AJ1127 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Last night, me and three friends were boosting badges in a four player matches. First two matches went good without a hitch, then on the third match about halfway in, I saw a message on the lower left hand of my screen telling me a mod was viewing the match and seconds later match was closed and we each got a warning screen about cheating and exploting in an MP match. Obviously, what I did was wrong and we got caught, probably for being very sloppy (redec academy, our team 80+ points each, other team about 3-5 points each) and I knew some form of a penalty was heading my way. My one friend who did this before and was caught before said it'd be a 24 hour ban from MP, sucks but I brought it upon myself. Now, around 7:30PM today, when I got home, I knew I'd probably wouldn't be able to play KZ2 MP but instead I chose to play another game and when I went to sign in I got this message: "You can not log on to Playstation Network with this acccount" ERROR CODE #8002A231 My ID has been temp-banned for KZ2 boosting. I checked with my friends and they too were temp-banned as well. My one friend told me he contacted sony about why he couldn't sign in and they told him it was because of "cheating and/or exploiting in KZ2" (not sure if it said it like that, its just how he typed it to me). He said his temp-ban lasts until April 15th (this friday). My only guess is that now since people hack their PS3s and can cheat online that Sony has gotten more strict in their defenses against them and any other cheater, exploiter, and booster. I just wanted to give anybody who is currently thinking of boosting this a fair heads up that they could suffer a full PSN temp-ban too if they decide to boost this and get caught.

Dangles Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 With Killzone 3 out, I don't see why they give a damn about people boosting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 This sucks! Why does Sony or Guerrilla give a damn if someone want to boost a few trophies so long as they're not doing anything illegal like COD style hacking (nuff said)? I'm lucky myself and my on/off clan got our 100% last christmas else we'd be in real trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorRobert Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 So what's the best way to do this without getting caught? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Start or join a clan, make every match a clan match, don't turn off Spectators, don't set passwords and definitely DON'T call your game something dumb like "boosters welcome" or "Ribbon Boost" or something silly like that as that's just asking for trouble! If you get caught but not banned, make yourself scarce for a couple of days then comeback to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martydiablo Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 it happened to me as well when i log in today, i called sony about it and they told me the same than you!! therefore i consider we have the right to do what we want about (playing) lol not cheating ?? cheating is like hacking or entering a cheat code you know ?? i consider we have the right to boost with friends cos its cooperation ??? so i considere that SONY does not have the right to 'banned' or suspend an user account cos it BELONG TO US !! imtaking SONY in court for over 25 millions $ as well , besides i never been told or some kind of warning by email or messages through my PSN box, i believe its against human privacy. but i had recorded with my cell phone the conversation with the PSN representant.... SONY are violating against too many human rights... im taking severe action against them,i ever told them i WILL NEVER STOP BOOSTING !!!! cos they created those stupid trophies and they are pretty insane to get them LEGIT ( real match ) thats why we are cooperating !! ( boosting ) that doesnt have anything to do with cheating... thats why i consider they pushing over the limit and they have no right to do that !! NO ONES gonna touch my account anymore, i will never let that happens anymore cos its my own collection and stuffs that I PAID OUT ??? you should pass out this message to your friends and take them in justice like me.... please do it otherwise THOSE ASS HOLES gonna keep on abusing and using us like a puppet ???? they have no right to avoid you using your account, cos its personnal like a banking account,,, besides all my trophies doesnt worth all the money in the world !! they are in BIG SHIT!!! i believe SONY gonna close the door soon.... please call them at 1 800 345 7669 and keep bothering them. farewell .... believe me thats against privacy and human rights !! : whatever crap they tell you in their policy.....its wrong!!!!! do not let them do what they want !! they cannot, defend yourself, Marty xox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Half_Sober Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Yeah so I just got my PSN banned. I got 1 warning a couple of nights ago about hacking/glitching even though we were just boosting. Then had a great boost session last night for about 1500 points. I go to sign in today and evidently I have been banned. Nobody moderated us at all last night and we traded kills. The only thing I can think of is they check the leaderboards and randomly ban people which just doesn't sound right. I have about half of my kills with headshots so maybe that has something to do with it...I don't know. EDIT: Just talked to sony and the suspension is a 2 day suspension from Monday effective today till Friday. 1st and only warning and I get suspended from psn for what the mods call "cheating". The notes said I was seen "cooperating" with another user to achieve medals and higher rank. Is that why KZ2 doesn't have a coop mode because they don't believe in cooperation? What the fuck is this? COD? We were playing 2 player, jp server, bodycount 5min search and destroy 2min, no password, and spectators allowed. Not sure how the mods found us but with those settings we should have been safe. There was a moderator viewing followed by an immediate termination of the match. Anyone boosting needs to be careful.

I boosted 3 player and figured out why I was caught, you must have an even amount of players, so the mods don't sneak in. Everyone who likes KZ is on KZ3. Anyone who loves KZ is still on KZ2, but that's like 15 people?! We arent ruining the last peoples matches at all. Unless you have to turn spectators OFF so mods can't watch your match.

From what I was reading on here if you turn off spectators or lock the match the mods hone in on you real quick. Not sure but leaving spectators on and not locking the room didn't work for us either. He didn't even have time to see how we were playing. He immediately terminated the match when it said he was spectating so the only thing he saw was the score and shut it down. KZ2 mods need to get a life. Instead of paying for mods to mess with people that arn't hurting anyone (ie trophy boosters) why don't they try to fix their servers and the game so people can't hack or glitch. No telling howmany times I've been disconnected cause of their crappy servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshT Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 You gotta keep in mind that some of us played legit to get the 1% valor which took a whole dedicated week to do. It took me a solid week to hit 11,000 points where as a friend on my list had 11,000 within 2-3 days which is impossible considering he wasn't any better then me. Don't get me wrong I believe we should be able to boost whenever we like but I know I would of been pissed if I missed out on the 1% because people boosting took my spot.

People know you get booted or banned from been caught boosting yet people are still willing to take the risk and yet whats funny is they bitch about it when they're caught.

VanDeaM Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) i just boosted for 12 hours straight and did not get kicked or banned once. i did it with just 2 people and we focused on ribbons the whole time so we didn't score at an alarming rate, but we still managed to get in the top 1%. I also didn't lock the room but instead made my own clan specifically for boosting and made it so only other clan members can join, and named my room clan members only.

Nameless600 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 If you mean can you get banned from psn for boosting this game; Yes you can. My guess is he was referring to the above post about the 12 hour boost, although I could be wrong.. So are Mods still going nuts despite the fact that KZ3 is out? As well, does making it clan match really lower the risk by much? Or did VanDeam just get lucky? I reallllly wanna finish this game. Beat the game on Elite, got in the top 1% but still have some medals left to go...Its rather silly, seeing as how some such as the Ass. Defense specialist are complete luck..8+ people in a match, 1/8 chance your the target, and then you have to stay alive (assuming your allies aren't complete retards or the other team isn't at least decent), thats a little over the top for me. Also, I have been booted for boosting once, but not banned, this was nearly a year ago..should I be careful or has my time pasted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless600 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I guess I will answer my own question.. Me and a friend boosted today for about 4-5 hours straight. We made sure that we made a clan, made the match a clan match..named it something like "clan practice" allowed spectators and didn't screw with the basic settings to much. Only interesting thing we did was reset our server and take about 10 minute breaks once every 1-2 hours. As well, the boosting was almost completely for me, so i was racking up huge scores with 20-30+ kills and winning every game and getting 7-8 ribbons at a time. Despite all of this we went for hours without any MOD troubles. We were playing from 4-10 CST, so near peak times. I wouldn't say the mods calmed down, although this is a complete change from the first time in which I was booted 3 matches in. End of the story, be smart about it, and take small breaks, quitting out and recreating the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
