[quote]there was another player in the lobby who was confirmed to have cheated. we reached out to the other players in the lobby to confirm it. all 6 players in that lobby were banned. carte blanche.[/quote] You mentioned with randoms, was it random matchmade teammades or did they just LFG randoms? if they LFG'd randoms and formed a team with them, then bans can be extended to teammates regardless of their knowledge of the cheating. Bungie won't comment on the appeal, if they didn't get a response after 4-6 weeks they can safely assume the ban was denied, given its been 3 years now - that is more reinforced as a denial. [quote]the weird part, is after appealing it, he never did get told why or what caused the ban from bungie.[/quote] They're told they are not guaranteed a response on the form.
