Today I logged on and received a notification saying that I was banned for two weeks for having a bad internet connection. I haven't been kicked from the game in months, and when I was it was a very rare occurrence, and very rarely receive contacting Destiny Servers. I have no idea where this temporary restriction came from. Can someone please explain why I got this ban ? I've been playing Destiny 1 since the Dark Below and have played all of Destiny 2 and never had such a ban, nor experienced any internet connectivity issues. I'm running on Ethernet and never experience any problems. I have never received a warning and am shocked that this came out of the blue.
I'm a big crucible player and this restriction ruins my experience, and doesn't send a great message to a veteran player.
there are only 2 reasons one can be restricted from pvp activities, one is connection issues and the second is cheating/playing with a cheater. I am going to assume it is the former and post bungie's statement on connection restrictions along with their tips for improving the connection.
[quote]Beginning soon, players with the most unreliable connections will receive an in-game warning. We know that connection quality is fluid, so don’t worry if you have occasional, temporary issues.
If you receive one of these warnings, please visit the [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Support/Troubleshoot?oid=12915]Network Troubleshooting Guide[/url]. If your connection does not improve, there are additional guides available that can help you in [url=https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/7871]diagnosing advanced network issues[/url]. If all else fails, contact your ISP for assistance.
If your connection does not improve after an in-game warning, and we continue detecting a negative impact on other Guardians, restrictions from PvP activities may be applied to your account.
If a restriction is applied to your account, you will be unable to participate in PvP for two weeks. If you continue to play on an unreliable connection that harms the experience of other players, that restriction may be extended.[/quote]

If for some reason you are not able to improve the stability of your connection, it is recommended to refrain from playing pvp activities as the negative side effects of your connection will lead to longer restrictions.
