Re: Is Kabam ignoring f2p players completely?
If they have optional ads they can't advertise their app in playstore and appstore so it affects their new downloads.They could make you watch a 30 second ad every 6 fights if you want to contribute.I really think they should have the option to watch an ad for like 1 unit or xxxx gold or some tiny selector, with a cap of like 10 a day or whatever they decide. It's just free money for them at that point.
For example look at candy crush and look at mcoc, mcoc don't have that tag "contains ads" it. Really affects the number of new downloads a lot.
Re: Ernest question for anyone at Kabam
Kabam always reviews comments on content when it is released, but they rarely if ever change content immediately upon release unless it is bugged. The problem is historically speaking people complain about how difficult content is on day one, and by day seven people are ice skating through it blindfolded.
The catch-22 is the longer you take to retune difficulty, the more unfair you are to the people who do it early and the more people you will disadvantage if you change it. But the earlier to try to do that, the more likely it is that all the feedback is completely skewed and your tuning in response will be completely wrong.
I personally am not expecting any tuning on Wheel, because the complaints I've read seem to fall into the category of working as intended. Yes it is difficult. Yes it takes a long time. Yes it puts extreme stress on players' rosters. All those things seem to be intentional. And yes, some players will refuse to do it because that's not the kind of content they like. This is also 100% expected. I never did Labyrinth when it first came out, it was not my cup of tea. Kabam expected there to be players like me: that was not a failure of Labyrinth. I did do Necro when it first launched but it took me four days and a ton of revives. That was also not a failure of Necro, that was just me deciding to do content I'm normally not suited for. Kabam knows some people are not going to like Wheel. They know there will be players who say everything about it is wrong because no game should do what Wheel is doing. They already knew this before they launched it. Absent some very specific objective problem with it, I don't expect Kabam to change anything. I expect them to watch and see how many people actually tackle it and succeed. And I expect they think that number is going to be smaller than many of the players think it ought to be.

Re: My account was suspended for 7 days for no apparent reason!!!
The suspensions are related to game installs from 3rd party. Where did you install from?3rd party means? APK installer? Some of my mates downloaded apps and still playing this game 😂🤣. I checked it 5 min ago. His account still accessable 🤣 and kabam ban ppl for using 3rd party software. Lol.....
And yes I have a proof. Visual proof. But I don't wanna rush him and his account also.
He is using IQOO series phone. No pre installed Google services.
Re: Some clarification on the recent ban wave
This is what I wrote to Today's Reply by Kabam, following my Reinstatement (along with 3 of my Teammates:
It's Long, but, I think... Worth It!
Lemme know what You think.
First... Kabam's response:
On June 6, 2025, as documented in the forum post Anti-cheating update for June 2025, our game team deployed new technology that allows us to identify players using a client that was not distributed by one of our legitimate partners or by Kabam. In doing so, we found and banned over 10,000 accounts that have been using modified or otherwise illegitimate versions of our client to play the game. Another couple of thousand accounts have received warnings for potential infractions.
We received a great deal of feedback from players who feel they were unjustly suspended by these actions. As documented in the forum post RECENT BANWAVE UPDATE, the team has been reevaluating the suspended accounts and has decided to reverse some of the suspensions. It is quite likely that some of the accounts that we have removed the suspension from were violating the Terms of Service, but we would rather make sure that those who are not do not get punished. While I do not have the specifics available at this time, we can confirm that players whose suspensions have been overturned will receive a compensation package at some point in the next week that is intended to cover any missed rewards in-game as well as additional rewards for the inconvenience.
The investigation into the accounts that were possibly not violating our Terms of Service is still ongoing and may take some time to complete. It is possible that more accounts may end up having the suspensions revoked in the future, though at this time we cannot determine that conclusively. Kabam Support will not be making those determinations on an individual account level via support ticket; they will be made by the Game Team and will be considered final.
At this time, there is no further information that Kabam Support can provide regarding your specific account’s suspension status. If there was another issue reported in your ticket that is not addressed by the details above, please create a new support ticket referencing that issue only, so it can be appropriately addressed by the correct team.

Chris

Second: COMMUNICATE CLEARLY DAMMIT!! Saying "3rd Party Providers" is meaningless if YOU Don't Explain the Different Levels of what a 3rd Party includes (like Google Play as structured in so many Country's not named "Canada") and THEN: GIVE EXAMPLES of Past "Violators" and WHY they deserved a Metaphorical 'GITMO'!!!
Third: Don't pull the 'Trigger' on Operations like this during War Season
Furthermore regarding Communication... If You Can "Identify and Target" 10,000 Potentially likely TOS Violators", THEN YOU CAN SEND THEM WRITTEN WARNINGS, detailed with Curative solutions and Punitive Actions for Failure to comply!
The M.O. is supposed to be "Ready, Aim, Fire!" And NOT the Fuster-Cluck that just Happened thus Past Weekend!
Smarten the Hell UP! YOU'RE ALL CANADIAN! Act like it!
Hmmm... that's alot!
Necessary and Overdue.

To tell I'm a leaderboard player maybe you guys misunderstood.that how can someone do content that fast .
I'm a legit player and i want kabam unban my account.
Because everyone got suspension why there,s only me who got banned.

I've never seen such a ridiculous game, where the cheaters are lifted and the non-cheaters are still waiting for the countdown.In one chat, a guy who plays with mods wrote that he was not banned and he continues to play.

Re: Is Kabam ignoring f2p players completely?
Is it though? Most of the whales are probably comparing themselves to their surrounding whales, not F2P players.True, but a never-ending supply of high progression F2Ps is necessary to keep the whales happy and engaged and spending.No, but spenders keep the lights on. Without them there is no game. This is something that I think some ftp players fail to grasp. They think they are the pure players because they play the game the 'right way' and the spenders are cheaters essentially. The reality is it's the spenders that allow you to play the game for free at all, and this game in all honesty is one of the most ftp plays out there in what it offers that part of the community.Its like those family gatherings, you always have someone who didn't even bring a drink complaining about the food.Why is it that F2P players always shield themselves with "the community". I mean its nice to have a community and all; but "community" doesn't pay the bills, doesn't make the game better, doesn't allow to increase budget to make it better. I mean you could not go out to eat, cook at home and spend whatever you were going to spend out in the game for "the community" right?All for community as long as it’s free 😉What is this logic? So only spenders are allowed to play the game? That's what you're saying right now.Its like those family gatherings, you always have someone who didn't even bring a drink complaining about the food.Why is it that F2P players always shield themselves with "the community".

F2Ps are the cannon fodder that whales pay to dominate, the bodies that fill the matchups, and the audience that makes their flex worth anything.
The whole point of a massively multiplayer game is in fact we're all playing the same game. Comparisons are inevitable, and actually encouraged. A little envy is a good thing when it comes to such things. But the mega whales aren't comparing themselves to the free to play players, that's completely worthless. I doubt most give it a second thought, because that would be like Valiant players comparing their rosters to Proven players. That's interesting for all of two seconds. Valiants compare themselves to other Valiants, or sometimes to Paragons.
It is important to remember we do not need to guess. We know what a game comprised of nothing but spenders looks like. It looks like every MMO before about 2010. And games where everyone spent and spent a significant amount did perfectly fine. Spenders can support a game with zero free to play players. But free to play players cannot support a game all by themselves.
There is a virtuous reinforcement between the free to play players and the spenders in an F2P monetized game: it is better for both sides when the game reasonably balances the two. But make no mistake: a game with all the free players gone is smaller, a game with all the spenders gone is dead.
