On Reddit, a player from Destiny 2 has spoken out. He is a family man and an avid gamer. However, his Destiny account has now been banned – which annoys him greatly. The community is seeking explanations for this.
What does the player say? In his post on Reddit, the user Drewwbacca1977 introduces himself as a “desperate Destiny dad.” He turns to the community with his problem and hopes to attract some attention.
His Destiny account has been locked by Bungie. The player doesn’t know why this happened. What he does know is that Destiny 2 is his great passion. He has spent over 5,000 hours in the game and has been a fan of the franchise for ten years, which recently received a major expansion with The Final Shape.
The father has spent many happy hours playing with his currently thirteen-year-old son. He is also an avid gamer who loves Minecraft and Fortnite. However, the shared Destiny sessions with his father would be a special highlight in both of their lives.
Accordingly, the player has a strong connection to Destiny 2 and his account. He shares that there are numerous good memories attached to it. He is annoyed that the account has suddenly been banned without any apparent reason. His son is even shocked about it. The community on Reddit has read the post and is now trying to help.
“I have never cheated in an online game”
What could be reasons for the ban? To quickly dismiss hasty assessments, the father clarifies: “I have never cheated in an online game. I am an average player.” Cheats would therefore not be the issue.
Furthermore, he has just updated his PC hardware to the latest standards. There are no network issues or anything like that. From time to time, he plays on the Xbox, especially when he travels to other cities.
Here, some users on Reddit already suspect a possible reason for the ban. “The system probably detected a new location and thought it was a recovery,” believes Last-Idea9985 on Reddit.
This means that players give their account to others, which in some cases can lead to a ban. User TY-KLR agrees with their predecessor on Reddit and shares: “I thought the same. I’m afraid to play on my Destiny account when visiting my cousin or family, given all the stories I’ve seen.”
According to user Solesaver on Reddit, another reason could be that the father purchased content for Destiny 2 from a key reseller, who obtained the key with a stolen credit card.
Overall, however, the father sees himself as innocent – there seems to be no obvious reason for the ban, as in the case of the German streamer Lachegga.
How can the issue be resolved? Some users suggest contacting a community manager and explaining the situation in detail. This could help determine whether it is a mistake. In the best-case scenario, the account will be unlocked again.
Specific names are even provided to the father that he can reach out to. His Reddit post has been actively upvoted by the community. It is hopeful that Bungie will take care of the issue and that the Destiny fan can go on more adventures with his son again. One of the best players in Destiny 2 was also banned – read on MeinMMO about what happened with that.
