    The way the friend list works and its exploits


    Recently I get followed by new Gamertags which were just created, have 0 followers, 1337 friends and 0 Gamerscore. They will send spammails soon and anyone with a little bit of sense would know that this is the whole purpose of those accounts. But you can't
    do anything against it. They follow you and there is no way to change that.

    Why did you have to make the friends list a folowing system? Why not a simple but effective friends system, like it used to be on Xbox 360?

    I have several instances that show how bad this system is.

    I played with someone who was kinda ok. But still I don't want him to be in my friends list. Now, due to the following system I couldn't decline his following purpose, I just didn't follow him back. I don't see him now, but he can see me. And therefore he
    sends Upload clips from time to time because he sends them to all of the Gamertags in his friend list.

    You could probably say, that I can just block him. But that would be an overreaction. It would be okay if he asks me something or invites me into a game, I just don't want to get bothered by those massmails. But there is nothing I can do now. I just have to
    accept that.

    Speaking about blocking. The actual blocking feature is a joke. I think this does not show up as a problem because not many people are using this feature and check afterwards, how it actually works.

    A friend of mine, who moans from time to time because I *** him off, blocked me some time ago. Until yesterday I didn't know, because he was still in my favorites lists and I got notifications. We were in the same party because of mutual friends and though
    he couldn't hear me because he blocked me, I could hear him.

    That should not be possible!!

    There are people who forfeited the right to be in my life in any way because of private reasons. I blocked them and thought that's it. But now I know they can still follow me, see my actions on Xbox LIVE, know what and when I play and even hear me in voice
    chat.

    When I block someone, I shouldn't exist in his Xbox world anymore.

    1) Do something to prevent these spamaccounts!

    2) Change the friends system, so I can decide who follows me or even better make it a normal friends list again with "ask for permission" and "acceptance or denial" answer.

    3) Enhance the blocking feature to what it is on any other platform or website: If I block someone I don't want to see him and even more important I don't want him to see me. Make me virtually nonexistent for the blocked person.

    Thank you

    :)

    Spawn Trapping

    [quote user="a tired old guy"]

    [quote user=""]If you want to get really technical, spawn trapping could be considered 'cheating' due to the fact is using a known exploit on certain maps and game types. Im on both sides of the fence, if you are bad enough to get trapped its your
    own fault and I believe its cheating as well.[/quote]

    Exploit ....... I love how people constantly use that word.Taking advantage of the fact that people spawn in a certain area ........ the way the developers created the game.

    If that is an exploit, I suppose then killing someone with a gun anytime, anywhere in the game would also be an "exploit' because you're taking advantage of the fact that when a bullet strikes an enemy. it has a tendancy to inflict damage on their health.

    Spawn trapping is dirty and cheap ............. it may not be "ethical" to do it in certain ways. As a matter of fact, it may be outright douchebaggerish ........

    But please ............ lets stop using the term "exploit" except for in cases where the developers claim something is such, and therefore would be cheating according to the xbox tos or coc. Its basically doing nothing but calling someone a cheater, when
    there is no proof, rules or official grounds to be calling such person a cheater.

    [/quote]

    Obviously you arent intelligent enough to know what an exploit is. The game developers did NOT purposefully design maps and game types that allows teams to only spawn in one area. When its not designed by the developers to work in a certain way ,its an exploit.





    OMA isnt an exploit. It wasnt design very well.

    The Division, What we know so far, and going on into the future.....

    so you think its correct you do the hard incursion to gear up so you can go out in the the standard events and get the highest end game drops, and by pass challenging incursion, interesting.

    Also, if you read my posts they aren't negative to the bugs and exploits they are issues with the game mechanics, and while they are fixing the bugs and exploits they are not address the things which would make the game more enjoyable IMO.

    Do the developers listern to us, the shot gunners and be a problem all the way through, they have been reported to be an issue by the community, and they have done nothing to change them, or look at how they work.

    I cant play live for COD world at war because of hackers

    Many suggest Playing with friends on hardcore mode is the most effective way of avoiding exploiters. Hackers plague every title in way or another, WAW is a great example of this, including COD 4. But let me give you
    some advice so you can be safe-


    1. Enter a hacked match- Dashboard or turn off Xbox ASAP
    2. Get a random game invite?- Decline it.
    3. Tired of the hackers?- Gets some friends and goof around on Private Match.
    Seems a-bit much, but Neither Infinity Ward nor Activision is doing anything about the exploiters...
    So this is the best any of us can do now...

    • Also, should you be plagued by the negative XP exploit, either have a friend invite you into matches, or you "could" try calling Activision Support for assistance, but don't expect any results out of it...
