Repost from r/dtg since they claim my wording here encourages witch hunting.
So a couple weeks ago I got legitimately DDoS'd out of a match on floating gardens. They kicked me and one other teammate out leaving it a 1v3.
Of course the last man in game reported them, and I sent a permalink through their Bungie.net system since I couldn't do it in game.
Today I go to check them out and what a surprise, they are STILL at it based off their previous matches. The worst part is, THEY ARE LITERALLY RANKED IN THE TOP 10 FOR ELO. They have been kicking SO many teams out for THREE WEEKS STRAIGHT that they are actually ranked in the top 10. This just makes me wonder how effective their report system is, their automatic detection is or a combination of both. A case like this should have swift action with the banhammer yet [b]this guy has kicked out HUNDREDS of players[/b]. The sad part is this is probably the type of guy that will simply make another account. I know Microsoft can block a console from access to Xbox live.
Quote from TWAB: We have several team members whose full-time jobs are to ensure the security of your Destiny experience. They tell us that in-game reports are the best way to send us data on malicious activity. [b]All in-game reports of cheating are monitored, and our security team closely examines all of the top reported offenders.[/b]
Well let's see here. [b]I just looked at this guys past 35 games, and he won them with over 100 players marked as "Deserters"[/b] Is this not a top reported offender? Is this not fitting the criteria for your automated systems? Those were just from the past 10 days. This guy's been at it for over a month.
I understand the elo system is not endorsed or used by Bungie, but you have team members whose full-time job is to handle these ingame reports, you would think they would have noticed this guy having polar opposite stats.
Perhaps it is time to look into more of the data that is being logged. The automated system isn't efficient. If you hit a threshold of wins with "deserters" it should be an automatic redflag for your full-time team to review that player.
I'm sorry if this is breaking a rule for witch hunting, but maybe a witch hunt is needed at this point. Just needed to get this rant out there.

If someone gets kicked/ddos'd, the match should pause until the person gets back in. Maybe put a 3-4 minute timer on it? Yes it'll slow the game up but it might stop people doing it if people can rejoin.
-
I'd put money on it that they really aren't doing anything about it. They're basically just telling people what they want to hear and then going back to ignoring us.
-
It's funny how fast Bungie decides to ban people on the forums for doing a better job at reporting hackers than they do at banning them. GG shitty service. -blam!- their TOS
-
Salem witch trials anyone?
-
DDoSing is only possible because of the cancerous player to player connection system used by bungie, If bungie would finally use dedicated servers than this DoSing bullshit would stop because with dedicated servers these cheating scumbags wouldn't be able to access there opponents IPs and flood their servers to get them kicked. Its really that simple, I mean seriously? A half billion dollar budget and bungie couldn't afford dedicated servers?
-
DDOS sucks but the real problem is lag switching. Every match of trials red bars. So it's a two shotgun. Every dam one!!! So frustrating that there is nothing being done.

Just got DDOSed. Thanks Bungie.

Something smells funny

I dont know if anyone else here plays rainbow six, but in that ranked you have can reconnect to the ranked game if you get booted for whatever reason.

Bungo plz fix

This should be "most trending" due to severity of the issue. If you care "bump for justice". Bump.
-
you might as well face it, the pvp for this game is at best laughable and the worst completely fubared from the get go their "weapon balancing" where nothing is balanced and all they do is shift favor from meta to meta or nerf it so hard it becomes useless in pve thier "reporting policy" makes me wonder if actually there is anything set up. this is the most f^ucked up pvp ive ever seen and i think bungle handles it in much the same professionalism as a monkey slinging its own sh^t has
-
Got kicked from a game twice last night. As well as some other weird stuff going on. I have great internet. I'm hard wired and all. Never have any other problems with any other games.
-
Good job Bungie!!! Your -blam!-ing trial cheaters just kicked us from a match. WE WERE AT 2-2!! Who cheats at the beginning of the -blam!-ing passage. I know who... A BUNCH OF PU**YS THAT CANT WIN A TRIALS MATCH.
-
I think that automatic detection about as much use as their report a player thing, nothing more than just a "thing" to keep people happy, in reality, if they caught everyone that was cheating in trials there would be no trials
-
Bump. Great post, you are 100% correct

Edited by Boobel: 10/29/2016 12:43:48 PMBungie logic is to have these famous streamers to push their pvp stuff. Bungie won't drop the banhammer on these ddos clowns as it makes the streams and YouTube videos less interesting. Bungie are quick to change what they want, yet simply refuse to sort this issue out. They'll patch up map glitches, and consumable glitches at the drop of a hat. But show them proof of cheaters, ddos players and what do they do. Nothing, aside from saying they have measures in place. Deplorable.

Bungie Logic: "Are you DDoSing people to get free wins? Cool, keep going we don't care." - "Are you Red Bar-ing because we have shitty servers and our matchmaking connected you, a UK player, to a host on the East Coast of America? GET BANNED YOU PRICK!"
-
We need a witch hunt to put these cheating losers in their place
-
the way I figure it is Bungie cannot actually track the DOSing as it is being done to your IP , not Bungies. so instead of fixing it, they just ban anyone who reports the cheaters. and then give us a TW@B telling us that over 15K cheaters have been banned.
-
They discourage "name shaming" but the fact of the matter is, people are being cheated out of the game, and Bungie hasnt done everything they could to permanently ban these people. So until that happens, I encourage everyone to "name shame," because that seems to be the best way to get attention.
