In the MMO shooter Destiny , the developers have once again threatened cheaters: this time with multi-month bans.
It’s now a bit like Groundhog Day: it somehow keeps repeating. Hardly a new PvP event is announced, cheaters appear. In Destiny, these are mainly players who manipulate their own connection so that they “lag extremely.” Some take it so far that they become entirely invulnerable and just “sit out” the fights. Or, as is also rumored, one simply gets kicked out of a game – kicked by the opponents.
Bungie has announced multiple times in the past that they don’t take this lightly and want to put a stop to anyone who harms others. Even at the start of the Trials of Osiris, they threaten ominously: Be nice! Our security team is on the hunt and is issuing multi-month bans from the Trials of Osiris.
The Bungie Security Response Team is on the prowl, issuing multi-month Trials bans to cheaters in the Crucible. Play nice!

In the Trials of Osiris, defeats are particularly bitter; for the best rewards, you need to achieve 9 wins without a counted loss (one loss can be nullified).
Hopefully, this warning has an effect this time. Since Bungie still does not utilize dedicated servers for Destiny, the problem continues to arise. Like in this movie with Groundhog Day…
However, whether every “supposed cheater” truly harbors malicious intent or if chance plays a role is difficult to say.
Additionally, Bungie has apologized for the information that Brother Vance “directly” sells Trials of Osiris gear. The responsible designer who wrote a corresponding passage in the last weekly update takes the blame for that. Brother Vance does not sell the coveted equipment “directly”; instead, players can complete bounties with him that then lead to reward packages.
How you can succeed in the Trials of Osiris without cheats, with the right exotic weapon or the right armor, is discussed in this article:
