I was recently kicked AGAIN from a game after playing in the trials. Our team was down by 4 with 1 win. We came back to a 4-4 game and then right as we were about to take victory, the guy IP flooded me or IP kicked me and I obviously lost. My friend who was still online messaged the kid, and to our surprise, he sent a voice message actually bragging about how he IP kicked me out of the game, along with a lot of other trash talking, in which he went on to say how there's nothing we can do to him and he'd do it again (and will do it again). THESE BS TACTICS HAVE TO STOP ASAP BUNGIE!!! I am soooo tired of giving PvP tons of chances, only to be penalized for trying to play fair and enjoy a game. Not only do you lock away A NEW PLANET behind this wall of glory, but you've essentially forced these dumb kids to continue to do it because they know they'll get away with it.
If you say you're taking action, why is it still happening??? It happened to me on Friday, now it happens again on Sunday. I can't play beyond today due to a busy work schedule, and I'm penalized over and over for trying to enjoy something I've paid for, and it's also some place I can't ever hope to see unless I magically go up against legit players from this point on.
This is the 2nd weekend I'm hating this game mode, and this is now idk how many times I'm ready to smash my controller over dumb stuff like this. I should be able to enjoy this game, and be able to get the rewards in front of my face AND get to the 1st new planet since launch.... BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE YOU'VE SET THESE CHEATERS UP TO DO THIS.... and you still allow it!!! If you took the proper action, I wouldn't be making this post, but there's obviously a ton of kids still ip flooding everyone out there.
Bungie, I love destiny. This is my game. I play it every day for hours on end (when my job and time permits), and I overlook so many flaws because I love it so much. It seems like every time one good thing is created, 2 bad pop up to make it worse!! If you can't get on these people, you're going to see a huge drop off of people interested again. This DLC was supposed to be your saving grace, but the longer you allow people like me to suffer (and reward the cheaters and people who take advantage of your network and game in general) and the less you do to prevent these people from using these cheap tactics, will ultimately ruin the amount of good faith you won back recently. I thought the banner was bad, but smaller teams means easier to target IP addys, and in return, more cheaters. If you say you took action/will take action.... make it worth it. Also, make it worth it for people like me who lose out or lost out from this bs. You may think it's easy for everyone to get 3 ppl together, but they have to be a good team first off. Then if they can overcome the skill aspect of it and win, they have to worry about the cheaters lagging, IP kicking/flooding, or quitting out right before the match starts after seeing if someone is good based on their bungie.net profile. You expect the people to be happy, but how can most of us enjoy a PvP heavy game where the cheaters prosper and the honest people with average skills can't get over those hills?? You've again made this game unfair and unenjoyable, and I for one won't keep putting up with it. I defend destiny and bungie to the death, but 9 months in and it's getting old. I won't do it forever, and the majority of die hard fans won't stand for it much either if you don't start rewarding the honest and punishing the cheaters.
AND PUT SOME KIND OF CHECKPOINT SYSTEM IN PLACE FOR THE PRISON........ IF ALL 3 PEOPLE GET KICKED, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO REJOIN. If everyone quits, that's one thng.... but but do SOMETHING that allows the group the option to rejoin if all 3 are booted to orbit, or worse, are forced to join the better connection as host, which gets booted to orbit.
I will attach a permalink to the group who kicked me (who had the nerve to brag about it in a voice message), once the game data appears on my past games list. As for now, all I can say is that the game data is found on my titan, which played trials on may 31st at 1:15p eastern time, and the person who bragged in voice message about actually kicking me had the word "superman" in his gamertag.

Hi Neck, I can guarantee you that Bungie actively investigates network manipulation and other forms of cheating. We will continue to monitor game performance for people abusing the system and enforce our policies. As mentioned in this week's Weekly Update, we've already dealt with a number of players from the first week of Trials of Osiris. Rest assured that we will continue to do so.
