****UPDATE****
As my notification said 1 week restriction. I am able to play crucible again no problem. I have been watching my connection and tested in game - looking strong!
My Trials gear also works so I shouldnt be restricted with that either!
Stay patient friends and see you all when you get back in!
Hello all!
Like many have been posting over the last 24hrs I too have received a restriction from Destiny.
Without getting salty I read through the policy as to why and what may have caused this. I have been "deemed", by bungie, to have an unstable connection and have been restricted from Trials for 1 week. upon logging in I am not restricted from just the activity stated as outlined in the policy. Instead I cannot access any PvP including SRL.
I am not posting to automatically have this over turned if they believe it is warranted, but to voice a concern to it not being legit or maybe a glitch in the update? Filter through whining people who may have issues there seem to be some intelligent people with knowledge around connections saying something isn't right... not to blow my own horn but I too have some knowledge as my 9-5 is a PreSales Architect for Network infrastructure, security, and traffic monitoring. I like to think I have my home network and internet configured to allow for smooth gaming experiences - to note I am not using wifi and I am hard wired. I do not have problems in any game online. My only problem in Destiny would be the usual "Red Bars" on other teams which I can ignore knowing I can re-queue for the next match.
Looking for some information as this doesn't seem all ok and appears to be many loyal players restricted for little to no explanation. I hope this doesn't continue as more players will go elsewhere...
***Side Salt (haha) - After yet another content drought that we are expected to live through we are then expected to jump right back because there is finally something to do again.....nope you are restricted... this certainly makes me want to remain loyal...
For any mentors and moderators that want to blindly post the policy page as a reply let me do it for you below as you are not helping anyone who has a legitimate concern:
[i]
"In destiny there are bans and restrictions. Bans are permanent, while restrictions are temporary. Bungie will not discuss or overturn bans or restrictions under any circumstances.
Please keep in mind poor and unstable connection does qualify for a restriction, or ban in serious occasions.
No player is banned or restricted based on reports alone, every user is thoroughly investigated to obtain proof of misdeeds before action is taken on thier account:

If your restriction was due to bad connection please see bungie's Network troubleshooting guide"[/i]
