**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

    JUST REMOVE THE ITEMS PROBLEM IS SOLVED. BAN PEOPLE AFTER SEASON IS OVER IF YOU WANT TO

    Nope!

    I would have gone as far as banning them so they miss out on the 6* shards from the multi month quest too.

    Exactly who is getting banned? I was completely unaware exploiting a bug would get me banned. I made 6k 6 star shards. Many other people made even more. It just feels out of the blue to me, especially after people were compensated for the bug at the red room quests. Were people banned then as well? I’m a throne breaker with no content but abyss left to do, but a 7 day ban is still going to feel like a long time. I honestly feel like kabam made the wrong move here.

    Did you think getting 6k 6*shards from 6 paths was proper? People have gotten banned before for running exploits like you did. You should have known better, if you’re as experienced as you say you are, so you have no excuses.

    It is against to rules to exploit this bug, but many people stopped after 1-2 runs and realized that it was a bug. They shouldn’t have been punished.

    How does Kabam know which players abused the bug and which ones were just unaware of it? Not everyone who plays MCOC reads these threads
    They have all the data.They can see everything on everyones account. When you got, how you got and whatever else they want to see.

    Damn, you really like to kick people when they're down, don't you?
    Oh poor people, having to face the consequences of their actions.

    No poor people who are affected because in same alliance

    I would post a SS of the post talking about the event, it I won’t.

    Maybe if you go read it you can figure that out for yourself.

    Why not just take back the shards or crystals or whatever? This killed any ally who had members do this.

    But have you never exploited?
    Oh I see, the great intellectual argument "Whataboutism".

    Exactly. There's just way too much assuming for me. Again, this was messy execution.
    In all seriousness, how was it messy? You have never been able to get repeat rewards from this type of event. Anyone doing so knew exactly what they were doing. Whether they got gold, sig stones, or awakening gems is irrelevant. They got rewards that they KNEW they shouldn't have and were punished accordingly.

    I truly don't understand how this is a bad thing.
    May have been exploited on accident by a new player (Like they started 2 week before this). But, yes everyone deserved the ban but maybe reduce the time for players that realized what they were doing was an exploit and stopped after 1 or 2 runs.

    I agree, if your rob a bank for 40 dollars your punishment is minimal, however if you rob a store for 40 000 dollars your sentence is much higher.

    Some of the bans should have been shorter for some cases but we live in kabams world so their laws
