Perma Ban on Cheaters

Thank you Kabam.

This is excellent news to hear especially as it will affect those who willingly used probably their main account as well to get the rewards and title.

Can't wait for the next ban hammer for those in BGs!

The coolest news so far I think. Thank you, Kabam! Finally some actions that are needed.

It's a great step in the right direction however, did you notice how it's only for incursions? At least the post itself anyway ..... the cheating in incursions has no negative effect on the player base, it only has an effect on Kabam themselves. They should of put all that effort into BGs as a priority, the cheating in there has a direct effect on the players within the mode. I couldn't care less about people cheating to get a legend's title, bares no weight on my gaming experience

Has kabam recently posted anything about banning those incursion & bg Modders?
Maybe I missed

Coppin

Right direction; and the easy one
Its not hard to identify the obvious ones, the part where I am very satisfied with... They are going to ban those who piggybacked the cheaters too ..

Under the News & Announcements page.

Glad to hear there will finally be consequences, and I am confident that if it is done correctly it will curb much of the cheating in the game…but I want to give it a couple months and see if this is actually being upheld before getting too excited. If there’s no significant reduction in modders in content that actually affects other players then there will be no real point to this.

This. Thank you for listening to the players but you should also expand this to include looking further at Abyss and EoP. These are other pieces of Everest content that modders use to help construct BG decks the way legitimate players do, and then use these plundered rewards to camouflage their ways in competitive content.

It’s a great start but there are other watch towers to erect in solo content that might help keep these no talent scum bags out of the contest.

Thanks for getting this one right, it is appreciated.

Big thanks to the game team for at least taking this must needed step against those incursion Modders and the carried players.

Chatterofforums

I'm very happy to hear this but also very confused/concerned that the post was specifically to incursions. The modders in BG have a far more negative impact to the player base and I'm hoping the permanent bans are for those modding there as well. Some clarity on this would be great.

BlackOracle

They do ban cheaters in BGs, just not a perma ban. Which I would like that to be the next step that Kabam does to those who cheat.

Darth_Stewie

Good to know! I will be more aggressive on reporting BG cheaters now.

I wouldn’t be surprised that this event served 2 purposes. First to give the community another “legends type” title to achieve. Second being an easy way to bait out modders for a ban.

Chuck_Finley

Incursions. Seriously? The average player doesn’t lose a thing if a modder blasts through all danger rooms.

The modes we need permabans are where modders ARE TAKING RESOURCES AND REWARDS FROM LEGIT SUMMONERS.

You know.. if you still care about us at all. The last 24 hours have a left that an open question at the moment.

Prismane1269

Yeah, probably this month’s sq was set as a trap for the modders XD

Coppin

You are not going to be naive enough to think.. "oh modders only mod Bgs..." They probably cheat in all content...

Sunstruck

Appreciate the steps. Finally!

Cat_Murdock

If they’re modding in Incursions, it’s extremely likely they’re cheating elsewhere also.

Chuck_Finley

And?

There are modders at all levels there as evidenced by the leader board not being cleaned last season. Those aren’t going to be 2 star legend accounts in incursions.

The permabans need to be widespread. Obvious low account incursion legends can’t even access battlegrounds without story progression.

So no, this really doesn’t help the BG issue on its own

Saske97

Amazing news, honestly. I hope permanent bans become the norm for modders and cheaters and not just for incursion but every game mode. Alliances piloting wars should get the same treatment. This is a great start though.

Iamnike

I dont understand why they give perma bans as soon as they catch you modding. Hope they seriously crack down.

Cat_Murdock

I’m not implying it’s a catch all full fix for BG, just that there will likely be a good deal of crossover of accounts that were banned who were cheating in both modes and helps to some degree.

Chuck_Finley

Don’t get me wrong, I hope you are right…

rwhack

I’ll believe it when I see it. You got the biggest accounts in game from TCN using arena bots and modding BG’s. Nothing has happened.

o_o

I've semi-seriously wondered whether Incursions sector 6 and the rewards at the end of it were an elaborate honeypot to lure and catch modders... probably not, but maybe??

Stellar

And don't forget to ban mercs and their customers too !

Vydra

I hope that with this announcement, Kabam Support take our tickets a little more seriously when blatant cheats are also advocating modded merc services. This just increases the number of modders we have many folds. Accounts that have been accessed by modded accounts should also have an investigation opened up

Their reign of insolence ends with this statement from Kabam I hope

BlackOracle

If it was, they are late in catching them as the Sector 6 style of rewards have been around when they first update Incursions.

Valmez

Yep it's easy to ban a level 12 account that has gotten a legend title and pat themselves on the back for banning them permanently.

Let's see if they have the guts to ban whale accounts permanently who have cheated the game for much longer period of time for the same thing.
