[url=https://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Account-Restrictions-and-Banning-Policies/en/Help/Article/11929][b]ACCOUNT BAN/RESTRICTION POLICY[/b][/url] No you did not get restricted because someone reported you for blink shotgun/invis shotgun ... No you did not get restricted because it was 'someone else's internet' causing you to lag * (this means there is a note here) ... No you did not get restricted because Bungie has a vendetta against *good* players ... Here is the deal, you were restricted for one of a couple reasons: 1) You lag switched or manipulated network traffic. Usually this will result in an all out ban but it seems of late they are being a bit forgiving and giving those that do this a second chance to prove they still 'deserve' to play the game (note: Blizzard took the opposite approach and straight out multi-banned these fools). 2) In reference to #1, you PLAYED with someone who was lag switching which means THEY HAVE TO BE IN YOUR FIRETEAM. This is guilt by association because you benefit from their network manipulation so yes you will be restricted too, deal with it. 3) You lagged because of either a poor connection or poorly configured connection. Plain and simple and not just in one match and not just one report. You can cry, moan and whine up and down about having 'perfect' internet connection but NO one has a perfect internet connection. And this is why Bungie REVIEWS the reporting not just restricting people outright for poor connection reports. There are server logs and traceroutes and ping responses and a whole slew of other technical mumbo jumbo that they can review upon your connection to the switching servers that show your consistent lagging. "But I didn't see any lag!" Of course not, you don't see the lag, it is the other players that see it. It is amazingly frustrating and painful to play against those with poor connections. 4) This is the *** that I mentioned before. As with #2, you played with someone in your Fireteam that had poor connection. Again, guilt by association, you benefited from it, you get restricted for it. 5) The least likely, but still possible, you are playing on a modified console or something with custom firmware. This is a no-no and in Y1 Destiny gave you a permanent vacation. But like I said, they seem to be a more forgiving Bungie now and give you a chance to 'fix' your problems. Now understand, Bungie won't discuss these restrictions or bans. You will not get it overturned no matter how much you complain. You need to bide your time in silence and fix whatever might be your problem. The problem [b]IS NOT[/b] (or more to the point .. cannot) be Bungie's servers because plain and simple this is NOT a hosted game. It is a Peer-To-Peer hosted game which means the servers themselves simply are switching servers. The only time there is a problem with the servers, it is a mass outage, not just a hand picked few of you that feel a persecution complex. I'll post a few of my previous postings that I have made as well to possibly help those that want help, otherwise ... yes you are restricted, no it will not be lifted, and no there is no one you can 'talk' to about this. Those are the rules, you agreed to the rules when you agreed to the EULA. Don't like it, don't play the game plain and simple. Don't feel that it is fair that Bungie restricts people with poor internet because of the fact that <insert multiple excuses here>, too bad ... it is their game, they stated you need a [i]premium[/i] internet connection to play it (note: NOT just broadband ... [b]premium[/b]). They have stated in at least [b]FOUR[b] (4) weekly updates that they would be liberal with the restriction hammer for those that lag. Again, you agreed to the EULA and continued to play therefore it is their right to restrict you. No you cannot sue. You could file a complaint with the BBB (don't think they are registered but you could try) but they are not blocking you from playing the game, they are preventing you from making the game experience poor for other people. And again, YOU AGREED TO THE EULA which you are in violation of (along with their addendums they state in their weekly updates. Don't read the weekly updates? Not knowing the rules does not make you immune to them. While it may seem like I am being a complete jerk posting this, nothing could be farther from the truth. I have helped numerous people configure their connections and even at times told them point blank, "STAY OUT OF THE CRUCIBLE". I do not want you restricted either unless you are going to continue to ruin the experience for other players. And regardless of what you think, it does ruing the experience (even in the PvE arena, which is ALSO P2P). Sorry to be like this but someone has to say what a majority of the player base is thinking. And no, it is not a majority of the player base being restricted or getting error codes galore. There are estimates that somewhere between 3-10 million people play Destiny daily. Most of us have no problems, or at best absolutely intermittent ones. [spoiler]Moderator edit: This thread has been moved to the #Destiny forum.
