Hey all, are recoveries against the ToS? I see streamers offering them in raffles and thought about entering but I don't want to violate ToS. I checked the ToS and couldn't find anything other than in the code of conduct it mentions that trying to get people to PAY you for a recov/carry is against code of conduct. Is there an official article on this?
I don't want to hurt the community or go against ToS. But I wouldn't mind entering in raffles to get some trials loot (and there's no way I'm going to the lighthouse on my own). And for what it's worth, these people are streaming and not cheating (I know some recov services get you banned because people doing them cheat).

Edited by ADragonWithin: 7/23/2021 8:12:39 PMPlease read the [url=https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Legal/SLA]SLA[/url], [url=https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Legal/CodeOfConduct]Code of Conduct[/url], as well as the account terms for Playstation and Steam. Recoveries are highly discouraged due to obvious security and safety risks, such as providing strangers access to your personal and private information with no guarantee they will not use it maliciously. Soliciting recoveries on Bungie.net, whether free or paid, is a violation of the site ToS and subject to restricted use of the site, including up to being permanently banned. If you participate in an account recovery offered by someone else and that person uses cheats, with or without your knowledge, it is highly likely for your account to be permanently banned from the game.

5 RepliesSo officially if a streamer offers to carry you thru trials they can by all means do that. But recov implies they intend on selling it to you. As soon as a transaction or sharing your account information is involved then it is against the TOS. Basically you would have to be with them in their group and pay no money for it to be legal. But Bungie is delayed on some actions so your ban could come later than you think

You won't be banned

7 RepliesLet's see... Bungie says "do not allow recoveries". Sony says "do not allow recoveries". Microsoft says "do not allow recoveries" Steam says "do not allow recoveries". Governments say "do not give out private account details to strangers". Every week we see the results of people allowing strangers to recover their account to do activities. Accounts banned because the person doing the recovery used cheats. Characters deleted in some sick joke. Accounts stolen to be sold on eBay. And more and more often as people allow cross save so the person doing the recovery can use another platform... strange accounts left linked. And for those reading this.... Remember it is not only your D2 data at risk but EVERYTHING on your account. Every game. This goes double if you have linked bank details to your account.

1 ReplyRecovs of any kind are against ToS as it involves giving your account information to someone else, allowing them to log into your account and play as you. Anything bad they do (using hacks, griefing, etc.) will be directly connected to your account. Often 'free' recovs use these accounts to test out various cheating means.. Carries can be okay, if they are not hackers. I would only get a carry from someone you know and trust to not be cheating.
