Is Kabam checking to make sure there’s no cheaters in the top 2500 in BGs?

@Kabam Jax I hope the team is doing it’s best to make sure the appropriate ppl get the rewards they should when Battlegrounds Beta leaderboard is sorted. I know I’m not the only one who wants to know if Kabam is checking this thoroughly or not. Any updated info would be appreciated. Thanks 😊

They are. Nothing is perfect, of course, but they are and have been checking throughout the beta. I believe other players who have been keeping watch have noticed that some players who were seen pulling off impossible victories have been oddly taking a break from the game for a while now.

Yeah just hope they checked one last time for the very end but I guess we will see

but did they leave the cheaters on the leaderboard and not allow whoever was downstairs to take better rewards? isn't it unfair?

SirGamesBond

Why are the modders still in leaderboards?
Let's say, they didn't get rewards, fine.
But why those names are still there.

Is it possible that Kabam is unable to detect cheaters?

Sure, some of these accounts definitely look suspicious, but Kabam cannot act on suspicion alone.

SirGamesBond

Watching cheaters thrive is a one of the worse feelings in this game.

The visuals of the Leaderboard are not an indication of any actions that may have been taken.

Hey everyone,
We're following up on this right now, so please standby.

I know I mentioned on a post last week that we did a wave of bans for BG but they were not visibly removed from the leaderboards.

Will let you know when I hear more.

Rewards were sent. Cheaters not banned. I finished 2503, no change.... So im sure Kabam havent remove them from leaderboards... I Still see them in top 100.
Is this bug, or u tolerate cheating Kabam?

Kabam Jax - Can you confirm how many accounts you banned? I was ranked 935th as BGs expired and received ranked rewards for 1000-2,500 bracket. I opened a ticket referencing your comments of just shy of a 100 bans on July 22nd and the fact that they did not reflect in the leaderboard. I do not see how its impossible to drop 65 spots plus the bans you did with less than a minute left in BGs but fear no further clarity may be provided.

I ended up in 1044. Seeing cheaters in the leaderboard meant for me that I will at least be around 944 (by subtracting the 100ish cheater that were banned but not removed from the leaderboard). Now I still get rewards for top 2500 not too 1000.
Another disappointment from Kabam’s side. I start hating this game for real and losing my interest in it

Hey everybody,

There was a Ban wave that took place before the rewards went out, but our current tech was not able to remove them from the Leaderboards. This is something that we need to work on. Those that were banned for cheating will not receive Rewards.

As for those that were knocked out of the Top 2500 by players that used Mods, we will be adjusting the rank rewards to account for this. For example, if there was a ban in the Top 10. then #11 will get the Top 10 rewards. This might take a little while. Additionally, we're not finished distributing the rewards.

TL:DR; the In-game leaderboards still show players that were banned. They did not receive rewards. Players they knocked out of their brackets/rank will get the rewards they should have earned.

@Kabam Miike - Thank you for the update!

TheBair123

Do you know the number of accounts that were removed from either the Top 1,000 or the Top 2,500?

Demonzfyre

I think Jax said over 100

TheBair123

That’s great news if it’s the real number

L0TUS_MANTIS

Wow didn't know they sent some people rewards already. I pushed for top 2500 because those rewards would get me to Paragon. Ended up 2588 so if they remove at least 100 I'd be in.

The thing that sucks is if they don't give out rewards before the calendar reset, or before next week's EOP, I would miss out on a month of the Paragon calendar/daily crystals and the opportunity to achieve the 20 point milestone for EOP.

Modders blow

QuikPik

Let's hope they are not done with the bans yet. I still see a potential cheater in the top 100 that was active a few hours ago.

Pupkac

Is there a conspiracy theory in your post, that Kabam havent ban cheaters at all And ONLY try to save a situation giving more ppl.rewards???

Pupkac

Well there Are Still some players without single R4 in top 30 WHO have been online few Hours ago. Not sure if they Are cheaters or ban Wave miss them, or they were not cheating. Other player cheaters seems without alliance Now.
But Still THX to Kabam i finally got rewards

SandeepS

I'm not impacted but good to see this happening

QuikPik

No conspiracy theory. Kabam has banned a bunch of people, I'm just stating that they didn't get them all. I still see 10k prestige, sub 1m rating, 100% Abyss accounts active in the top 100.

frodo2377

So will you be adjusting the leaderboard to reflect everyone's proper placement or just adjust rewards? Also...will leaderboard "enhancements" be part of Battlegrounds final release or is more work needed to make that possible?

theEnevitable

@Kabam Miike / @Kabam Jax - I opened a ticket with support referencing that I received incorrect rewards as my ranking is 1031st with a score of 585 (same as @Lnny) and it does not reflect the banned accounts like you all stated. I referenced your all's comments but the support team closed the ticket saying they verified the ranking was accurate. Can you confirm who is correct in this case between you or the Support Team or confirm that a score of 585 will result in top 1000 rewards once you all have time to remove the banned accounts manually? Given the screenshots above, 586 already received top 1000 rewards so logically, I would assume 585 would be next up as long as at least 31 accounts are removed.

It's possible that @DusterN9ne took his screenshot before the leaderboards were cleared up, while you took yours recently (after it was cleared up).

Just providing possible explanations that resulted in the disparity.

No idea why too. See what Kabam says. Fringe cases are always the trickiest.
