Social media has helped me link up with guys who like to race the right way. For example I’m on a forum for Northern California Evo owners. I posted about Forza 6 and got a lot of responses within minutes of gamer tags and their thoughts on the game. Private matches and rival is how I get the most out of the online experience. Someone suggested ghosting the first turn, sounds awesome to me.
Use the Xbox One method of reporting this game-disrupting behavior (poor sportsmanship) by going into Friends in the Dashboard, then Find the gamertag and REPORT the actions. Those reports go to the Xbox Live Policy Enforcement Team (PET) and they have the capabilities to join offenders during their online sessions for observation and warning.
Not only will those incidents result in PET taking actions, but they have the power to instantly ban those who challenge what they warn about - not just from the game itself but Xbox Live. That really gets the attention of people who are destroying game play for others.
Don’t get into discussions with the offenders or retaliate, just observe, remember the gamertag and file the report. Let PET handle it without attempting to tell the offender how wrong they are or using retaliation. It is simple and effective when PET puts a leash on the crasher.
Remember, too, when PET issues a ban on a gamertag, it isn’t just for a single game, it is a time out from Xbox Live.
Good post!
I have been playing since FM2 and online has never really changed, just find a good group of people who want to race properly - feel free to add me - paganpete999 - I am a friendly racer (not greatat driving and winning, but the taking part is what counts) - always looking for good peeps to race with.
