No global compensation for ban waves?

so first off kabam had just listed the compensation towards the 10k innocent players who got banned and yes the compensation was needed, but no compensation for the rest of us who got affected by it? like a good amount of my alliance members got banned and this made us lose wars and drop ranks down and even not complete AQ. Other players have alliance members who cannot finish raids and we the community can’t get any compensation for this like what? I understand and agree that the banned players deserve this as well, but bffr this not only affects them this affects other members.

    Where the banned members of your alliance part of those who got unjustly banned? Or was your alliance just affected by members who were justifiably banned? I ask because I've been on the receiving end of the latter in the past and there's no compensation for that. It was very much a case of "Be mad at the alliance member who got themselves banned, not at Kabam for enforcing their rules".

    In either case, I don't think a global compensation package is warranted. I could maybe see a package sent out specifically to alliances that were indeed affected, but I see no reason why my alliance would get anything, for example.

    I do agree; but you gotta make your argument a bit more real, specific and realistic. Saying you lost because of bans is like saying if you had bought 1 more lottery ticket you would have won.

    Okay so you’re telling me with 9 banned players in your alliance not being able to complete their path. You’re not bound to drop from plat 2 to plat 4? Is that not realistic? is not banned players not being able to 100% raids not impacting the alliance and the rewards?

    I clicked on this thread originally to rant about how ridiculous it is for players who weren't even banned to be looking for a hand out. But you make a decent point about the knock-on effects of the bans. Alliance mates in particular were left hanging for at least one, maybe two wars. I'm sure it affected AQ too. I don't know if everyone should get a windfall because of the ban mistake, but it does seem some players are being left out of the planned compensation.

    Exactly. I do not seek to have the same compensation as the players who got banned, but maybe something that can show they care about the community would work or something close to what they’re getting.

    Did all 9 players get unbanned before the 7 day ban?

    pretty sure they mentioned that 10k players who banned and a good majority of them were innocent

    And I quote
    “On June 6, we banned over 10,000 accounts that, according to our systems, were not running officially-distributed MCoC clients. As reports rolled in of innocent Summoners being banned, we investigated cases and determined that there were what appeared to be a group of false positive accounts caught in the net.”

    10k weren't unbanned genius.

    Majority of the 10k were using unofficial mcoc app

    Only a minority were wrongfully banned actually

    They did say that some of the people getting unbanned were true positives so if you really wanted to make an argument for global compensation you could try and use that.

    Yeah sure false positive bans with android blahbettyblahblahs. Of course there are false positives. They can't even ban that guy from the forums 😤

    There were a small number of false positives. Not all 10k.

    So you lost enough wars in a row in a week to drop 2 levels? Takes us a whole season to move up or down a level. Crazy.

    On reg season probably dif, not sure about leaving almost 1 BG untouched in this war format.

    Did the compensation get given for the banned players ? I was banned but didn't get anything.

    In the mail I got they said comp will be next week but not sure if they changed anything in the stream

    Pretty sure its for banned players that got their ban lifted earlier.

    Imagine the ones with 30 day bans thinking they will get compensation x4

    This is mega compensation for those who were banned. But nobody would farm that much in a week. So, good players, those who were not banned, are in disadvantage to unbanned ones. Is this fair?
    I started the BG season very low in VT due to Kabam bug and still climb to GC. Where is my compensation? I am in vacation now and do not have additional time to play. I probably will not receive Radiance from all 3 objectives. And this was kabam fault that was not compensated. And, voila, those who were banned receive radiance equal to 3 BG objectives for free. WTF?
