Kingpin Arena Bots Take 2

So, apparently the thread was deleted that I started yesterday. However, this is a conversation that is still worth having.

Hey Kabam. There are a plethora of arena bots that are causing your real players to lose out on rewards that they worked hard to achieve. I would like to know what will be done about this and how will you make real players whole.

This is a known issue. Please do not comment that they aren't bots but real players with a 600k rating that just enjoy playing arena and spending units. Bots are in the game. This is a fact that is can't be argued. I want to know what's going to be done about it.

I don't think they'll publicly share what they would do with bots. That would just make it easier for them to find other loopholes.

Hopefully those accounts get banned though.

You are probably right. I would at least like them to acknowledge what is happening. Just take a look at the top 150-200 of the Kingpin arena. At least 1/3 are bots. I looked up the accounts. They aren't hardcore arena grinders like some tried to argue.

I don't run arena often. I find it extremely tedious. I just did the run b/c I was doing one of my few runs for BCs. I have an unduped 6* KP. So I figured let me just see how much I can put up. I had just over 40 million and placed 118. If I lost out on KP fairly, I would have no issue and would never have posted here. As you can see by my profile, I don't post much. I've been playing for 5+ years and don't feel I need to come here with issues b/c they usually get resolved eventually. This is different though. A large number of people lost out on a reward they should have received. Based on the comments I did see yesterday along with speaking to my alliance, a lot of people just don't do arena at all b/c they know it's unfair. I love this game. I wouldn't still be playing if I didn't. This is a very well known problem and I can't understand how Kabam can actually post that leaderboard for everyone to see knowing what it entails.

I'm not one to cry for compensation for every little thing. In the context of this game, this is a big deal. Kabam posted a leaderboard with clear bots. If they say and do nothing, it means they condone cheating. I would hope they are better than that and publicly fix this problem.

The team is always working to ensure honest play within the game, and updating the methods by which we do so. This is an ongoing process that will always be updating and changing, and we aren't really able to go into any specifics publicly as that could make the whole process harder. If you have specific accounts you suspect of suspicious activity, you can report them directly to our Support Team here.
