According to my theory of ‘cheativity,’ OP got tempted by someone offering ‘free, unbannable cheats.’ He probably spent a week debating whether to try them, thinking, ‘Maybe I can test this safely.’ Finally, he says, ‘Freak it, I’ll give it a shot.’ Starts small, just a tiny quest, assuming a minor ban…. or no ban at all….would be harmless. If it worked, he probably planned to go bigger next. But surprise, surprise… Kabam’s system wasn’t as clueless as he thought. Classic case of ‘thought I was smart, turned out I wasn’t.

Looks like Kabam figured it out — too much player engagement = lags, bugs, and disconnects. Their brilliant solution? Remove energy refills from everywhere. Problem solved…

Honestly, this isn’t even new. Energy shortages have always been the so-called ‘feature’ that pushed me to try other games. As a non-arena-grinder, what else can you do without refills? Stare at rankups, read through champ abilities like a book…. That shortage actually got me into Genshin and Valo, and I gradually took a break from MCOC because those games were more fun.

Then Kabam started giving more refills, and I was able to clear more content, gather resources faster, and join a better alliance. I even started enjoying AW fights, AQ, and alliance-focused activities more.

Now? They’re doing the same thing again, and it’s pushing players away. Kabam really doesn’t seem to learn from their own mistakes.

Perma ban is because it's easier than taking all the ill-gotten rewards/rankups from your account manually. And frankly in their shoes, I'd do just the same. Cheaters don't deserve their time

Account sharing where you give your account to your little brother is less likely (like .01%) for a ban than straight up cheating. So I doubt that this part of your story is true either. You just wanted to cheat

Yes, skipping it definitely. Too stressful.

So, I just finished EQ, classic and elder…I can transparently say it is by far the worst piece of content I've played here in a long time. I don't mind end game modes like Crucible, WoF and Necro but this is EQ, I went through all my revives and health, spent about 800 units and the rewards were lackluster. And I'm not a bad player…

Should I have done it? No…probably should have stopped after I finished classic but didn't, I wanted to push through and mentally got caught up.

Opinion, don't do it, EQ was never meant to be "end game", its where we practice and play, spend some time and learn. The rewards are not worth the cost running this, and if you are in the mid to upper 20ks in prestige, its way worse.

Do I regret finishing? Yes…I don't care about the money grab, people who spend will spend, people who don't won't. But the damage is done as far as I'm concerned…

CCP, there were so many that I followed and 70% are now dead to me, that 70%, that have been bought, want to talk about how great the mode is, how great the rewards are…all BS, I get that they want to make money, I never knock a man's hustle but your followers come to you for guidence…think about that for a minute. I'm down to two, who have consistently called it out as is.

Problems:
Adaptive Prestige while a great idea very poorly executed
Over tuned defenders
Overloaded nodes
Classic completion to Elder requirement
Weak rewards

for those that TLDR:

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME UNIL THEY FIX IT

Brilliant idea: make the game more difficult. Reduce energy. Take away player points. Bugs that make units and items disappear. Perfect system. Kaban. It's become a Las Vegas casino, but with GTA cheats.

Yeah, I was curious—if my thread joins the thousand others, does it magically multiply into a million, or does it just trigger snowflakes like you who can't scroll past without whining?

They lied. Simple
