We have been DoSed numerous times in the Crucible, I used to record and report every DoS but I have stopped doing that when I saw that no bans were ever issued even months after numerous reports with video proofs.
Same with rapid-fire glitch macros cheaters (like [redacted]), [redacted] was banned by hand after popular Destiny YouTuber released two videos about him. If [redacted] was banned then we know that what he was doing is considered bannable offense by Bungie.
But there is a cheater just like [redacted] in my connection who was doing it for over a year now without any ban. We match this cheater every day and we report him every day. That is why I can say with 100% certainty that in-game reports don't work, web form reports with video proofs and PGCR links don't work.
Some time ago I have created a thread here about cheater problem, in two days it had over 200 up votes, filled with joy that maybe now something will be done, I have tweeted it to every Bungie developer I knew, just shortly after I did that, my thread was deleted!
Here is the full story that wrote in response to that: https://telegra.ph/How-Bungies-forum-rules-have-led-to-game-breaking-exploit-being-in-two-games-for-3-years-and-counting-05-03
tl;dr: Bungie actively sweeps these issues under the rug for way, way too long. This is criminal. When I told about how Bungie handles cheaters to my ISP they were lost for words. I just don't how can Bungie be so incompetent at handling this issue, yet so good at hiding it.
I love my ISP: they provide cheap, fast, reliable Internet with IPv6 support, home router with open source firmware, open NAT without double NAT, they are simply the best. But now I have to be on their bad side because of Bungie unbelievable, inconceivable, incomprehensible incompetence.
My ISP told me that it was 12gb attack from a single IP address.
Here is PCGR of yestertday's DoS:
[links redacted]
Look at that, a 4-stack of recoveries. Just let that sink in, Bungie is so incompetent that people can reliably DoS their way to 5500 without any account ban. Let. That. Sink. In.
After DoS attack we logged back in and the game tried to reconnect us back, but as always it didn't work. It never worked even one time. Why was this feature added to the game if does not work at all?
Level of incompetence from Bungie's security team is simply astonishing. It is insane that they could sweep this under the rug for so long and ignore the issue. After 5 000+ hours of D1 and D2 I hold opinion that people play Destiny because of reward system and they are forced to endure horrible balance, horrible PvP and cheaters who don't get banned. I think that Destiny 2, with the way that Bungie threats it, can be classified as psychological violence. Because we really need mental help after this incredible injustice that have to witness on daily basis. I know that I could easily inflict real act of violence if a member of Bungie security team were standing in front of me. After everything that me and my team had to endure in this horrible, horrible game [spoiler]when you have an ult attack in-game that can be countered only by jumping off the map your game should be considered horrible[/spoiler] that we keep coming back to because of the rewards. I get that it's hard to detect and ban all kinds of private cheats on PC, but I'm talking about PS4 and Xbox One console versions of Destiny 2. Consoles are secure, closed down platforms, where only couple forms of cheating exist: connection manipulation, DoS attacks and macros. It is simply incomprehensible that game as a Service, game that can be considered platform all in itself, cannot deal with this. A good developer would have disabled any competitive playlist until these issues are resolved, but Bungie just rolls with it and sweeps everything under the rug.
I'm posting this again with Ninja edit, because previous post was silently REMOVED FROM INDEXATION so no one could find it or post there, but it would still accessible via direct link.
They still actively sweeping it under a rug, this is crazy!
Check it out yourself, here is the link to the old thread: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/249494026
Looks okay, right? But can you find it or post there?

I noticed I was getting DC'd this last couple of days. The fifth time it happened once again I was near people who seemed to be up to no good. You know, after thirty years of gaming online I have a pretty good sense for these things. Checked my logs and yeah wouldn't you know it I had a DOS attack! What game isn't hacked folks. They are ALL hacked. There is big money in it for both the game developer and the hack developer. All hacks have a trojan in them. Once the trojan is installed you have bots on your machine that mine bitcoin, host illegal files, hold company data ransom, attack our national security, and the list goes on. Those people installing hacks are doing much more damage to the world than anyone would ever believe. They are giving these hackers control of exactly what they want, the most powerful gaming systems with fast internet. Seems the NSA isn't doing squat because they are tracking in the same way. Microsoft and network hardware companies like Cisco are also at fault. We should be able to sue them all. I hope someday we will.

When Trials was taken down I thought to myself “Noooo all the cheaters had a place to be!”

Bump, need dedicated servers.

Bump Might be time to repost , let’s keep this going

Why even bother with competitive game mode rewards in pvp? Scum bags are going to try and earn it their way and everyone else gets hurt and we end up paying price. Seriously bungie this is your fault. Trials and comp should never have existed in destiny.
-
Im sure if someone found a way to get free silver bungie would ban the people who exploited it in a heart beat

Bump Hey Bungie how about pinning this thread instead of the one for community focus , The community is interested in this one , stop trying to hide it
-
Bump and upvote, sir
-
To the top. Cant hide the truth forever.

Upvoted! Btw, if they keep taking it down, you keep posting it right back up! Time for us to Force change! If we had dedicated servers just like in South Korea, that would quench a lot of the cheating! Oh, another thing, expect the cheaters to get on here saying git gud crap! Or my favorite, Bungie employees getting on here masquerading as Destiny players! If those two things haven't happened yet, they will, trust me on that!
