Players should be very concerned going forward
After the game team initiated BANS for players due to hacking and account sharing yesterday it begs a bigger question as to what has the game team been doing all year?
The fact that it took a video by a youtuber to highlight quite frankly what a unacceptable job the game team has been doing to prevent hacking really makes many players wonder if the game team has the right leadership in place to ensure that the integrity of the game will stay intact going forward. Also the players that were banned seemed to be mostly ones that either hacked using a mod or account shared in the arenas, however most of the LOL finishers in many alliances who had other alliance members complete it for them and didn’t get banned shows that as much as we have heard that each account that completed LOL is reviewed from the moderators is an obvious… I don’t want to say lie but for this post purposes we will assume that the moderator who claimed this misspoke.
Plus it seems that most major decisions which are made by the game team whenever there is a problem is strictly reactionary rather than proactive. Most major businesses incorporate prospective Courses of Action (COA’s) when implemented any type change however it seems that the MCOC game team leadership doesn’t utilize this concept as evidenced by the recent problems with D. Bautista quest, Version 12 in March and now with the banning of hundreds of players. Some of the players which were banned needed to be due to hacking and arena however those that were banned due to someone helping them in AQ when they weren’t available is in my personal opinion uncalled for. Does it violate TOS yes however due to the game teams 1 HOUR timer and 1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTE timer in AQ/AW it does put a strain on a players personal obligations. Why the game team insist on keeping these timers and not going to a 30 min energy timer is beyond me. My belief is that if a player logs into the game more they will spend more which quite frankly is idiotic. So in part players who were banned due to AQ/AW account sharing is partially Kabam’s fault due to they didn’t listen to the overwhelming consensus to change the timers to 30 minutes. Yes a small handful of players did say they liked the 1 hour timers however the overwhelming majority wants 30 minutes to help with personal life obligations.
I for one am very worried about the health of the game going forward and quite concerned. The game team will again fall off again and not try to prevent hackers and arena account sharers just as they have done in the past. One of the reasons there is literally ZERO competition in AQ and AW is the game teams laziness in verifying that LOL finishers where in fact legitimate. In fact there is just about ZERO competition in the game right now as far as I am concerned as it’s all about $$$$ and who has the most time on their hands. I hope I am wrong and the game flourishes but based on yesterday I am more worried that this game is not going in the right direction and a leadership within the game team needs to take place.
