Popular Post DBZ0wnz Posted October 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2020 I just spent half my day helping this guy who has 2 accounts in gta4 and all I asked was for helping just idling for races. This heathen/negative misleading booster who I won't name unless you want it and as I helped him get this trophies it was my turn. As soon as he created the room, he started up the game then immediately blocked, deleted me and quit out. Now I haven't boosted in a Very long time but I reckon this should be something that should be looked at, good boosters/trophy hunters and the bad. So If we can down-vote and up-vote those people, the better idea who were boosting with, we can have a better idea who to look out or in regards for boosting in gaming sessions and/or in discord or something. I don't want this to happen to anyone else and the feeling of being used to be on others shoulders. I did learn a lesson today that I won't forget in regards to trophy hunting. If this could at least grow a seed, i'd be happy. Thanks for reading. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraniteSnake Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Unfortunate but these things happen. They seem to be very strict about ‘naming and shaming’ on this website so there isn’t anything you can do about it, just hope you are more lucky in the future 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeachXHime Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I'm so sorry people keep bailing on you while trying to do GTA IV. The greed over some virtual accomplishments, preferring it even returning the favor, and being a decent person. I really hope someone will help you out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beware_Of_Bob Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 You can give scores to people after a boosting session is over. I'm not sure if those scores matter though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is only 11 years old after all... Just looking for decent people to be friends with, such as yourself. Faith drops pretty fast when I come back to boosting, my first game. 8 minutes ago, Beware_Of_Bob said: You can give scores to people after a boosting session is over.

Eqill5 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It’s a shame people feel it’s alright to use others and give nothing in return. I’d say these kind of people are in a very small minority when it comes to boosting though. I’ve fortunately never experienced it, when I’ve boosted in the past I’ve been lucky enough to find myself with people that will often go above and beyond to help everyone in the group achieve what they’re setting out for. Whether that be replaying co-op missions multiple times or repeating requirements for trophies even after they’ve done them for themselves etc. And I always make sure to do the same, spending an extra bit of time on a game doesn’t matter if you can help people that are helping you. Try not to let one idiot put you off. I hope you find someone that will help get your trophies soon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post FawltyPowers Posted October 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2020 If they are on this site it wouldn't hurt if you just happened to write as a status on their page: "Hi mate, I was helping you boost GTA IV last night and after you got everything you needed I believe you had to quit the game because of something urgent in real life, awful timing. You then accidentally blocked and deleted me, probably thinking I was someone else. I know it was an accident as I'm sure you would want to help me after all I did, anyway, If you could get back in touch we can finish what we started. Many thanks" Then we could all just happen to have a look at who it was, no naming and shaming there, just trying to get to the bottom of what we're all sure was just a misunderstanding. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gernboes Posted October 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2020 Thats why i always insist on taking turns when boosting... I help you one match or whatever, you help me one match. That way the worst that can happen is that i helped for a short time and got nothing in return. But helping the other one half a day and only then getting something in return? No chance! If somebody wants to boost that way, i reckon they plan from the beginning to disappear when its their turn to help... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest_01 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Whilst I get that it could be open to abuse from people that just have grudges against each other (for either good or no reason), it baffles me that there is no way to flag a player like that as being a ‘bad sport’ or something similar. I don’t tend to do a lot of boosting, but if I ever need to/choose to, I would rather know if the person I am getting in with is likely to dine & dash.

Charizarzar Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 That sucks. I’ve had something similar happen before in a handful of boosting groups, either making an excuse to leave once they’ve got their trophies or never returning for future sessions. Have to say though, yours sounds a lot worse because of how long and dull those GTA IV races are and because they were cowardly enough to block you. It’s unlikely you’ll come across many people like that again, but next time maybe insist on going first or take the wins in turns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Bane999 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 This happens all one can do is move on. Btw if they were part of a boosting session you made on the site after the boosting session expires naturally you can leave negative feedback and mark they were not helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big problem I have is only the people in the boost know what happens in a boosting session. No one else is monitoring it. Any one of them can come out and say anything they want and then the tags or labels stick and they’re judged by that and only that afterward. Moderating what happens off this site is not something I think this site should be involving itself with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT__Jedi Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hey, unfortunately it happens. I've been in so many boosting sessions where the guy who created the session never shows up or answers his messages, shows up 1/2 hour late with no explanation, starts the session but says we'll have to wait because his friends want to boost first in the session, the session leader goes on a rant screaming at everyone in the session, or leaves the session as soon as he get the trophy. Sucks, but that is one of the problems with playing with real people. It is what it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghanupher Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 That's what I like about Trueachievements' site: you can leave feedback after each session that translates into a +/- into your overall percentage score, giving you a little hint about anyone that joins a session with you in regards to his commitment to it. But then again, a-holes are everywhere. Idiocy doesn't know of age, gender, nor nationality. Hope you have better luck next time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am4z1n9_AZ Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 One thing I like about trueachievements is their boosting session system. With the ability to give feedback after sessions are over it becomes useful when hosting sessions to weed out the bad gamers. If you host the session you can review people who join and let them in depending their feedback so you can reject the no showers, selfish gamers and trolls. Only negative with the feedback system is sometimes it can be abused. You can get down voted for no reason, whether it's jealousy or trolling which should be reviewed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderating what happens off this site is not something I think this site should be involving itself with. Yeah, I appreciate that it’s something that is quite widely open to abuse & almost impossible to manage - I wasn’t trying to suggest that “something must be done” whilst smashing my fist into my hand, but in an ideal world, it would be great to see something that would deter these people from being asshats. But I don’t know what that 'thing' would actually be. That said, unfortunately it isn’t an ideal world & as others have suggested, the best deterrent is probably a ‘one for one’ scenario rather than giving everything up & letting them get what they want at the risk of you not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BlindMango Posted October 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) I agree there's a lot of improvements that really need to be done for Gaming Sessions and people don't even use a lot of things in it correctly anymore or abuse the features (i.e. keep pushing the date back for 6+ months and no session actually taking place). Then there's the reputation system that was never fully completed. The case you shared is frustrating, but when I'm in a session I always only lay out rules or agree to rules like taking turns, meaning he should have done Race 1 then you should have done Race 1 immediately after, then both of you do Race 2, and so on. Doing everything for one person first before moving to the next person always seems to result in some sort of mishap Edited October 28, 2020 by BlindMango 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
