10 RepliesStraight answer from Bungie's official policy: https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049517431-Destiny-Account-Restrictions-and-Banning-Policies [quote] Code of Conduct or License Agreement Violation Bungie regards some behavior to be in breach of the Code of Conduct or the license agreement that governs Destiny, and therefore may be restricted or banned from some or all Destiny content or activities. This behavior includes, but is not limited to : ... Using an external program or device to automate gameplay or circumvent idle detection.[/quote]Please note that "idle detection" is "afk detection". So, if your means of 'afk farming' is to use a macro or automated software or hardware in order to do something when you're not there actually paying attention doing the something, it literally fits the description. In addition, it continues: [quote]Online behaviors disruptive to the experiences of others, such as: ... Habitual quitting or idle behavior in matchmade activities[/quote] So, if your means of 'afk farming' is to stand there doing nothing, ruining others' experience during the activity that matches other players into the same instance as yourself while occasionally hitting a button to make sure the game doesn't detect you as idle, that, too, is specifically mentioned. Bungie's policy is available at the above link if you'd like to read more of it. Bungie's policy is an official Bungie document available publicly, and, if I'm not mistaken, your specific question is covered by one of the two above parts of the policy. I cannot say that you will or will not get banned. I can only point out that the thing you specifically asked about seems to be specifically covered by the policy as it stands without any of the 'hidden up the sleeve' extra stuff that Bungie hasn't mentioned.

Just read the ban page...it states circumventing idle detection is a reason you can be banned. So if you feel that the juice is worth the squeeze, go for it, put your account at risk for a few levels on a battle pass

Someone please report back 🙂 if they did it and didn’t get banned please

This would be absurd if true, especially if it’s retroactive. They’d be banning 50% if not all their loyal players.

Much like ghost lobbies (which you obviously participate in) afk farming [i]can[/i] lead to a ban.

3 RepliesWouldn't it be wiser to assume that it's [b]not[/b] allowed? I doubt Bungie will take the argument "I asked but no one answered" seriously when reviewing your ban appeal (assuming that you're banned, of course).
