My guess is that the scale of the modding problem is much worse than we would have guessed. Yeah, 10K accounts seems like a big number but it might just mean that cheating is even worse than the recent BGs season would make it seem.

One commonality to all the posts from banned bros — “I don’t use any third party stuff” but they never say a word about where they downloaded the game in the first place. And that’s the real issue that Kabam is chasing, right?

Well I am a UK player with many accounts 1 valiant the rest TB, one of my TB accounts is suspended for 7 days due to this error on kabams part. I can 100% confirm all my accounts were downloaded in the play store.

That's the thing that makes this look like it's bugged. Same account owner, same device, but some accounts get banned and others don't. You're not the only one who's said this

August mutant is propably forge to fit science technology theme with maker, high evolutionary and solvarch

It's possible, though not sure it really fits the eq title

EQ tittle most likely refers to Eidol. It literally means someone dangerous – "broken dreams"

I'm not entirely sure that broken dreams means someone dangerous, that's like 2 different concepts. Honestly I would argue that Mystique makes sense for the title given that her dream of getting destiny back being broken led to her causing the eventual downfall of krakoa and breaking xaviers dream.

Broken could very easily apply to the eidol given that his essence is called shattered essence, but the dreams specifically feels odd in that comparison unless they're going incredibly obvious and giving us a dream based mutant, but I highly doubt they're going to be adding wildside or cosmar anytime soon haha

My bad, I didn't express myself that way. I meant that it could be like Eidol brockens someone's dreams (maybe even a whole bunch of mutants). I mean, after Bastion's message, mutants are seen as a threat and they need to fix that. Maybe the new Eidol will cause some trouble in Krakoa, but I don't fully understand his purpose. Also, plot-wise, I think Maker will come from another reality in July (Ghost saved herself and the other Thunderbolts by sending the Nano-ISO-Charges to another reality, so it seems logical to me that someone would follow them and will end up in Battlerealm)
But perhaps the plot of August will follow on from where April ended, as the Summoner and other heroes need to decipher those ancient iso-slabs

Ah I see what your saying, yeah that could definitely be the case. I guess eidols are pretty flexible in terms of lore and abilities so it's hard to say for sure right now so you could be right.

I'm admittedly not super great at keeping up with in game eq lore hehe

Hi everyone. Obviously there is a lot of consternation and confusion right now over the recent bans. I just wanted to clarify a few things.

As the official post says, playing on a client distributed by anybody other than us or our official partners could get you flagged for a ban. Yes, this means if you sideloaded the game you were likely flagged. Our official partners are Apple, Google, Flexion and Steam. We distribute the game on PC through the downloader at https://playcontestofchampions.com/ Those are the only official channels to get the game, if you used any other means you were likely flagged.

We tested this algorithm against hundreds of known good accounts without any false positives. Having said that, in any action this big, there might be edge cases that couldn't be accounted for in advance. We are obviously taking these reports seriously and investigating these cases.

If you Read (insert horror movie jumpscare sound effect here), the announcement by the MCOC team. They said 10000 players were banned. Great, we love to see it.
Now let's go a little further in the message. I know it's scary because it's more words, but bear with me. They said, "Another couple thousand accounts have received warnings for potential infractions," which, as I'm sure the astute among you could surmise, is the 7-day bans we are seeing so many people complaining about.
Okay, so what does that mean? They identified something that was a potential infraction related to x person's account and issued a 7-day ban as the warning. Are they right? Are they wrong? Doesn't really matter as they straight up said in the announcement that these were for potential infractions and not anything fully concrete. I wouldn't expect any type of compensation or apology from them.

You don't ban for a week for potential wrongdoing. That's silly. They jumped the gun and penalized a huge number of their player base without adequate explanation and without potentially even an infraction against the TOS. They are obligated to uphold their end the same as we are ours.
