My friends account was restricted because he played with a DDoSer. And rightly so. It's a dumb thing to do. I played with my friend for 5 or so games, saw that the comp grind wasn't really going anywhere so I left - he stayed on, and woke up to the news that he was banned. Here's a link to the conversation we had: https://imgur.com/a/YnsQAjB (nsfw-swearing)
[b]I believe my account was restricted because I signed on to my friends account after he was banned, as I was curious as to what a "Not so fast!" screen actually looked like. After doing everything in Destiny 1 & 2, there's only a handful of things I hadn't seen - that was one of them.[/b]
I had my friends account on my Xbox for game sharing - a common thing as I'm sure all the Xbox crowd is aware of.
Was it dumb of me to take a look at the "Not so fast" screen, probably. But did I think I would be banned because of it? No. If I did, I wouldn't have done it. I didn't ruin anyone's gaming experience. I didn't negativity effect the game in any way. [b]I didn't cheat[/b]. I just wanted to see what It looked like.
If anything I just want clarity. I want to know why I got banned. If I'm right or wrong.
[i](Also I tried posting this when it happened, and was met with: "is your internet bad". My connection is fine, please don't make this about connection.)[/i]

10 Repliesthere are only 2 reasons one can be restricted from pvp activities, one is connection issues and the second is cheating/playing with a cheater. I am going to assume it is the former and post bungie's statement on connection restrictions along with their tips for improving the connection. Also, do not go by what your ISP tells you your speeds are, test them with a site like speedtest.net. [quote]Beginning soon, players with the most unreliable connections will receive an in-game warning. We know that connection quality is fluid, so don’t worry if you have occasional, temporary issues. If you receive one of these warnings, please visit the [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Support/Troubleshoot?oid=12915]Network Troubleshooting Guide[/url]. If your connection does not improve, there are additional guides available that can help you in [url=https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/7871]diagnosing advanced network issues[/url]. If all else fails, contact your ISP for assistance. If your connection does not improve after an in-game warning, and we continue detecting a negative impact on other Guardians, restrictions from PvP activities may be applied to your account. If a restriction is applied to your account, you will be unable to participate in PvP for two weeks. If you continue to play on an unreliable connection that harms the experience of other players, that restriction may be extended.[/quote] ([url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/47555]source[/url]) If for some reason you are not able to improve the stability of your connection, it is recommended to refrain from playing pvp activities as the negative side effects of your connection will lead to longer restrictions. Connection based restrictions: 1st is 2 weeks 2nd is 2 months 3rd is permanent [quote]Updated security policy and functionality so players who have been banned from competitive activities cannot access Gambit playlist[/quote] ([url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/47677]source[/url]) [i]*I am not a Bungie representative, just a player trying to give the answers that are available.[/i]

5 RepliesIf you played with the same DDOSer, that's why you got banned, even if you left before your friend. Also, 100 down/10 up is just your connection speed. It does not mean your connection is "great."

1 ReplyYou should find better friends who don't play with cheaters.
