People banned for running tool for a different game in the background

Hello Bungie-Supportteam & Community :) I've already been in contact with the Blizzard-Support, but they redirected me here instead. This is not "directly" related to D2, so I'll make this as short but as detailed as possible. So to get straight to the point, I'm the developer of a few various "modtools" for Borderlands 2 & Borderlands The Pre Sequel. One of them is a DLL, which either of these games loads by itself (nothing is "injected" anywhere, despite its name). It can be found here: [spoiler]https://github.com/c0dycode/BL-CommandInjector[/spoiler] This also shouldn't be causing a ban in D2, since it's only loaded when either of these games is running, which was not the case from the reports we've heard about. (also "lives" in a completely different address space). This creates a NamedPipe to act as some kind of "API" between the game (Borderlands 2 or Borderlands The Pre Sequel) and 3rd party tools to send data to/receive data from the game via. the games own Console Commands. One tool that utilizes this DLL is the "Borderlands Commander", which can be found here: [spoiler]https://github.com/mopioid/Borderlands-Commander[/spoiler] This registers a few Hotkeys and upon pressing one of them, it sends the assigned Console Command via. the NamedPipe directly into Borderlands 2 for example. Now the reason why I'm posting this is: The developer of the "Borderlands Commander" & others have received a few messages of people saying that they were banned from Destiny 2 and they suspect it was due to "Borderlands Commander" still running in the background. Now, I don't expect any detailed information. I was just hoping to be able resolve this on both ends. We obviously want to avoid anybody getting banned from any unrelated games. If needed, I can also provide at least 3 Battle.Net Accountnames that are affected by this, or maybe they'll show up in here themselves. If you need any sourcecode to check for yourselves, we can provide them to hopefully resolve this for those users. Thank you so much for your time :)

      • So is there absolutely any updates? Can't leave us hanging like that after giving a glimmer of hope. Honestly thought they'd see the light in this situation.

        • Its crazy how silent bungie is on this, There should be some kind of assessment as to what caused the ban especially if it has nothing to do with the game.

          • Everybody that tried to DM me so far and possibly in the future: I can not answer your DM's due to me not owning Destiny. This is a simple Anti-Spam feature. At the moment I have no other information about the situation than you. Should I have any information which I'm allowed to share with you, I'll keep you updated here. I understand that it's difficult for you guys, but please be a little more patient. Thanks <3

                Love how when there's a bug that positively impacts gameplay, Bungie fixes it instantly. But when there's a bug that's falsely banning people, they don't do anything. I see what you're doing, Bungie. With a ban policy that's so damn strict you're pretty trigger happy on banning people even if they didn't deserve it, and not giving them a way to dispute. Some would call it scummy, others wouldn't. I say it's so Bungie doesn't have to deal with cheaters being salty about being banned...but then there's the people that get wrongfully banned and can't do anything about it. This is not a hate message to Bungie. This is just my opinion on the situation. Love how I've played PC since day one and I get this crap, but the people DDoSing in Trials don't get anything. Not saying playing since day one should mean anything, I'm just saying they shouldn't turn a blind eye on their most loyal players.

                        I gotta say, this is one of the most standup things I’ve seen in a while. Kudos for being a responsible developer and advocating for your users, especially in a forum for a game you don’t generally deal with. Just as an FYI, Bungie is pretty tight lipped about account bans and restrictions. Hopefully they’ll contact you privately. Hope my bump and upvote helps.

                        • Same here I was also banned before the 2.0.0 update. I had "Borderlands Commander" Running in the background. I am deeply upset of this because, I had just pre-ordered Forsaken a month before the ban. Now that I have been banned I lost everything. I really hope Bungie can shed some light on this, and unban the people who were wrongfully accused.

                            • I was secretly hoping the update for the game that literally just happened would fix our bans but nope nothing.

                                • im thinking essentially if your the 1% of people who like to play games and mod/code you might as well use virtual box for destiny

                                    • I'm a PC player vet and get what you're looking to do here. However I'm not sure they should do anything. Much less take the time to look at the source code. It's been clearly stated that certain background processes/tools will not be allowed to be used so if this 'modtool' was detected as such they have every right to leave the ban. Now, I can see if this was 'accidental' as in you didn't know it would be detected as an 'illegal' program, but...If I was Bungie and was in a forgiving mood I would Unban you with the assurance that you would turn off this 'tool' before playing Destiny. I would not 'whitelist' this tool from their detection system.
