Our Main Concern and Reason for This Post:
Initially, Bungie Support agents acknowledged the increase in "Tapir" reports and stated they were investigating. However, recently, the responses have become a standard copy-paste message: "Destiny services are not available where access is restricted by law.".
This response has left us confused and seeking clarification:
• Which specific law is being referred to? We are not aware of any laws in our respective countries that restrict access to Destiny 2. The fact that the connection works flawlessly once a VPN or DNS workaround is applied strongly suggests that the block is not originating from a legislative measure on our end.
• Why are multiple CIS countries affected? If this were a targeted restriction against one specific country, why are players from other, neutral CIS nations like Belarus and Kazakhstan experiencing the exact same problem?

If you're playing on Steam, submit a refund request for whichever Year of the Prophecy edition you bought, pick "multiplayer not working" and put "Cannot access the content I paid for and play the game anymore due to Bungie restricting access in my entire region and the resulting Tapir error codes". They issued a full refund for me in a matter of hours. If for some reason they deny your request, ask to escalate and keep trying. It's clear that asking questions and trying to do this the nice way is met with ignorance and automated non-answers. So start speaking the language they do understand - money. Vote with your wallets:) Plenty of other great games out there that don't treat you like your money is good enough but you aren't.
