Since the ban hammer has been swung, there are many people who claim that it's due to their crappy Internet. Be it their modem, router, or ISP that causes them lag.
[b]My question is this,[/b] should people with crappy internet be banned EDIT: "Temporarily Restricted."?
And can you think up of a solution for those who legit have bad connections? Maybe a "Lagged Lobby?"
I have my own opinion that if the lag gives them an advantage, then they should be banned or restricted. It is common knowledge that a fast and reliable Internet is necessary for games like this- it's also printed on the box.
Just want to see where people stand.
And keep it civil! People are still people, crappy Internet or not!
[b]EDIT 2[/b] Should there be a "sorry you can't play till your internet is better" restriction? Essentially a ban/restriction that you can do something about.
I know that Bungie seriously investigates all claims but nothing is 100% fool proof. [i]However[/i], I do believe most bans are legitimate.
And thanks all for being civil.
[b]EDIT 3[/b] To clarify where I stand (I guess ban isn't the word I would use for it). With how things are currently set up with Bungie and their policy, legitimate lag or manipulated lag, if is to your advantage, it should be "punishable."
Ideally, dedicates servers and a game play much like COD where you experience your own lag a lot where it forces and frustrates you to try and fix your connections! Credit to the user below!

But also many other games do have dedicated servers and the worst connections do not have that much of a problem. When bungie choose to ban the people for "just bad internet" and this may be the case, bungie are just hurting them selves. My internet is not good or bad. I have chosen the profile on my router, it gives me a faster connection response rather then a faster download. This does help a lot and I don't lag much on bungies non dedicated servers.
