This is my first post so, hey all
Back in the day, Kabam banned those players who abused the gifting system by creating dummy accounts to gain advantage over other players. This was considered as an "unintended exploitative behaviour" even though the game technically allowed you to exploit it. This shows that Kabam punishes people who abuse the system to gain advantage in any way, which is good in my point of view.
Same goes for battlegrounds pausing. Game allows you to do it, but it is not intended. You are expected to be playing the match, not stall it. Allowing this ruins the gameplay, fun, sportsmanship, and to be fair; it punishes people who play the game in accordance with sportsmanship. Especially in this meta, people with the lack of a good roster and proper counters are going wild ,even in higher tiers to get rewards.
I remember there was a discussion about it, sth like going in to mainscreen or pausing is considered same behaviour by game client or the operating system, whatever. It is logical to limit the BG pause to 15 secs. as many players suggested already.
I think Kabam officials should send a message both in-game and in forums if this is considered cheating or a reason to get banned. I tried to search the forums about an official statement from Kabam and failed to find it. Apologies if there is already a statement, I would appreciate if anyone shares a link to it.
Ps : For those who believe that exploting, abusing or in an other worda, being a total jacka.. is being smart or strategic is just pathetic. I am personally winning over those people so keep your "get good" comments to yourself. I am just so bothered to see people trying to be smart by doing it and prefer those people to be punished and gotten rid of for a much more fair playerbase.
