So to start, I'm retired, so that's a vague clue to my age. A friend was visiting from Switzerland when covid hit, I'm in the UK, he was put in a hotel for around 15 days under lockdown rules, knew I played destiny a lot (he's not a gamer) so asked for pointers & bought an Xbox, all the dlcs etc, spent a small fortune, played pretty much nonstop for 2 weeks, only pve, just basic patrols, strikes etc no endgame.
Messaged the day later, he'd logged in to a ban message, no explanation, just perma banned. He messaged via the appeal thing, no reply. 2 weeks later messaged again, still no reply. Safe to say he was disgusted, & the world lost a gamer, sold the Xbox & never tried again. Guys in his 70s, on console, & wouldn't know how to cheat if his life depended on it.

It is kinda wild that you spend so much money, they ban you without a given reason, & dont respond at all. I think he gave the Xbox to a charity shop & has now taken up bowling. It was during the time they did that account recovery's are bannable twab, & we thought maybe it was because he signed in in the UK & then Switzerland a few days later but in a world of vpns it can't be that. Either way he's gone. I barely play anymore these days, & the recent accidental bans, along with those ones a while ago which where also reversed, is just another reason to have zero confidence in bungie. Just remembered wasnt there a thing a few years ago where they had to refund PSN players, I forget the details but there was something wrong with a dlc & plsyers went to Sony because they couldn't contact bumgie, Sony tried to chase it up with bungie & couldn't contact them lol. I think it was in Europe & Sony refunded everyone as it's the law here, you have to be able to contact a retailer to fix any issues.

People use Vpns every day, that doesn't make sense.

They are, a lot of streamers use them to avoid stream sniping i think. It's often said that vpns add lag to PvP but idk. I think it'd frowned upon in cod as people use it to farm warzone wins but still not bannable
