Woah someone got straight up banned for AFKing?! LMAO

Could be that AFK gambit prime session you did

[quote]I was doing comp last night and a little bit of Gambit this morning. I get back from the gym and it says that my account is banned? This is pretty cool all things considered. After the hundreds of dollars I've spent on this game between d1 & d2 on xb1 and D2 on pc, Bungie doesn't even have the courtesy to have a contact form. I don't need any comments on the lines of "Bungie makes the rules, you follow them". That's B.S and we all know it. They make games and we purchase them. Without us Bungie, you are making games for zero profit. The solution here isn't for me to A.) Walk away from the game or B.) Buy a new account. I'm sure that is what Bungie hopes for but, a good company should at least have the decency to explain the reasons for the banning. Bungie, I would greatly appreciate someone to reach out and contact me. If not, you have lost a dedicated fan since the first Halo game.[/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.

Bans are manually placed on accounts following account investigation that turns up behaviour that justifies the action being taken. These investigations can be started by multiple reports of cheating or otherwise disallowed behaviour over a long time period. Alternatively, bans may be placed after the Destiny 2 app on PC detects potential cheat software and flags it, sending data to Bungie - again requiring manual confirmation for a ban to be placed. The only other way to obtain a ban is to continue to play match made PVP and gambit, following both a 2 week and 2 month restriction from those activities. In all seriousness, and with respect, Bungie has found reasonable evidence that you have broken the Destiny code of conduct in some way and been appropriately punished for it. There is no way to appeal a ban or have it overturned. Bungie does not discuss or revoke restrictions or bans. No, this is not an act of dictatorship on Bungie’s part. You agreed to have this be the situation, by selecting ‘I accept’ on the EULA before playing. On EVERY ONE of your devices that has destiny on it.
