    I've been playing since the start and have many accounts, main one valiant the rest throne breaker, woke up this morning to fine one of the throne breaker accounts banned for 7 days due to TOS 8 3rd party usage. This is 100% rubbish. No idea what kabam have done but they have messed up!

    Besides regular players, any content creators got banned?

    Though I have no data to back it up, I believe that the bans have been legit. I have not seen any regularforum member saying that they have been banned. While I know our numbers are small, if someone that we know had been banned (Bendy, DNA, Viper, Pixie, etc), then I would believe it more. Every account that has said that they have been unfairly banned is either a new, relatively new, or very infrequent poster.

    But I will also gladly eat my words if it proves to have a ton of false positives.


    You are either blind, selective in what posts you’ve read or you just haven’t read through every post on the subject. I have seen several regular forums members who have been banned. Oh, and when I say regular, I don’t mean people with thousands upon thousands of posts or comments or anyone that camps out on the forum 7 days a week, 365 days a year, but regular enough that their usernames are recognisable.
    When Will made that comment, those posts weren't there

    Sizin yapacağınız işin........... hayatımda bir kez bile hileye bulaşmadım sadece 4 sene önce bottan dolayı 1 haftalık banım var. O günden beri manuel kasıyorum. Hesap paylaşımım yok birşey yok. Bütün emeklerimi heba ettiniz. Size hakkımı helal etmiyorum. Bu saatten sonra oyuna döneni .............

    Is anyone actually banned from this or are they all 7 day suspensions, which seems to be the majority of what’s been posted on forums?

    Guys I think 10k is a very big number, even if 4-5 % of bans are false positives (entirely positive) it's still 500 accounts. A ban of this scale likely have few legit guys getting banned or warned.

    That's another reason why this is so weird. You don't think they were surprised at the number itself?... They just said 10k high five and said have a great weekend guys?...
    its appalling how they pulled this bs on the weekends, they had no reason for it but they deliberately decided to do it when you cant reach support
    How long is your ban?

    I have been banned for a week for using third party software but I have no third party software whatsoever. I don't know how to prove it to anyone. I don't even have VPN for prime suggesting it might be for that. I am just being frustrated at this moment.

    I got banned this morning after having some wins on BG and I can confirm that I use no 3rd-party app or any cheat of that sort since it defeats the idea of a challenge when playing a global platform game.
    The only thing I can think of is the PC version install from Kabam site and mostly use it for auto fights since I find it difficult to keep up with the keys.
    I have submitted a ticket to Kabam and await their response. The decision would be that if Kabam does not revert this action on my account I will just quit the game and find something else to play.
    Thank you for your comments but know this, Kabam can also make mistake since their decisions are run by people just like you and I.

    I’m surprised at how many people are
    commenting. But wasn’t this expected with radiance coming in? More people would cheat? I don’t know, it would be a crazy coincidence that a new extremely meta reward drops, 10,000 accounts get banned, and a ton of people come on here that get falsely banned. To quote one of of my favorite sith:
    “As one trained in the force, you know that true coincidences are rare.”

    My guess is that the scale of the modding problem is much worse than we would have guessed. Yeah, 10K accounts seems like a big number but it might just mean that cheating is even worse than the recent BGs season would make it seem.

    One commonality to all the posts from banned bros — “I don’t use any third party stuff” but they never say a word about where they downloaded the game in the first place. And that’s the real issue that Kabam is chasing, right?

    I refuse to believe that all 10000 account were banned legitimately.

    They have a 99.99% success rate so im guessing the majority of them are, only 3 ppl in my time of being on the forums out of thousands of i didnt cheat post have been reversed

    This is all very interesting. I'm quite old and have no idea what a mod is. I would not know how to find one or how to use one.

    Not a mod per se its more the system detected that the ppl who were banned downloaded the game from a non approved site which would mean anything other than the google play store or apple store or through any other means of pc other than kabams official website
  • Graves_3Graves_3 Member Posts: 1,835 ★★★★★
    Some of the posters have said they have multiple accounts and some are banned and some are not. Is it possible to have a mod just on one account and not on the other in the same device?

    @willrun4adonut Check my account
    I even signed up for your incursions carry thing the last time.
    I was unfairly suspended for a week too.
    If you check the discord, I've posted in the bug-reports section just 2 days ago when I was doing EoP and dormammu was bugged.
    Ok, I'll take it back. Thanks for tagging me @Sceptilemaniac2

    So many ban posts to read through. I'm need more popcorn since this will be a marathon of a show.

    I do. I believe the best in people and will continue to do so.

    This is not the same thing. Kabaam introduced a new anti-cheat solution that is horribly broken.

    Says who? What proof do you have that it failed or succeeded?

    I suspect for users knowingly or unknowingly using a version of the game that "fell off the back of the truck" but playing by the rules, it's broken. However, you don't announce the total bans in a statement if you haven't already run an internal report giving you those numbers beforehand and having time to argue Too High? Too Low? Are We Doing This Or Naw? In short, this apparently is the new reality for the game: no OEM parts, packaging, trace evidence, market and now, no tolerance for any of it, cheating or otherwise.
    This is their ban policy choice going forward. It wasn't before, but it is now, so I wouldn't use the term "broken" for the new policy. I'd certainly use it for player trust, though, as evidenced by the rancor in the discourse.

    Well I am a UK player with many accounts 1 valiant the rest TB, one of my TB accounts is suspended for 7 days due to this error on kabams part. I can 100% confirm all my accounts were downloaded in the play store.

    I just wanted to comment that kabam ban mistakes happen. It happened to me 5-6 years ago. Kabam reviewed and reversed the ban and gave me some compensation. But it did put a burden on my alliance and broke a lot of trust with them despite my proof of innocence. It also took 4 days for them to reverse the ban.
