If you had a two week restriction then were given a two month restriction, you didn't sort out your connectivity issues. You'll have to wait it out. If you continue to play with connectivity issues they may issue further restrictions or possibly ban you from pvp activities permanently.

[quote]I do believe that it was because of one of the teams that I won against was a 4 stack and must have reported me because they were upset. [/quote] It does not work that way, reports are investigated before restrictions are placed, them reporting you alone would have done nothing. [quote]I have been restricted before, and that lasted 2 weeks. But 2 months?[/quote] connection restrictions are 2 weeks, then 2 months, then permanent. [quote]Is it in ANY way possible to possibly cut this short?[/quote] No. restrictions once placed must run out their time. I would strongly recommend taking steps to correct your connection issues to prevent the restriction from becoming permanent.

[quote]About a month ago, I received a message that I have inconsistent internet connection and that it was ruining the experience for other players. It also gave me a 2 month restriction for BAD INTERNET. I do believe that it was because of one of the teams that I won against was a 4 stack and must have reported me because they were upset. I have been restricted before, and that lasted 2 weeks. But 2 months? Is it in ANY way possible to possibly cut this short? [spoiler]Moderator edit: This thread has been moved to the #Help forum where you can find answers and troubleshoot any Destiny in-game/bungie.net/companion app issues, courtesy of other helpful players and Mentors. Feel free to private message the moderator who moved your post, link to topic, for further clarification about why this topic was moved.[/spoiler][/quote] There are 3 types of punishments for Destiny/Bungie. Bans, Restrictions and Suspensions. LEARN THE DIFFERENCE. BANS are permanent. The message usually says: "NOT SO FAST! This account has been banned." RESTRICTIONS are temporary. The message usually says: "RESTRICTED! This account is temporarily restricted from _______." If it is your 1st RESTRICTION it's USUALLY 2 weeks. If it is your 2nd RESTRICTION it's USUALLY 2 months. RESTRICTIONS can stack on each other, usually due to the severity and frequency of multiple reports overtime. So 2 weeks AND 2 months, so to most players there won't be a 2nd splash screen and the RESTRICTION ends later than expected. RESTRICTIONS USUALLY end during the reset of that week and not the day of. Sometimes you will be given a splash screen that looks like this http://imgur.com/gallery/GpYKBGG warning you of an issue so you can fix it before a restriction is placed. In-Game Gambit/Competitive Crucible SUSPENSIONS are only 30-60mins and placed AUTOMATICALLY if you leave too many games in a short time span for ANY reason. Whether it be a ddos, error code or power outage. The message usually says: "TIME OUT! You left a ______ match before it was complete…." If you have had 2 prior RESTRICTIONS a 3rd penalty can either be a much longer RESTRICTION or a lifetime RESTRICTION from crucible and Gambit or a full on lifetime BAN. They (usually: changed as of June 28) WILL NOT respond or message you. They WILL NOT tell why a punishment was issued. They don't have to. They don't care. Loyalty. Time played. Content purchased. Gear earned. When you started. Intent. Threats. It is all irrelevant. They make the rules. We have to follow them. Break them and they penalize you. There is no course of action to appeal any punishment issued. They WILL NOT lessen or remove any punishment issued for any reason. They've had this no tolerance policy since Day 1 of D1. It won't change anytime soon. The reasons most ppl have a punishment issued to them is: For some form of cheating (ddossing). Playing with cheaters (paying for a carry, sharing account info, or staying in a lobby with a cheater for too long and benefiting from their illegal actions). Or having consistently terrible internet connection that it affects OTHERS players and not just yourself. You may be playing fine. But to others you may appear as an unkillable red-bar. For most PC tagalongs: They are banned because SOMETHING installed on your PC was viewed as a POTENTIAL threat to D2 and those are PROMPTLY BANNED. The process for BANS and RESTRICTIONS involve reports coming in from players or their flag system towards an individual. The Bungie monkey at HQ reviews it. And they decide if it was warranted or not.

Also, I understand that Bungie has to keep their game(s) a great experience for those who enjoy the game, but with solstice of heroes coming next reset and the last iron banner of the season next month... It's honestly frustrating, because I actually can't control how good or bad my internet is. In other words, I feel like I'm being punished for something that isn't my fault. And now I have to suffer and won't be able to upgrade the solstice armor... I understand that on bungie's website, it says clearly that restrictions and bans cannot be disputed... But I figure that I should try.
