This is similar in concept to what retail stores used to do if you tried to write a personal check for a purchase. They would often have signage that said you had to have a check numbered 500, 1000, or above, hoping that they could avoid fraud and trust the personal checks more when someone had written many checks in the past. Whether its 1000, or even just 100, I think having some sort of "barrier to entry" like this is a great concept. You have my vote (++) X

This is a fantastic idea and is just one more layer Bungie can add to their anti-cheat protection. Banning IP is tricky, because a lot of people use VPN's. Banning computer ID isn't that great either, because one can simply reseat their RAM. There needs to be software that can identify impossible variables, like infinite power ammo or grenades. I don't know how aimbots and wall-hacks work, but I assume they interact with Destiny 2's code. There needs to be some sort of software that would recognize this and permanently ban that account. People should be required to own the most recent expansion pack (shadowkeep right now) to play Trials. There is not going to be a magic bullet that solves all the problems. Bungie will need to utilize a multi-layered approach - each by itself seem like a small step, but when added up together they will be very effective. Please Bungie for the sake of Destiny 2, fix this now! I don't even play Trials, but I want to, and it sucks to hear people on YouTube slamming this awesome game. Your player base is bleeding out! Cauterize the wound!

Cheaters became much more common when Bungie made the game f2p, like Cr33ps said, you can get a trials ready account for $5 and use that account to cheat carry others for profit. Reporting cheaters and eventually their accounts being banned dosent stop them from getting another account and using that, the only real way to stop them permanently once they get caught is to IP ban them.

Man, trials ready accounts cost $5. This will increase the cost to 15-20 but won’t solve the problem that much.
