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

Others: Just IP Ban them 3head Intellectuals: This video has been sponsored by NordVPN [spoiler]Jokes aside, IP bans wont do much when people just can run VPNs to evade that[/spoiler]

Im here to tell you about nordvpn

Ah... Another guy who doesn’t know how IP works...
-
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.

Edited by DownyKitten: 4/3/2020 8:16:44 AMHardware 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 :>
-
Why end their game experience when you can end them.
-
GUID banning is the way to go.
-
VPN tip toes around this ban quite easily.
-
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.

Edited by an Ape with a d2 addiction: 4/2/2020 10:37:24 AMNot 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.

Hardware ban would be better.
-
They literally don't know what that means or how to issue one. In 2020.
-
I'd rather see that sweet Titanfall solution where you can only play with other cheaters
-
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
-
-
IP ban? wrong millennium
-
They knew this would happen. They pushed Trials again for the all mighty $dollar$. Knew it would be a selling point for this season.

Edited by Gilgamesh: 4/2/2020 5:35:53 AMIll do you one better, copy apex and do HARDWARE bans. There are easy to access tutorials that show how to dodge a IP ban
-
Wouldn’t change anything. Cheaters have ways around basically all forms of bans.
-
You know that there is cheat atm with more then 300k downloads in the last 4 days for destiny 2?have fun in pvp.
-
Wouldn't work. VPNs would get around that system easily
-
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.

Edited by StoicBehavioR: 4/2/2020 2:31:02 AMYou 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.
