Cheating in Showdown

Yellowflashofdk

There is a guy named Burgess. who is cheating aka using a VPN, he was in the America bracket but when he had seen that he cant win there he used a VPN and transferred to Australia. Now my friend Steel lost his 1st place that was legit. Kabam please look into this, i have screenshots that show that he was indeed in the American bracket if needed.

He'll be caught anyway when they ask for his address to send him equipment. You need to provide ID and evidence of where you live.

Do you have proof hes using a vpn

It’s the same account in 2 different regions 1 day apart. In a time when international travel is very limited

But he'll end up depriving someone who deserves the spor

He'll get caught and you'll be rewarded anyways. As soon as they ask for evidence of where he lives and ID, he'll get caught.

It could have been an error on kabams leaderboard

An error? If it was an error then why would it only be Burgess, the guy who wasn't first in the American region but is in the Asia/Oceania region, who is affected by this? It is incredibly shady and I doubt it's all a coincidence

It’s better to not accuse people blindly without strong evidence.
Be sure Kabam will check out and verify that the qualifiers will be legitimate.
It may be a bug with the leaderboard after all, as others pointed out.

This is the strongest evidence we got mate, its fine if its an error, we just need Kabams feedback on this. If we are wrong, we apologize for it. Peace

You sure are confident without a shred of proof.

So why accuse someone of cheating right off the bat before knowing if there's an error? Why not just ask if there's an error first?

It's no different than saying your friend cheated to get first place. Can I prove it? No, can you prove the other guy used a VPN? No you cant.

You actually calling out someone like this for everyone to see is so uncool i cant even... the same thing happend to another guy who was wrongly placed in wrong region but kabam fixed. Most likely its the same with this guy. Dont try and bury people you know nothing about like this

Oh is that a fact? Why did it happen just to him then, the guy who is first in Aus and Ocean but not first in America? Weird coincidence isnt it? We are showing what we have seen and what we think. Lets just wait out a Kabams repsonse.

lowlevelplayer

anything below #1 spot doesn't matter anyways

Look at everything that surrounds this game. Is Kabam error free? No they aren't. Whoever updates the leaderboard could've accidentally put the wrong name in the wrong column and then realized their mistake.

There’s a high chance of it to be nothing else but a bug.
Now imagine how would you feel if you were at this guy’s position, being publicly accused of cheating, after putting so much effort to get your position.
Yes, there’s a chance of cheating, but a chance it’s not enough to destroy people’s reputation 😉
It’s more than sure Kabam will do anything needed to guarantee the top spots are legit 👍
Peace mate and patience 🙂

I think someone needs to read the rules before posting stuff like these

People need to stop getting outraged on behalf of other people. Unless it's you that's being directly affected by the leaderboard. If it's that big of a deal to your friend Steel, I'm sure they can come here and complain themselves.
