Nearly every game with an online component controlled by the developer/publisher has a similar clause. It's there for legal reasons, to prevent claims they owe a refund for denying players access to a game they paid for. The original terms of service for this very website contained similar statements. The short version was "Bungie owns everything. You have no rights. Play nice." That's the basic sentiment of the section you quoted. It gives Bungie the ability to suspend your ability to play the game for any reason (or no reason), and removes your ability to contest it. It in no way means that they will ban players who disconnect during the Crota fight to exploit a bug, just as it in no way means that they will ban players for quitting strikes. It's simply a statement that they [i]could[/i] ban players for those things if they were so inclined.

I get that. I brought it up because quite a few people were saying that Bungie couldn't ban you for the Crota trick because they didn't say it was against the rules. I only wanted to point out that they could in fact ban people for whatever they feel like. I don't know if people are being banned for this or not but they [b]could[/b] be even though no statement has been made by Bungie. As I said in a previous post, it would be nice to have some official word from Bungie on this particular piece of "cheese".

Yeah, I wasn't necessarily responding to you so much as anyone who may take your post as evidence of the implications in this thread being factual.

But did they ban anyone for atheon? Nope they've only banned for getting into dlc areas and crucible glitches

Nobody got banned for glitching into dlc areas, I glitched all of them, and grabbed all the ghosts and never had a problem, the one guy who did get banned for that sort of stuff was banned for hacking the game and giving himself the "intrusion" ghost she'll
