Can we inflict IP bans to anyone caught cheating in Destiny?

I'm sure that would be a suitable punishment!

  • People can get new IP's what would really solve the issue is if Bungie implemented hardware bans.

    • Wouldn't work because we can't openly identify hackers or cheaters. BUNGiE's more concerned about keeping players numbers up than they are about the state of the game. This has been true ever since the enstatement of Name and Shame rules, lmao

      • Only way to fix is to have trials locked behind season pass pay wall, ip and account ban isn't working because they come back the same day as lvl 960 being that it'sa free game, glad I'm not on pc or play trials. Even without the cheaters there is to many try hard teams accepting donations on twitch to carry bidder's day and night, how that doesn't violate terms of service idk.

          Hardware and IP bans are meaningless and serve to punish whoever gets the IP next or actually has the spoofed hardware address. Permanent account bans and a paywall are the answer - it's the only thing Bungie can use to mitigate hacking. And maybe after hackers have all payed 30 bucks 20 times to buy the game again, we'll see some whisper of the worm-esque secret mission pop up from all the extra funding. EVENTUALLY hackers will go where they are penalized less for cheating and right now D2 doesnt penalize any of their dozen free to play accounts for more than a day to a week.

          • Most people today have a dynamic IP not a static like it was back in the day so the banned IP adress is only theirs for a day or so before someone else with the same ISP can't play destiny cause their IP adress is banned :>

          • An IP ban would work for a few, but not all. I'm sure each copy of Destiny 2 comes with a hidden key and Bungie can ban off of it.

            Not quite that straightforward solution. A VPN can circumvent the ban completely since it changes your public IP on-demand. Pretty sure 1 ISP's 4g cellular data connection I had a while back did the same thing every time I rebooted the router that had the connection's SIM card. Also would be a problem in countries where net cafe culture's more prominant compared to personal gaming platforms. 1 guy gets the cafe banned and it's that for all users. Overall cheating's a pervasive issue that doesn't possibly have 1 clear solution, but just needs multiple of them layered together to make the cheating hard + costly enough that folks can't be bothered doing it more than once. Report based ban system, active anti-cheat, account bans, IP bans, hardware bans, limit free to play account access to pvp [i]in some capacity[/i] [u]so the bans actually mean something[/u]. With proper consideration. These tools are not mutually exclusive and all could be required to tone the cheating down to bearable levels, since D2 right now is at the core a F2P game with unlimited access to burner accounts which makes cheating very accessible and no-risk.

                • Bungle doesn't care about cheaters, they see them as Dailey log ins,. That is why they don't do anything to people when you report them in game and ban you here if you name them

                  • Wouldn’t change anything. Cheaters have ways around basically all forms of bans.

                      • account bans, ip bans, hardware bans, all have ways around them as many have pointed out but, not having them is inexcusable. The few who will circumvent the ban will not outweigh its benefit on the experience of every player and will clean up some of the problem.

                        You know people can force a new IP address on their internet. Lots of Internet Service Providers lease IPs to you. So you're better off MAC address banning them so they have to buy a new computer to even play.
