Here from the #Paywall thread: Why are ninjas locking and banning so much more recently. Every 10-20 posts I see there’s a locked one, sometimes 2 next to each other. IMO I think the fact that the ninjas are locking so much reflects the state of the game Edit: all of the #Paywall threads are being locked under the terms of “intended disruption”, whatever that’s supposed to mean

  • They are getting locked because there doesn't need to be 50+ posts saying the same thing due to people wanting to jump onto the bandwagon.

  • They are very inconsistent as well. A lot of players complain about the meta (Hardlight), making multiple threads repeating the same grievances, but you don't see them locking those threads and telling everyone to post in one thread instead. But the moment there's a hashtag, just like with #RemoveEververse, they go full CCP on the forums and start locking and hiding away threads to prevent the concern/idea from reaching more to the rest of the player base. Instead of allowing for a dialogue to happen, or an idea to take flight for the betterment of the game, they stomp on it and smother it. What's even more depressing is that some if not most of these Ninjas seemingly don't even play this game. And because of this, I'm reporting them for the same reason they are locking those threads. They really shouldn't have a say at all if they aren't dedicated players themselves, it's asinine.

  • Because paywall offers little to nothing to the conversation. The people who make the cheats sell them. Those who buy the cheats offer paid carries for a price. So how does pay walling going to stop it?

  • When the game was on Blizzard Launcher/Activision, and the game wasn't Free to Play, the cheating and hacking wasn't as rampant as it currently is, because it had a cost to play and also the game would immediately ban your account if it detected anything hooking/injecting into the games code, making it risky for people to try and cheat/hack for fear of losing $60+. But now that the game costs $0 to play, cheaters and hackers are able to brute force the game by trying every method they know of to be able to cheat/hack in the game. If the game banned them the first time? Meh, who cares, they got a second account ready to try again. And again. And again. Until they get it. Currently there are no consequences to being banned. An entry fee is the best deterrent against cheaters and hackers. Once there's a price they aren't willing to pay for, and once Bungie gets off their arse to fix their security issues, the amount of cheaters/hackers will become significantly less severe than it currently is. You have to remember that the cheating and hacking only became a problem the moment the game went Free to Play. The paywall worked before. No reason why it wouldn't work again.

  • Because they're in damage control. Everyone's finally seeing the true bungie without activision. You are all finally waking up and its -blam!-ing glorious.
