Today I got kicked from my clan because I wear the pro-Ukraine emblem and refused to take that off when the clan leader asked me to. He threatened to kick me and to group report me but I never thought this could actually happen. But apparently, it happened. Without a clan, I decided to do trials solo. Somehow the system matched me to the same god-like team several games in a row, they crushed me like a ripen-in-box raspberry. Well, I will play a couple of 6v6 then. This time, no god-like teams but only a lot of players from China (I guessed from their names and the lagging feeling), it's so laggy, I thought, ok, I will go back to trials then, losing is better than having bad experiences lagging. Funny things happened, I started to match with lagging players in trials now. I decide to leave it there with a 2w-15L record and took my dog to the vet for something not covered by her insurance. I logged in the first thing when I get back home because it's IB week. Suddenly a window popped up, I got restricted from any PVP for two weeks because of poor internet connectivity! There goes my IB and Trials. I felt confused because I never thought my internet could be an issue. I am using BT's fastest plan available in my area, I only connect my gaming pc to it (my phone is on 5G) and I use a LAN, yes, in 2022. It's not fiber-fast, but stable enough, with 70Mbps+ download and 18Mbps+ upload speed (as tested just now), and my pc is a new model released last year. I played D2 before this witch queen very smoothly and happily, never had any issue apart from the only time I got disconnected from 3v3 is because of a power outage. I highly suspect that the reason why I am lagging is that I was matched with players too far away physically (like China or Japan for example). But I didn't ask for that, I didn't enjoy playing with lagging either, and I didn't win those games. I must be the world's stupidest player who manipulates the internet connections because I lose those games I was lagging. Submitted a ticket, I noticed a lot of posts complaining about a similar situation to mine, there is a number of players who got banned from PVP because of connectivity issues and they felt wrongfully blamed. I really think, today, broadbands are stable and fast and not expensive at all, even mobile phones are now at 5G speed, blaming the lagging problem to player's local connectivity is not likely to be fair. The real reason has to be hidden somewhere else, maybe it's cross-save, maybe it's simply the matching with people really far away, or some new bug/unstableness with the game itself. Sadly, the game company took the most ineffective and rackless method to ban players who got reported multiple times - it may simply be, that those players got matched constantly with players 5000miles away, maybe the matchmaking is the problem? or maybe a lot of people are having lagging issues but only a few played anyway got more records? I felt really sad at such a time when dictators can beat their own citizens and tear up treaties with no responsibilities, or hold the world hostage; when a clan leader in a game thought he can suppress the clan member's political opinions and retaliate against dissidents; when a game company can punish its paying players because of lagging issues caused most likely by bad matching, and give no explanation, no chance to argue one's case, no disclosure of evidence, no fair procedures at all. What can I hope for, besides the restoration of the democratic trajectory of my hometown city? And before that, maybe more UK players playing Destiny 2 before lunchtime so I don't get paired with players on the other side of the world's biggest continent and I don't get punished again for not connecting properly with Chinese players 5000 miles away? To make my day, or technically it's no longer today but tomorrow, I just clicked "Create Topic" after I type the original post which was 2 times longer than this one and much better. I have to re-type everything but I don't remember that much. so that's the lucky part of my story of today in destiny 2, of course, for tomorrow will be lucky because anyway, tomorrow is another day? oh, no not IN destiny2, I am still restricted.
