The Reputation System is by far the most broken thing on the Xbox One. Many players have been reported or blocked for being too good, using certain items characters etc and that causes their reputation to go down.

With games such as Gears of War, Overwatch, Halo etc many people have come forward saying that their reputation has been set to "Avoid Me,". Over the course of the last two years, such incidents of good players getting banned have been becoming more and more prevalent, yet Microsoft and its Xbox division have been completely ignoring this issue.

When a players reputation is set to "Avoid Me,", the can't get into any online games except with people who have "Avoid Me" as their reputation status, and in games that are multiplayer only this is a big issue. Some games even flat out reject players from searching or matchmaking for games. This in itself is an issue when the ONLY way for a player to have their reputation reset is to "play online without being reported".

If you were to contact Xbox Support, they'd tell you to play multiplayer without being reported to level up your reputation and just link you to the reputation page. Since the enforcement team had their forums removed there is no way to even appeal the issue with them anymore leaving the player either stuck in this situation or force them to keep trying to play games for an undisclosed amount of time, number of games, and number of players.

Whilst Xbox's whole report system is flawed and works in favor of trolls, the reputation system is outright broken and doesn't work. Some players have reported playing every day for a few hours over a week with thousands of players and not seen any effects on their reputation, meanwhile all it takes for your reputation to get lowered to this level is a group of trolls to spam reports, which in itself is against the Microsoft Terms of Use and Code of Conduct and is a bannable offence.



The xbox community has been trying to get this system changed or better yet removed for too long now and something needs to be done to make Microsoft see that enough is enough.
