Don't worry, I got banned for a week for simply enquiring what they were!

Lmao months ago I got restricted for naming certain names cheats from the forums. Meanwhile, go to a PC and they’re running around like it’s a weekend at the swimming pool with 0 repercussions 😭

You know that Bungie banning you for posting about this is actually saying you’re right on but you need to stfu, because they’re failing as a developer… Take grace in that because if it’s not a thing they wouldn’t silence you…

So you are basically saying that we need Dedicated Servers?

[quote]So I got a month's ban on the forums for even mentioning the maker of a "high-performance console gaming adapter and controller emulator" so I won't do that again. But then again has anyone ever been banned for using one? I've reported some people that are obviously using one. They shoot through flinch and have 100% accuracy. I just want to know if anyone has actually been banned for using one, or am I just wasting time. Frankly I'm surprised Bungie and Sony haven't sued the maker of it yet.[/quote] Unfortunately you have to get undeniable proof which is incredibly hard now, especially now because they don't have anyone caring enough to actually look through it. The few times I've gotten people banned I had to post videos,their profile that shows a discrepancy with stats ( headshot percentage, abysmal kd to an absolute jump to a godly one...etc). It's definitely a problem but it's hard to absolutely know for sure, far too many people blame cheating on getting out played or connection issues/ lag. Unfortunately you'll never know for sure who is using devices, and the reality of it is people just saying " I know for a fact because they hit 100 headshots and have zero flinch isn't undeniable proof. If you have a profile that you think is a cheater, feel free to dm me their name and I'll give you my honest opinion.

Just Sony? Pffft......wait till you play xbox.

I love how when I called out a player yesterday, their response was "im on controller, I cant cheat!" As if one cannot have assisted play while using a controller... I think more players are using it than many assume are. I also dont think anything will be done about it, if it were, it would have been done 2-3 years ago. I think the combination of the connection issues with this games netcode/latency, combined with suspicion of all "good" players in PvP kind of hurts the game in general. Im at a point where I feel that my skill does not necessarily reflect my performance in game. Between connection, and facing extremely suspicious enemy player actions, I feel that my ability comes after. Which for me as a player whose main reason to play the PvE part of the game, is to get the tools that I want to use in the PvP part, has been making me really consider just putting down my controller and finding a different hobby.

I got banned for replying to a disabled guy who wanted mnk support on console boz his arthritis was getting worse, I said hey there's this device that's literally built to let you use mnk & then I put the name in a spoiler for him - week ban for disruption & evasion
