[Update at bottom] Recently, there have been several posts that have been removed that called out some top ranked players that had extremely suspicious match history in Trials of Osiris. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/229389860?page=0&sort=0&showBanned=0&path=0 https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/229650175?page=0&sort=0&showBanned=0&path=0 Several of those accounts and teammates were banned or stopped playing shortly after those threads were created. One of them that was very highly ranked is playing again on a new account, an account with a nearly identical name to his old one. On his new account, his ToO match history has many matches against teams that are listed as deserters, just like his previous account. In order to not violate the CoC, I can't say who it is, I just want it to be known just how ineffective account bans and console bans are. Bungie needs to come up with a solution for Destiny 2 that takes away the incentive to use a DOS attack. My idea would be to make any match that was won against a team with one or more "deserters" only count as 1/2 of a win and 1/3 of a loss. This would mean after winning two matches by dubious methods, they would have one recorded win, but after their next dubious win, they would gain a loss. What other things could Bungie do that they aren't already doing? Let's hear your ideas… Edit: There have been several good ideas posted. Let's keep it up, perhaps Bungie can "borrow" one of them. Edit: Several people have raised the point that some teams would leave a match to spite the victor. To discourage this, teams detected leaving multiple matches could receive a penalty, the loss of their card or right to enter trials for 24 hours. Bungie did something like this in the first few weeks of trials by issuing restrictions to players that backed out when facing superior opponents. This should be only in trials, and players should be able to freely leave regular crucible matches with no penalty. Final Edit: Some replies are getting a little sidetracked. This is not about calling people out in this thread, it's about what different things Bungie could do to prevent in D2 the frequency of DoS attacks that occurred in D1. Please share your ideas. My last contribution is that the account bans and console bans that were issued in Destiny need to carryover to Destiny 2. Bungie has yet to announce if bans will carryover. [Update] [b]Thank you to everyone that took the time to respond and offer your suggestions. I have compiled a list of suggestions that were offered:[/b] 1) Wins vs desserter count as 1/2 win, and 1/3 loss. After three such wins, the card would register 1 win and 1 loss. This would only take effect in a match with less than 15 total deaths on the losing team. Teams that intentionally leave (repeatedly) receive a timeout to discourage leaving to spite the victors. 2) Dedicated servers to prevent an attacker from easily determining your IP address. 3) Continue with console bans and account bans. Destiny bans should carryover to Destiny 2. Work with Sony and Microsoft partners towards a device ban from Sony/MS. 4) Bungie publicly shaming cheaters that were caught, "wall of shame", etc. 5) Improve the "Automatic cheat detection" analytical tools used by Bungie that detect cheating to react more quickly to suspicious matches. 6) Change how trials works so that it's total wins, losses don't count. 7) Limit fire-teams one trip to the lighthouse per week, and require all fire-team members have the same number of wins on the card so all go together, or no one does.
