Well, for the last month or so due to no fault of my own, my upload speeds have been super inconsistent (ranging from, 300 kpbs to 3 mbps causing red yellow green bar inconsistencies), and my download has been fine (45 mbps). I play crucible and trials only, I was worried my yellow and red bar could possibly get me banned or suspended, and two days after my isp fixed my issue (back to 45mbps down and 6mbps up) (it was my whole zip codes upload speeds were messed up) I'm restricted from crucible for 2 weeks!
I'm salty, yes, considering I see dosers frequently get away with it, but I'm glad people with shit connections get looked at as well. Even if it happened to me. Temporary problem out of my control, which has now been fixed (thanks at&t for the prompt fix, aholes) but at least I know someone is swinging that hammer.
Edit: lots of differing opinions in here, let's keep the discussion going.
Edit 2: obligatory "we're trending" edit.

Edited by Jamo_3000: 12/2/2016 1:21:34 AMIf your internet ping or connection is below a certain standard people should not be aloud to connect to Bungies servers! People like you ruin everyone's experience in crucible! Piss off and go play sonic the hedgehog!

Here's proof it doesn't work: I have lagged in every single match i have played in destiny. Red bar every time. Its just that my wifi sucks and i cannot do anything about it. I haven't gotten a warning, ban, or restriction in my 35 ish days of playtime.
-
They are too strict in the forums. I cannot call someone stupid. I have 3 warnings. But seriously they need to crack down on DDOSers because just laggy people are erring hir a bit harder now. Improvements could be made but it is not necessary
-
Im living proof the banhammer works, at least on the forums. I've been banned at least 6 times, mostly just for jokes (that people liked) and for calling people desticles. But just like the bans in game I only got banned for a few weeks. [b][i][u]AND NOW IM BACK[/u][/i][/b]

Thats shitty but I know your pain I live in the middle of BFE and the best affordable internet i can get is 1.5mb/d but luckily i havent been suspended

Yeah AT&T will do that, their network is so antiquated in locations. I will be switching to Comcast when the opportunity presents itself. AT&T's upload is horrendous.
-
I was banned from crucible too this is the 2nd account I have made a while ago just in case if something like this happened
-
I have been banned for 2 weeks and I got unbanned yesterday. Why, because I posted a rant on hunters because a guy wanted one. I kinda understand why though.
-
Wait, it's possible to get banned?
-
The smart thing to do is not give a shit and go play something else that you miraculously don't ever go red on.
-
Ok so your proof is that your connection was basically shit for a month and then something finally happened? It is that exact thought process that allows Bungie to get away with their piss poor PvP set up. Just a thought.

I've been on red bar since launch always getting abuse for having a bad laggy connection. Been reported a billion times. And I've still not been banned.

Edited by bilbo t baginzz: 12/2/2016 2:47:50 AMHonestly i report EVERYONE who is red bar when we are flying into the game. I dont care who you are or why you are lagging. Sometimes im red bar and i would expect people to also report me. EDIT: so many people saying these report "clog" the system... acting as if theres a single bloke whos job it is to look through every report. lol, the stupidity on these forums never ceases to amaze me.

Bungie wanted to make more profit by not using big server farms for the game and used shitty P2P networking instead! So we are to ban for bad connections, but Bungie can ignore to deliver an essential feature. Why did I pay 170€? Bungievision is a bad company, but you fanboys love a good whipping by your slave masters. smh
-
Says you...
-
Shame it happened the way it did but nice that your not complaining. Hope all if better with the new connection!
-
Well... it wouldn't matter as much if Deatiny had DEDICATED SERVERS for PVP. That in addition to a solid latency compensation engine, combined with a 30hz server.... probably would have dramtically improved your expirence and you may not be restricted today. But unfortunately.... that shit doesn't sell silver.
-
I'm also proof the hammer works. I got banned for hacking/cheating. I posted a link to a video in my xbox dvr/onedrive. I was on shield brothers strike, walked in the bosses room and died. [spoiler]1 month ban[/spoiler]
-
Edited by PhillyPhil75: 11/30/2016 9:11:40 PMY aren't they banning the real cheaters?
-
I report every single red bar as 'cheating' and 'bad connection' if they step a foot into the crucible.
-
If they ban all the red bars there will be no one left to play destiny! But seriously, if they keep banning people you will never find any matches.
-
Every time I go to my in-laws I am afraid THIS will happen to me. My brother-in-law and I play on the same network causing both of us to have a red bars.
-
May want to contact Bungie and let them know that the matter has been fixed. They may be willing to reconsider the temporary ban.
