The Rep System

Hey guys.

I've been having a few issues with the rep system lately.

First off all, it isn't false reviews against me, and me complaining, it's far from that.

It's a general enquiry. Is the xbox rep-system actually broken/down/unresponsive at this point in time? (and the last month)

It's a serious question I would like to know, it's driving me crazy.

Please do not post saying 'you'll get rep over time etc, I do know this and trust me, somethings wrong

I'd like to also add, I've seen quite a few requests about this topic, as it seems i'm not the only one suffering.

I created this account around just under 2 months ago, I think. You know usually, when you're on a new account, you add your mates, get them to good review you and BAM! 5 stars there! sometimes it's there without even a day on the account. Well I've had my account for over a month now, with a counted total of 40+ good player reviews.

Yes I know the rep system is flawed, but it's never been like this before, and yes I know it's pointless.

But it's starting to drive me crazy. It looks incomplete without the 5 stars. FYI (and I know it's pointless) but I do have 85% preferred and 15% avoided.

We all know it used to take a minimum of 5 players to rep you and a solid night of multiplayer and it was there, but now, it actually feels legit broken.

So I decided to go to some investigating.

If you were ever in one of those moods to just randomly look in your recent players and give them good rep (i do it everynow and then) well I have been

So for the past week, before I go to bed each night, I've scouted my recent players list and seen any accounts with 3 stars, and I'd give them all good rep. 

Well

I did it for 60+ gamers. And not one of them starts budged a bit! Each of their accounts didn't increase at all in rep.

Now that is bizzare. It's never been like this.

And again, I know that the rep system is flawed, but this is definitely a glitch, or something.

One last thing, a few people I know, who have made new accounts recently, for MW3 and GoW3 clan matches, all of their accounts are within 2 months old too, and all have 3 starts rep. It seems like the rep system has frozen?

All I want to know is will it get fixed and will I get my 5 stars :/

Also, please don't reply with 'just keep playing online' I'm 3rd prestige on Mw3 and Lv90 on Gears 3, and Lv30 on Battlefield.

I've played heaps, and have 95 friends too.              Thanks for your time!

  • ITS BROKEN. Its that simple. And microsoft wont do jack ***.

    Remember those account "hacks". Microsoft blames phishing scams and other end user related faults. Do you still believe them? If they cant even keep a simple system like this up and running (or even be aware of its broken state), how can they say that their network is secure?

  • Yeah I just read up on all the "FIFA hacks"  where accounts are stolen and points purchased off the original owners credit cards to buy family gold packs and player packs ect and nearly half the people dont even own the game and then their accounts were migrated to another country making all their original dlc for other games useless?

    I have to admit that Microsoft or EA certainly seems to have an issue with security...  Sure they can blame phishing scams ect but at the end of the day if its that easy to get into someones account and also change so many details and use their credit cards there IS more than likely a security issue....?? What I also noticed on the main thread about it there seemed to be almost no support staff commenting on anything or giving any explanation.. Guess we should be somewhat glad our situation is not as bad?

    Dont get me wrong I would still like our problem fixed I just dont see it taking any priority with them anytime soon  seeing as there has been no more "Support" to any of our threads regarding the REP issue =\

  • Hey Deppers and all - we still are actively looking into this issue for you. It may take a bit to chase it down as we are not able to reproduce this issue here, and it's hard to fix an issue if you can't see it. We do understand the inconvenience this has caused you, however, and we're still looking for a resolution for all affected users. Thank you for your patience in the meantime! :)

  • I've been having the same problem to.  my other accounts took a week at the most to hit 5 stars. its been 4 months for me and still at 3 stars, i know rep doesn't really mean anything but 3 stars seems ugly on my gamercard opposed to 5 stars.

  • I've been told by Microsoft that the servers need time to update your rep. I still don't believe that since its been months. But i'll just have to wait... And other accounts get to 5 stars in one day.

  • Microsoft is not doing anything about these issues.  It has been broken for MONTHS now and the best you get is every few weeks, someone post here, "we are looking into this issue."  Really, how hard is it to believe people and assign some Engineers to actually look into this?

    True that.

    I might make a new gamertag to see if I can get that one up. I doubt it. They need to stop saying they'll look into it and do nothing about it.

  • So Is this issue going to get fixed or will we be waiting another few months? The problem is with the servers, therefore a technician should go look into whats wrong and why its not synchronising properly? I wouldnt think it would need any more "looking into" than that?
