Re: Suspension for no reason!
Commenting on this thread to confirm that OP's ban was lifted today after Kabam's acknowledgment of an error.
Despite how fun it is to watch cheaters get called out in the forums, I think it's good to get the occasional reminder to be civil and not blindly assume every one of these posts is a liar.
Seeing stuff like this happen really does make me question how much to spend on the game. I'd be pretty upset to have an erroneous ban, a generically unhelpful support ticket response, and the online community antagonizing me while I was trying to get it resolved or at least some commiseration. Sure I don't cheat so it shouldn't happen, but we've literally all witnessed it happen first hand this weekend.

Re: How many of you got your ban removed?
Guys do I need to submit ticket to get ban removed?If you done nothing wrong, you should send a ticket to customer service to get them to investigate your case urgently
I didn't submit ticket cause they were replying same to everyone
My friend got unbanned, what is the next, what about impacted alliances
I'm really happy for him, he took too much for the last a few days because not everyone trusted him as I did. For those people mocked me, mocked other players got banned on the forum, shame on you.
I think the lesson you guys should learn is, Kabam make mistakes, it is totally OK because everyone makes mistakes,
but Kabam indeed did a couple of things wrong: the first is they shouldn't have put this online on Friday, releasing new thing on Friday is always a horrible idea, this is the fact for any product; the second thing is like always, this system should have been tested better.
You know what is the consequence of this? My alliance's plan was trying to push for master this season and we got 3 wins in the first week. Even we don't like the new AW format, we still prepared. Now everything is going up in flames, we already gave up.
We are a top20 AQ/AR alliance too, now we will lose that for a few weeks too, even more, one of my alliance member is too frustrated about the mess, he decided to leave the game even he is not banned.
Btw, I also have my own MCOC social media and have roughly about 10K subscribers, I just published a post and suggest those Android players to not pay for the next few months, I don't know if I can impact anyone but it's what I would do myself if I use Android, because I don't know if this big-beautiful system can be fixed or not.
Again, any successful game has cheaters and they will be there all the time no matter what you do, you can do you best to catch those cheaters , but the baseline is not hurting innocent people.

Re: Some clarification on the recent ban wave
Good to hear that some people are starting to get back in. I submitted a support ticket 10 hours ago but have not yet gotten a response (not even the standard form response others have been getting) and am still unable to log into the game. Hopefully they're going through the list and will have all the false bans reversed soon enough...Where did you hear that?
Re: Some clarification on the recent ban wave
At least some of us, stick by our members
kudos to those who kick players out of alliance when they were wrongly banned for 7 days
(edit : sarcasm, in case you missed it)

Re: Some clarification on the recent ban wave
If I am able to login now, does this mean I was incorrectly banned?

Re: Ok, what am I doing wrong with Purgatory…
Thank me later. There are some videos already on how strong DOT boost is.Will have to try that next time. For now, it’s easy enough to get to sp3, complete the prompt and fire. Repeat a couple of times and doneI guess you haven't tried DOT boost yet. Try it before they nerf that one as well or remove her entirely.Prowess ender works great still. Just throw the sp3 right after you complete a prompt.First time I have used her in raids. SP3 does the 4% damage….sometimes. I am in rampage, got the prowess boost. But other times in rampage I am doing no damage to Sasquatch with the SP3. Commence the laughing and mocking but in between that… what am I missing?Forget the Prowess ender boost, since it was fixed as it was incorrectly amplifying the special damage. It's DOT boost you must pick. You also need to disable the protection before you throw the SP3.
Re: Ok, what am I doing wrong with Purgatory…
Yep, got it. Just found a video explaining it as well.. thanks.
Re: Well the ban got reversed
If you don’t already, just make sure you have the latest and proper game installed from a proper source.

Re: For people who think Kabam is right about bans
Just say you're illiterate and replying based on recognizing the shapes of some of my words.Just say you don’t know and something is wrong.I have no idea. However, I do know that Kabam has investigated multiple cases of people claiming they were running 100% legit software from 100% legit sources and were able to determine that was not true. There's no way to know if they were lying or mistaken, but whatever they are using to detect unauthorized software has to be looking for some sort of difference, and since every iOS install from the app store is going to be identical, and thus behave identically, any difference their technology sees has to be the result of some form of unauthorized element in the supply chain.Assuming they aren't lying, how are people playing on iPhones getting banned? Side loading doesn't really work on iPhones unless they're really tech savvy and they claim not to be.None of these bans were random, and so far I have yet to see convincing evidence of a single false positive ban yet. I'm not saying there isn't one out there somewhere, but lots of them? Practically impossible at this point. I have seen more people proven to be frauds when asserting their innocence. Some people were simply unaware they were downloading the game from unauthorized sources. Some knew they were doing so but it was the only way around region blocks. But from what I've heard so far, Kabam has yet to find a single player who was banned incorrectly and hasn't been verified to be using unauthorized software. They aren't saying they can prove those players cheated, but the bans aren't about cheating. They are about using unauthorized software or software derived from unauthorized distribution.
This is my alliance member; he hasn't played Necro, Epoch, or even completed 9.3. He doesn't have an r4 champion. He rarely plays BG. In the last war, he died over 10 times because he didn't bring a proper counter. How this guy can use mods? What is the reason? Can anybody explain this? This is so unethical and frustrating. The worst part is people think they are complaining for no reason. You can't just ban random people for no reason.
.
I'm not sitting in the room while they check, so for all I know maybe they found some problem they are working on that I am not aware of. However, at the moment I am aware of no such thing.
The most obvious reason that comes to mind is account sharing. If they shared their account credentials with a friend, a brother, an alliance mate, and those people did anything weird, Kabam may have detected that and banned them. They might not have been banned for side loading on iOS. They might have been banned for conduct not even performed on their actual phone.
Alternatively, a while ago I saw modded MCOC game clients floating around that came with instructions on how to side load them which did not require jail break. It just required a computer. I will not point to where or describe the details, but from what I could gather, any reasonably competent child could have followed the directions and side loaded MCOC with a laptop and a USB cable onto a vanilla iPhone.
