Stop Calling It “Soft Cheating” – Cheating Is Cheating

The rise of input manipulation devices (IMDs) in Destiny’s PvP community is an issue we can no longer ignore. These tools exploit aim assist and input behaviors, providing users with unfair advantages, yet some people casually dismiss them as “soft cheats.” This term minimizes the harm caused and creates a dangerous precedent by normalizing cheating in a game that thrives on competitive integrity. Let’s be clear: cheating is cheating, regardless of whether it’s a wallhack, an aimbot, or an input manipulation device. Anything that enhances gameplay beyond a player’s natural skill level is a violation of fair play. The more we label these devices as “less bad,” the more we encourage players to adopt them, eroding trust and sportsmanship in Destiny’s PvP. Bungie needs to act decisively, banning IMDs outright. Other games have implemented strict measures against these devices, and Destiny must follow suit to protect the community. It’s also on streamers and community leaders to stop calling IMDs “soft cheats,” as this language downplays the seriousness of their impact and sends the wrong message to their audiences. The community must take a stand. Report cheating, avoid downplaying the issue, and demand stronger anti-cheat measures. There’s no gray area—cheating in any form undermines the game we all love. Let’s ensure Destiny’s PvP remains a true test of skill, not manipulation. EDIT: If you mention the names of the cheats or how they work, you get instantly banned from the forum. EDIT: To ban these players, you literally just need to go to youtube and watch their demo videos. The names and contacts are there in front of you!

    Strict sbmm in all aspects of pvp would fix this ,that way adapter users are put in lobbies against each other most of the time ,whilst the major majority of legit players will be put in lobbies against other legit players . Bungie has always had there own janky versions of mm that never work because they are too busy listening to the top% whine about having to try hard in pvp which generally speaking you should have to if you earn the spot to be in the top% also bungie let them chat rubbish about having to wait an extra min for mm to find a game was bad lol. It's about time bungie got rid of the stone age mm and did the same as more up to date games have done and that's sbmm I only say this because I know full well bungie will never ban adapter users since alot of the top% of pvp mains use them
