 glitch, the only way I know for sure to avoid the badsport warning is to delete your saved data from the manage game and add one the saved data then select your Gamertag and delete everywhere. You'll need to do it 2times and once your Gamertag disappears, start your prologue. This step requires patience and is not for impatient people. Keep in mind that this step is optional and NOT required to play or keep your act 2 finale. It's merely a loophole I discovered which is used in the pac standard finale.
