Hi there,
My name is Ross, I’m 27 and from the UK. Last year I suffered a Stroke/Haemorrage/Brain Bleed and I now have limited use of my right arm and am now unable to use a standard console controller.
I now use a one handed mouse/keyboard hybrid for my left hand on my Xbox for games that support M&K but I completely understand using any form of third party device is a bannable offence on Destiny.
I have been playing Destiny since the Beta in 2013 and it’s been a big part of my life ever since.
I’m not expecting a sudden resolution but I’d like nothing more than being able to play my favourite game again and wanted to see if I could reach out to anyone.
Hope everyone is well.
Ross

[quote]Abusing external accessibility tools or aids [b]specifically to gain an advantage over other players will result in escalating actions, including bans.[/b] [b][u]This does not include using accessibility aids that enable an experience the game designers intended.[/u][/b] [b]“External accessibility aides”[/b] are any device or input that augment the player’s ability to control the game beyond what it normally provides. [b]This includes[/b], but is not limited to, programmable controllers, [b]keyboard/mouse adapters[/b], advanced macros, or automation via artificial intelligence. This does not include features that Bungie provides. For more information on how Bungie supports accessibility, check out our goals outlined by Accessibility at Bungie right here. “Experience the game designers intended” means that content meant to be difficult, or prestige, is designed like that for a reason. We do not intend for difficulty to be automated away via software or hardware. [b]Therefore, simply using an accessibility aide to play Destiny 2, where a player could not play otherwise, would not be a violation of this policy. Using these tools to mitigate challenges all players face, such as reduce recoil or increase aim assist, would be a violation.[/b] “Gain an advantage” means used for the purpose, directly or indirectly, of achieving victory. For example, [b]we have observed some players that abuse these tools rise in the PvP leaderboards at a rate far beyond what is typical for a player improving through normal play[/b]. Because benefits of cheating in PvE can spill over into PvP, we will be evaluating all gameplay for violations. Additionally, players detected using automation to circumvent idle detection or perform automated activities to earn loot may be restricted or banned. Loot includes, but is not limited to, XP, materials, or drops (e.g. Exotic class items)[/quote]
