As most of us know, devs have been banning people from online games for a very long time and for good reasons.
People cheat, people abuse the game, it happens because people suck.
Now, in Destiny we started getting bans dished out from the ammo glitch* if I'm not mistaken.
How has it worked?
Not well if you ask me. We still run into cheaters and other issues as it seems bungie is too slow with the bans.
Moreover if one gets unfairly banned, tough luck, god have mercy on you.
The reason why banning isn't working in Destiny is simple. Bungie doesn't have a chanel for recourse. There is mo way for a player to get any information on how or why the ban happened, let alone challenge the decision. You have to drop your complaints on the forum and pray to god someone hears. (The wont).
If bungie added a proper communication chanel for these issues, not only could it afford to be more liberal with bams and suspensions (more bans faster) but it would go a long way for the players to have peace of mind knowing they could do something about possibly erroneous penalties. It would be a win win
*correction
PS: I have never been banned, just saying. I am more worried because I might be moving to somewhere with bad internet.

Well, it sucks that you are moving and may have a bad connection. Players with bad connection can affect the experience for people who do not. Bungie like many devs have to make a choice about that. Game devs have the right to ban anyone they want. Remember that any game that you play online will probably be a "we the developer own this, you are being allowed to use it" scenario. Best advice I have is to research how to maximize your connection with the equipment you have. DMZ, port forwarding, firewall settings, static IP and so on. Make what you have work better.

Huh? Call their 800 number. Email them. They have a twitter account, facebook. Their are thousands of ways to contact if you think you were banned falsly. Wait wtf you post all that shit and you aren't even banned? Good Lord kid stfu

Bans have been handed out ever since the heavy ammo hack on last-gen consoles. (People could use a system hack to get infinite heavy ammo). So no. Not since HoW.
