Has Anyone Been Banned For Hardware Usage?
It is obviously against TOS, and I am curious to know if Bungie has actually enforced their policy. No need to get into specifics - I just want confirmation that Bungie is doing something (they like their ban waves, but I was not sure if hardware users were included)

1 ReplyI play PvP daily. Multiple matches a day. Rarely do I encounter so called “cheaters” on console. Better than me? Yes. Cheating? No. The population is super small now. I play the same people daily. Late at night is the hardest . All the hardcore players are playing then. The good thing about this is it forces you to play faster, and more aggressively. You can’t bot walk into every engagement and team shot. I believe I have a 48% win/loss rate. I don’t quit matches. To obtain less then 20% one must quit a lot.

1 ReplyThey do not ban because they own a percentage of those sales as well as the coaching services 💰

Unfortunately these companies found other work around to trick the console again into thinking these devices are native controllers.

30 RepliesBungie has never really announced people been banned and for what reason. Only ban wave I remember Bungie saying anything about was desert perpetual raid.
