**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

No worries about a bubble being popped, mines nearly unpoppable, sortof akin to your well documented banter of onesided discussion derail instigating comments not able to be silenced regardless of countless requests and attempts to do so. Kudos to you groundroundnround ;-)
But if you would like to continue the debate over the TOS and it legality and enforcebility, I welcome you to message me direct and we can debate the law privately as it pertains to the nation, states and international jurisdictions including digital commerce and consumer protection laws in the US.
Wait til this next AW season comes around, would guarantee there will be a big drop off to season 10.. noones gonna pay 30-35$ to heal a single boosted champion
It's about culpability by a company that has consistently failed to do right by its patrons. Specifically with the fraud issue, reports were given a very long time ago about credit card, gift card scams etc..... Its not only about money, but a serious crime. What was done other than temporary bans? While a content creator screws up getting greedy with an option available during beta testing and gets perma banned?
And contrary to some folks claiming that this is kabams game and they can change anything if they so choose. To a certain extent thats true, but I dont believe there is 1 person who would contest that Kabam is a business, and we are its customers.
A business is an organization or economic system where GOODS and SERVICES are EXCHANGED for one another or FOR MONEY.
There's a reason the FTC has a seperate bureau for consumer protection and each and every state has their own consumer advocacy office. A business can write up a TOS to include anything they want to and require agreement from us in order to access their services but that does not automatically make those agreements override laws that are in place so consumers do not get taken advantage of.
If there was a clause stating that I must agree to relinquish a finger after 6 mos. From the date I registered my email, am I assed out of a finger cause the TOS stipulates it and I agreed??
Just take a minute and consider what has happened, what is happening, and what could possibly happen in the future if we just sit around and think, "there's really nothing we can do, so might as well get over it".
As for your claim, absolutely. If, in the future, something like this happens again, we can expect them to take a similar action.
Therein lies the problem. It may have been reported earlier, but Reports are not enough. They can't go on that solely because if that were the case, anyone with a resentment could send one in and have someone banned. It's not even enough if you know who's doing it. You have to trace the behavior in the Account to the individual responsible, and they're operating under assumed Accounts for the express purpose of doing this. Most likely taking measures to ensure they're not traceable by other means. Which means it a Cat-and-Mouse game of tracking down Accounts, banning them, and having them pop up again. You have to have undeniable proof that goes back to the User responsible, and even then, they just create new ones in the meantime, and people are continued to be stolen from. This is pretty much the only option they had to stop it from going on.
