Okay, this is going to be a long one since this really pissed me off and destiny 2 was the only game I currently ever play. I got home after a long day of work, excited to hop on d2 to release the stress. Jumping into the crucible is literally my favorite way to clear my head and spend a good amount of my evenings, the feeling of going on a win streak and being on top of the leaderboard is something I strive for. But when I logged on, i got a notification letting me know I was banned from the crucible for two weeks because of “poor connection affecting other players’ experiences”. There are a number of reasons why I think this is absolutely ridiculous. First off, I’m what people refer to, a “blind fan”. I love the Destiny franchise and everything the universe has to offer, despite the harsh criticism it has encountered over the past year. I preordered the collectors edition of vanilla d2, preordered every dlc that has been released, and I purchase merch from the bungie store. I don’t care how much people try to tarnish the franchise, I’ve been loyal for a long time now. The destiny universe is one of the most well constructed fictional universes I have ever encountered. You people at bungie need to realize that some people who play your game fall under a very specific category. Some of us can’t afford the best internet out there, due to financial complications and the jobs we work don’t have the big financial output as some others. But still, I always manage to scrape what I can together so that I can enjoy the next dlc, or acquire the next rare emblem. And no, I don’t lag every single game in case you’re wondering. I actually haven’t lagged in quite some time now. Getting complaints about my connection are extremely rare now. I recently hard-wired so even though I don’t have the best mbps, I can maintain a stable connection every time I log on. But I still get banned. And for TWO WEEKS. Like I’m almost fabled in comp, and you guys are just making my goals of getting the mountaintop seem much farther, since I’m now going to lose points because of decay. Like I understand that you guys just want everyone have a smooth PvP experience, but really? TWO WEEKS? that’s a bit excessive don’t you think? And especially since I haven’t had connection issues for quite some time now. I think getting punished for not having the best internet is ridiculous. You guys think that just because you can afford it, then your whole player base can? Nah, it doesn’t work like that, but I guess I was just stupid for thinking that you guys actually understand. It sucks not being able to do the one thing that you enjoy so much, the thing that helps you escape the harsh realities of the world, for something you have no control over. Thanks bungie. I really started to think that you guys were starting to actually listen to the community. These two weeks are going to suck.
