When the PC Beta launched, many twitch users and youtubers were uploading videos where they were BANNED from the Beta (most cases temporarily) for using certain applications within the game.
They were confused, as some of them did not know the apps were not supported by the game; or why they were getting BANNED for something Bungie said they wouldn't be banned for.
The general consensus was that Bungie "WASN'T" banning them for using the apps, but that the "Cheat Detector" (or whatever they are calling it) was tripping up on programs that tried to add/edit the code within the game client.
On either side of the argument, Bungie eventually stated that they "ARE NOT" banning people, however, there are THOUSANDS of videos on youtube, and HUNDREDS of videos on twitch of people getting BANNED from the D2 Beta, ranging from simply signing into the Client; to using some of the apps originally listed in this thread (in a way not designed.)
I realize that COZMO replied to this thread saying that the Bans/Removals were not true. Maybe he is paid to say this. Maybe Bungie is lying to us (like they have many times before) because they are in "Damage Control" mode with this disastrous PC Beta Release. I don't know.
What I do know, is that [u][b]PEOPLE ARE GETTING BANNED FROM THE PC BETA FOR USING INCOMPATIBLE (SAFE) PROGRAMS AND APPLICATIONS.[/b][/u]
This is fact. There is proof. The internet exists.
Is Bungie doing it on purpos? Cozmo says NO. But it is happening.
Since an employee has denounced my post, I have no reason to argue with him. However, he's wrong. Yes, that's right, I'm calling out a Bungie employee and I won't step back.
I didn't make this post to attack Bungie. I made this post to help people who couldn't find out why they were getting banned for no reason. The beta exists to correct these mistakes.
It's a shame Bungie is simply claiming they don't exist.

This is not true. You will not get banned for using any of the apps mentioned in this post, but they may be un-compatible with Destiny 2 when using certain or features. In short, the game might not run properly but you aren't getting banned just for running them.
