That reminds me, I really ought to kill myself

Bungo's boiler plate response: [quote]Hello Destiny community! Due to a recent resurgence in feedback about “DOSing & DDOSing” we wanted to take a minute to explain how and why the “Bungie's Ban Hammer” in Destiny behaves the way that it does… “Bungie's Ban Hammer” is a community-coined term that is being used to describe the frustration of missing the intended cheaters due to a lack of caring on our part. The cheaters aren’t disappearing, we just aren’t doing anything about it . Internally, we would call this specific aspect of our “Bungie Ban Hammer”, “Apathy,” which is one of the core values embedded deep in Bungie's ethics and Destiny PVP itself. When looking at “Bungie's Ban Hammer” archetypes, we wanted players to feel here at Bungie we are actually unable to identify cheaters because of Bungie's “Apathy”and an very convoluted understanding of how Banning work. Players can make the assumption that we care and Bungie will rectify the issue. These types of distinctive behaviors are of course false and are made fun of in interesting choices within Bungie and we delight in glee that no action is taken. In short, “Bungie's Ban Hammer”, with it's relatively short handle and no head, is not intended to be swung at all. Instead we want you to believe that it is big, heavy, packs a large punch and is "swung often". Always remember: Bungie control's narrative and shut's down any dissident voices so we always (as our friend Variks says) “Kill them dead.” We want to very sincerely say that this communique is meant to be argumentative and belittling of the consistent feedback we’ve received on the subject from you, our loyal and paying customers. Regardless of how “correctly” the “Bungie's Ban Hammer ” systems are working, the core message is that we don't care as long as you continue to "Throw money at the screen" (Don't forget to buy from Eververse!). We hear you and want you to believe that Bungie is improving on your experience, even though we're not trying in the very least. While it’s unlikely that we would care at all, we will investigate alternative options to completely ignore the community about any DDOSing, DOSing, or cheating of any kind. Destiny is a game that will continue to devolve well past Destiny2. Please remember this is our 10 year plan. You are wonderful people, the best community, and passionate about this game, unfortunately we just don't care at all to do anything that doesn't involve making you "Throw money at the screen" (Don't forget to buy from Eververse!) . Thank you for paying, and thank you for paying. [/quote] And Deej: [spoiler] Your move...[/spoiler]

Bungie gives no shits about this game

Now we got streamers, paid carries and now ddos hackers. Year three lighthouse trip nightfall mode madafakers😂😂😂😂

I don't see how that would feel rewarding.

They should eliminate the lighthouse in my opinion and make ALL the trials rewards from packages. Make them a bit more progressive such as a shaxx bounty. Eliminating the simple "go flawless to get sweet loot" and incorporating actual objectives such as kills and revives and assists and so forth will make dos attackers void. They will have to play..its too hard to attack dos players from bungies end uless they are caught in the act which will rarely happen. Very few bans go out regarding this. I thoroughly enjoy trials and mercury but in the current state its a terribly broken game mode full of cheaters..

Honestly if I saw a post on LFG advertising for a [u]free[/u] DDOS carry, I would be very attempted to join him. Simply because I've never been flawless, and Bungie deserves these kinds of people ruining their game because they have COMPLETELY taken the fun out of Crucible.

Remove trials out of the game.

I do that all the time. I ddos in iron banner today.

I say why not put them on blast? People that commit and are convicted of crimes is public information. Sex offenders have to register on a site for all to see. Obviously I'm not a fool and realize the difference in the offenses. But maybe if they know their name is out there, they may get tired of seeing that. Just a thought.

If Bungie would just remove the dumb tiering system and instead put in a playlist for people who have gone flawless and a playlist who haven't this wouldn't be anywhere near as much of an issue as it is today. [spoiler][i]I do not care about going to the lighthouse. I'm saying if they did this, more people wouldn't give a shit enough to the point where they have to cheat. Would it still happen? Yes, but not as often. [/i][/spoiler]

I was 8-0 and we got booted to orbit before the game started. Counted my loss and I was so frustrated. I've never been flawless and this just makes it so much worse.

Also people need to know how to say DDoS A capital D A capital D A lowercase o And a capital S

I paid over $100 for trials carry, but buying for a ddos carry is stupid af

I miss how often Bungie used to use the BanHammer. It was used [i]quite[/i] often.
