    So, 168hrs/7 days ban for all who abused it or people who did it like 2times are exempted?

    Looks like it. 2 times could easily have been an accident.

    2nd time you realize it's an exploit. 3rd time you did it intentionally.

    Should have just made all the paths and rewards on those paths random. Then when you repeat the quest, the path you took couldn't be taken again. That way its more frustrating to try to get the one item you want and its business like usual.

    Bro I was legit ready to actually spend some of my money on some Prof X/Apoc cav crystals (my 2 favorite ever champs released in 1 month, 2nd was doom and mr fantastic but I wasn’t playing at the time) but nah not anymore, not after how Kabam handled this situation. And I’m sure many others are gonna become ftp after this just like me. Not worth giving Kabam my money. I feel bad for the people banned who had the sigil because they’re losing value from it every second.

    I don't feel bad for anyone that exploited. If they played by the rules, they wouldn't be "losing value" from anything.
    I feel bad for them because they have a 1 week ban, their alliances are being massively affected, and rightfully, their rewards are being removed. And if they’ve given money to Kabam before that must hurt even more. I just think that’s too much. The way Kabam handled this situation tells me that I can’t trust them enough with my money. That’s a different decision for everyone else to make but I’ve made up my mind.
    Lol yes evil Kabam for banning for exploits. I bet you think shoplifters and bank robbers shouldn't be arrested and charged either.

    Let the cheaters in the game. Kabam evil, cheaters good.
    Stop comparing crimes to abusing a bug they are not similar at all
    They break rules. They are the same..
    Killing someone and abusing a bug is not similar at this point youre just talking bs
    Where did i say "killing people"
    we are talking about crimes killing people is a crime
    Riiiiigght

    Not all crimes are killing people, you created a straw man argument to accuse him of a false equivalency.

    Yo. First of all, how is this a breech of terms of service? Nowhere when Kabam advertised this quest did it say not to try and do it multiple times. Not one place. They basically said “here’s this quest And here’s how you get a key to do it”. That’s it. I did it a few times but my path was just sig stones which I don’t need, was just hoping it would change. You guys messed up and are punishing people for your mistake. This is wrong.


    Sucks to suck.

    REGARDLESS of everything, 7 days is absolutely ridiculously too long. Kabam, you made your point. You have been extremely lenient in the past, and this is your way of laying down the law. But 7 days? Come on now, 3 days I felt was even excessive, but 7?

    Depending on the degree that someone has exploited it, 7 days could be seen as lenient. We choose our actions. We don't get to choose our consequences.

    7 is pretty darn lenient, in most games you would be creating a new account.
    Agreed. Imagine the saltfest if this was a perma.
    Who says it doesn't turn perma for some potential repeat offenders

    How many people believe Kabam will actually find every Summoner that got multiple rewards in the bugged Treasure Quest? I have a group of people on Line waiting (who may or many not have gotten multiple rewards) to verify Kabam did what they said they will do. What do you think??

    What’s funny is that those who didn’t complete a(one) run in time are ultimately punished. I have zero rewards from those quests so far.

    This thread is getting really off topic, how have we gone from exploiting bugs to crimes? its also not going anywhere.
  • Esket1t_420Esket1t_420 Member Posts: 548 ★★★
    they already banned like 40% of their entire player base for a week so they’ll probably find the rest

    Yeah they seem to have a very good system for it

    Yes not all crimes are killing people



    But none of these are comparable to abusing a bug on a mobile game as its just data nothing that will effect the developers compared to shop lifting where you are robbing from a store which will affect the store owner since they dont have an unlimited amount of products unlike in mcoc where its shards and awakening gems are unlimited as its not physical but digital.

    Does not matter how it affects someone, it is still a “crime” In addition that store owner typically has insurance, thefts will be paid back to them, I used to run a dominos pizza, I knew when my drivers went out that even if they were robbed we would still get the money from our insurance so I focused on protecting the drivers.

    In addition cheating for resources does cost MCOC lost revenue.

    YOU BREAK TOS, YOU GET PUNISHED

    SIMPLE

    I'd say that nearly everyone has exploited some game mechanic in their MCOC lifetime. Does everyone get punished? No.
    As a Police Officer would say if you use the excuse, "Exploiter: but all those other people are going faster than me and breaking the law... Officer: but I caught you."
    Not excusing their behavior. Just saying that everyone shouldn't be sh*tting on the people who exploited, because they've probably exploited some aspect of the game once in their MCOC lifetime.
  • MalchaeisMalchaeis Member Posts: 207 ★★
    I think both sides can agree on one thing. If they had just locked the quest from the beginning, nobody would be upset or mad. I personally don't think anybody should have gotten banned. Take away the items. Undo any champion ranked using the said items. Give the players the title of cheater(that can't be changed for a month) that exploited the glitch. Give a form of story progression compensation(Not expecting much) and lets all get back to having fun playing this game. My only other question is was the door left open on purpose?

    I have never exploited a bug. if anything seems fishy I question it.

    So a guy who farmed 33 AGs has the same period of ban with someone who was curious and ran twice on the 600k gold path?

    Nope, someone who ran 2x didn’t get banned, now if you ran 3 times...

    They banned the allys to with that desition....all of those that talk in favor of kabam they have a 45 lvl account...we pay a lot of money to lose the season cause KABAMS ban is faster than aegons bug to be fixed....this is disrespect to the allys that be punished without reason....

    It's disrespectful to Kabam to exploit in their game. Maybe tell your members not to cheat.
    Well its their fault for making the bug in the first place ots their fault.
