I bet it's a trap (Destiny)

Instead of making it impossible for cheaters to cheat, they allow it and then bring out the ban hammer.

To be fair, it sounds like the route Bungie went makes for a better and more fair game if not one cheats. The alternative (used by esport games) is inherently less fair, but makes it harder to cheat.

I'm not sure I can blame Bungie for designing a system that is better if everyone is a good person. Perhaps they thought they could catch people faster/better than they currently do. Perhaps they are banning ten thousand people per day for cheating. Who knows...
