Best Of

Agreed, they could have rolled this out better but let me add this...I'm in Indonesia by way of New York, I have a bunch of friends in China that downloaded the game via "apk", they haven't been banned so the whole APK thing that the community is blaming is not accurate.

Lets hope this gets sorted.

Peace

So a simple thought,
99.5% of these bans are probably legit...

Hacks/Mods/Software for these games follow the same fundamental rules, and the main one is that they are data houses, the software Hacks/Mods/Optimization you use for League of Legends will also attack/search for any other apps that it can push into, they are not designed to only work with 1 app. APKs are "open source" which means they have the ability to be tracked by any third party to recognize the system its being used in and constantly monitor that device.

That said, if you have ever used any Hacks/Software for any other app on your device, even if its not MCOC, there is a possibility of that software attaching to MCOC, whether you are using it or not.

Removing these "clients"(Hack/Software) does not actually remove 100% of it, because of the nature of these things, they will always leave a small component in your device to monitor and track your device, there's security software but most are fallible to a certain degree.

So....if you are using any software for...other games, social media, ecomm, tracking or anything else, chances are that software is looking for other things it can integrate with on your device and as a result, possibly MCOC.

It's not "multiple devices", "VPNs" or even moving to a new device that gets you banned.

I'm not attacking anyone, those that use Mods/Hacks...you know who you are, the penalty is what it is. Is there a chance that you are lumped into a error, yes, any new anti-cheat is bound to have some flaws as the ML/Ai sorts its learning.

Just my thoughts, with digital age comes digital issues, a lot of the things you DL to you devices are built with tracking, and tracking software can look like anything.

Good luck all, and really, careful what you download, 90% of the things you've put on your device, even 10 years ago, are still sitting there, whether you deleted or not.

kabam really choosing the most fukin incompetent way to ban modders classic

So the ban wave for last season finally hit? Can't be a coincidence there are these many posts, big L for the modders.

Bro i grinded.....just see my contribution and then say

You can easily grind with mods as long as you didn't make it obvious and were subtle enough about it that you managed to get past the anti cheating system, unfortunately for you, you can't get past an actual Kabam employee who designs the game and knows what's possible and what's not.

I hit mysterium 3... If i had to cheat don't you think I would have gone for mysterium 1 or higher.......I have about 4.5M rating account why would I cheat

1. That means nothing there were modders in Celestial who didn't get banned right away.
2. Not if you're smart about it and trying to be subtle about it.
3. I have 5M rating, been playing since 2015 done with all endgame content no unitman and the highest I went was Arcane 1 because after that all accounts were over 7M. Sure you could argue you're better at the game but if I had to pick between that and you being a modder, then yes I'm gonna go with modder just not a dumb one.

There are many false positives with the ban wave including some reliable forum guys getting banned so watch before talking you can't take back what you said

I can't take it back but I can take an L, I don't mind at all.

Though I have no data to back it up, I believe that the bans have been legit. I have not seen any regularforum member saying that they have been banned. While I know our numbers are small, if someone that we know had been banned (Bendy, DNA, Viper, Pixie, etc), then I would believe it more. Every account that has said that they have been unfairly banned is either a new, relatively new, or very infrequent poster.

But I will also gladly eat my words if it proves to have a ton of false positives.

@willrun4adonut Check my account
I even signed up for your incursions carry thing the last time.
I was unfairly suspended for a week too.
If you check the discord, I've posted in the bug-reports section just 2 days ago when I was doing EoP and dormammu was bugged.

Ok, I'll take it back. Thanks for tagging me @Sceptilemaniac2
