None of this 30 day or even 7 day slap ln the wrist, peope know what they did and are doing.
May it be fraud units/cheap units
May it be piloting
May it be hiring bots for arena
There are players from the top from masters down to even the silver alliances, and people only get a “timed” banned?
Its all goes in the same trash labeled as
“Cheating”

its 3 strikes, on 3rd its permabanned.
i know several people who unit frauds thousands of dollars of cheap odins, and only serve 7 day banned.
with recent banned wave today, alot of people was banned for using arenas bots, especially the ones in 5* featured arena.
That u don’t Ikow somone got hit ther didt desver it and he got compensated for it.
Even murderers who are convicted of murder, still plead not guilty.,before going through the trial then be convicted
Running around with a Ban Hammer is not a reasonable way to deal with every rule broken. There's a reason they have varying punishments. Of course, repeat offenses should be dealt with more severely, but I also don't agree with deleting every Account that's broken a rule, automatically. It depends on the circumstances. The War situation is a separate one. I also agree that there are complications from lowering Rating. Not my call.
The thing is, people who got banned today, alot of banned for using Arena Bots
then got X champion in arena and used that X champion in AW/AQ and go through content.
especially in masters, not a SINGLE defender is a 4*.
Since there are 150 spots in 5* featured arena people are getting screwed over that legitimitly grind.
So a viable solution would be to remove the Champs then, if in fact people were caught cheating for them. I have no information about specific cases.
I think they should police this more, but I think there should be degrees of difference over the type of offense. Technically catching someone logging into his sister's account while she's traveling so she can get the calendar rewards is a TOS violation just like botting the arena, but I don't think they deserve the same punishment even on repeat offenses.
I think the more the offense affects the gameplay of others, the more severe the punishment should be, and the more excessive the infraction is, the more severe the punishment should be. I think three small different infractions that have no real impact on the rest of the game shouldn't draw a serious penalty just for being the third strike, on the other hand large scale cheating can justify a permanent ban on the very first infraction if the degree of cheating was large enough.
What? No. I said a viable solution would be to remove the Champs, along with whatever other punishment they decide to give. If you cheat to get a Champ, you don't get to keep it.
No. Not technically. That's just making one problem pertain to another. If the Champs are used fairly in War, that's not cheating. The fact that they cheated to get them is an issue in and of itself.
If Kabam allows people to keep and use Champs that are ill-gotten, that's a separate problem. If they used them in War, that's not cheating, unless they actually cheated in the War.
Using cheated in champs in war is not cheating?
If the only punishment for botting the arena was taking away the arena rewards gained, that would make botting the arena a zero-risk endeavor. If you're not caught, win. If you are caught, no loss (because you're losing rewards you wouldn't have gotten anyway).
using champs u cheated to get in arena then using in in aw is still cheating
thats like me robbing a bank and using the money to buy groceries
That is problematic and should be dealt with, but I don't think you can count it as two separate offenses for the purpose of deciding if the person was a repeat offender. Otherwise, you might as well count every arena fight that is won by a bot to be a separate offense, and all botting offenses become multiple offenses automatically.
The whole idea behind escalating punishment is not to use technicalities to generate the largest possible punishment but rather to punish the second deliberate decision to commit an offense more harshly than the first one. Using a champ gained improperly through botting isn't making a second deliberate decision to defraud the game. It is a continuation of the initial decision to gain a champ by cheating *and* use them once they have them. That's *why* cheating that earns valuable rewards like champs and rank up materials is in fact such a serious offense. Because those cheats have downstream consequences that are almost impossible to fully account for, and there's essentially no good way to make the other players affected by that cheat whole again. Because it is bad conduct with ripple effects that affect other players.
