Bungie wrongly bans the operator of an important page on Destiny 2 – he is pissed off, throws everything down
There was a wave of bans in Destiny 2: Apparently Bungie wanted to prevent cheating in the new, old raid “King’s Fall”. But some players appear to have been unfairly banned. One of them runs an important site with D2Gunsmith and is now throwing the chunks down.
What a spell that was?
- As Sportskeeda explained, Bungie wanted to take action against “Net-Limiting”: This cheating technique allows players to manipulate data and thus achieve abnormal firing rates for weapons.
- Using this will create slow internet and lag, and can take down even a powerful boss this way.
- To counteract this method, which caused unfair conditions in raids or dungeons, Bungie launched a large wave of bans. Apparently, they wanted to curb cheating in the raid “King’s Fall”.
Operator of the D2Gunsmith site is banned – immediately throw everything down
This player got it: One of the players who got banned goes by the name aundra_kerr on Twitter. He runs D2Gunsmith: a site where players can craft their dream guns.
Because Destiny 2 notoriously gives out so little information and makes everything as complicated as possible, such clear pages are popular with Destiny 2 fans: they can spend hours there imagining what their “dream weapon”, the God-Roll, will look like one day could.
The operator of the site saw himself unjustly banned and announced in a rage: That was it with Destiny 2 and its site. He was not guilty of anything, perhaps internet problems were his undoing. But now he doesn’t care at all.
He didn’t want to know anything about anything. Didn’t feel like filing a complaint against the ban either. He said the last time someone “was wrongly banned” and complained, they had to reach Nonstop Complaints for 8 months. He really has better things to do there.
In addition, this is now an ideal pretext for not having to look after the website any longer.
The operator of the site announced that he would withhold open transfers from people, but he did not want to release the source code for everyone. Otherwise, within 2 days, the site would be exactly the same as it is now on the web, but full of advertising.
Player is unbanned after a short time, but still doesn’t feel like it anymore
How did that go? In fact, the man didn’t have to wait 8 months, but was free again just one day later.
But he no longer wants to continue the page: it annoys him. Because if he wasn’t the guy he is, he thinks he only had a tiny chance of getting out.
On top of that, he enjoys his free time and the state of Destiny 2 no longer suits him anyway.
Destiny 2 players tell him they understand his frustration and thank him for all the work he put into his Destiny 2 page. But some are already crushed that such a valuable page will soon no longer be updated and will lose its usefulness. Especially the layout was appreciated.
Well, maybe he’ll have the courage to come back to Destiny 2 with a big expansion – as do some who leave disappointed.
That’s behind it: It’s something very human. When people volunteer that much time into something, they expect recognition and maybe privilege, even if they don’t say so openly. But in some way they want to feel like they have a special role to play in the larger community.
But if they then feel from the company that they are just a name in the system and will be treated just like everyone else, this can lead to a real kink in motivation. And apparently, after the decision to give up the website, the good man also felt a kind of release from the obligation.
It’s always hard for players to get banned. It’s even worse when you really haven’t done anything:
Player invested more than 16,000 euros and 400 hours in Lost Ark – now he has been banned
