To clarify, this is NOT a case of being removed for idling during an active match, which I totally agree should happen. This is being removed before the match even begins while the lobby is trying to fill up with enough players, which is absurd. Has happened twice in the past 2 days. See video clip on OneDrive:

    I have a serious problem with the Error Code.217. I can't put my controller down to scratch my back without getting booted. I Am getting so Dahm tired of being in a game and just, maybe if I happen to stand still just a second to long, BAM!!! I'm Booted. Can somebody tell me the real time limit to this crap if there is one? I'm on Xbox One X. Basically what this means is the game Developers want you to always Focus on the game Non-Stop and nothing else in life. If something comes up, You get booted. I think the Idle boot time is like 30 or 45 seconds before you get booted. It's happened enough times to me where I can have a pretty good guess. I just want to play the game and not have to worry about if I'm standing still too long in one spot. Nobody makes a game where you have to run around non-stop like an idiot or you get kicked from the game. But EA did. How are you going to snipe somebody when you get booted for standing still for a length of time? Everybody uses a sniper rifle like an assault rifle. They have to in this game or get booted. I'm military. IRL Snipers don't run around on the battlefield to shoot people with a Sniper Rifle. They hide and wait for the right moment and kill from a distance (Quietly). At least nobody gets booted from any Halo game or Gears of War game.

    This is on the older side of time, I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.
