Banned for using lagswitch to kill Crota

So I have 3 people on my friends list that used a lagswitch to "cheese" Crota a few days ago, this morning they (all three fireteam members) attempted to login and were greeted with friendly messages explaining they were banned. Keep in mind there was no real explanation the only thing that made them believe this is what got them banned was multiple references to the terms and services of xbox live and Bungie, and the fact that all three were banned. One of them then called Microsoft attempting to reverse the ban, they would not tell him anything at all but instead referred him to some Terms of Service page that read: "There are no options to dispute or overturn account restrictions or bans. Permanent account bans are only implemented with rigorous checking to ensure that the innocent are not punished alongside the guilty. There will be no responses to any communication from this process." In short, I wanted to pass this along because I was invited to participate and politely declined because I didn't want any part of it. I told them that what they were doing was most definitely NOT cheese and it probably could get them banned. Now 2 of the most active players on my roster will no longer be playing (at least not on those accounts) and all so they could avoid joining randoms to get it done. Just a fair warning to anyone willing to cheat to accomplish simple tasks, don't lagswitch or you may be banned. EDIT: the guys were only temporarily banned, I assume they've moved on from crota and now cheat on trials I dunno I removed them from my friends list. Edit: This thread was created in January when the hard mode crotas end was released, no one has trouble with crota these days and no one cheats on PVE stuff. stop necro bumping please

  • Yes people are getting banned on Xbox live for using a lag switch to kill crota. There are multiple ways for bungie to know that you used a lag switch. Probably the easiest, is the simple fact that there is only 1 enemy killed (crota), and the fact that crota dies roughly 30 seconds from the the time the person touched the crystal. To the person that says he works in the IT field. You are an idiot sir. There is no possible way you work in any computer field or you would know that bungie can tell if a person used a lag switch. This is just a warning to people. Please go cheese him. No body really cares, and I'm sure the OP doesn't care if anyone believes him. But if you get banned for using something outside of the game/console boundaries then do not cry about it. Because you have been warned.
