Illegal ban? Bot? Refund? https://media.giphy.com/media/UzZnKDf6OABZC/giphy.gif

Typically, pc bans are due to software detected by Destiny 2 while running. These include but not limited to, trainers, aimbots, auto-fire, mods, graphics hacks, anything that injects code into games, debuggers for programing, even some viruses. any of these could cause a ban, [b]even if not destiny 2 specific[/b] [b]Restrictions are temporary, and will not be overturned or undone before they expire. Once an account is banned however, that ban is permanent. Account restrictions and bans are only done in extreme cases; if actions were taken against your account, then it was with reason. [/b] [b]There are NO options to dispute or overturn account restrictions or bans.[/b] Bans are lifetime for that account https://twitter.com/Bungie/status/1179836392953675776 <- Most recent info [url=http://www.bungie.net/bans]bans and restrictions policy page[/url] [i]*I am not a Bungie representative, just a player trying to give the answers that are available.[/i]

So when Bungie tells you you used an aiming tool, cheat tool, or something to read/write memory while Destiny 2 was running, what will you do? I'd say your ban is justified. You tried to cheat and got caught. Simple.

[quote]I want to know the reason for the ban, or refund for receiving an illegal ban from your bot, I will contact the Steam support to find out.[/quote] There are 3 types of punishments for Destiny/Bungie. Bans, Restrictions and Suspensions. LEARN THE DIFFERENCE. BANS are permanent and apply to the whole game (PvP,PvE,Gambit,etc.) The message usually says: "NOT SO FAST! This account has been banned." And looks like this http://imgur.com/gallery/Tw7g7Jg RESTRICTIONS are temporary. The message usually says: "RESTRICTED! This account is temporarily restricted from _______." And looks like this http://imgur.com/gallery/st40PuU 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. 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 from the entire game. 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. This screen WILL NOT be given prior to a BAN. 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…." And looks like this for Competitive and Gambit http://imgur.com/gallery/stqxYIj They WILL NOT respond or message you. They WILL NOT tell why a punishment was issued. EDIT: [Recently (as of June 28/2019) SOMETIMES BNGSecurity will give a general reason why the punishment was placed. They look like this http://imgur.com/a/mdFAQ1A] They don't have to. They don't care. Loyalty. Time played. Content purchased. Gear earned. When you started. Intent. Threats. Begging. 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, afk farming). (95% of the time will result in a Ban) 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). (Bans or Restrictions can be caused by this) 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. (This 95% of the time cause Restrictions) For most PC tagalongs: They are banned because SOMETHING installed on your PC (ACTIVE cheats for D2 or other games can trigger this) 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.

The software that I thought would get me banned but didn't: x360ce: Controller mapping software. After it was configured, it placed a .dll file in the game. I freaked out when I saw that despite the software not working the way I wanted. I since deleted that file from the game and uninstalled x360ce. DS4Windows: turns PS4 controller to Xbox controller. I can play Gears with PS4 controller LOL BetterJoyforCemu: same as DS4Windows but for Switch controllers. This is how I currently use Switch controllers with Destiny 2...[url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/254226360/0/0]for now[/url]. Despite running all 3 software, I am still unbanned till this day. So something in YOUR system was found that was more harmful than these. So Bungie did the right thing and banned you.

Doing something once / 1 time does not lead to a restriction or ban unless you are using code injecting software or are caught cheating. Connection based restrictions or bans you are given a warning about your connection first before any restriction or ban is places. [b]Bungie investigates accounts before they hand out any restrictions or bans. After investigating your account, they found a reason. They will not respond or remove this restriction/ban. On the very rare occasions they do respond, the answer will give a date and a very brief reason which will be one of the following below. [/b] 1. Cheating 2. Any software being detected by Destiny while it's running. These could include Trainers, Aimbots, Auto-fire, Mods, Graphics Hacks, anything that injects code into games. 3. An unstable connection is having an impact on other players.

What’s illegal about the ban, what law have they broken?
