Modding in AW

We all know there are players and whole allies that use 3rd party software to mod the game so they can win fights in AW. This is disgusting. Players that have played for years investing time and money to play the game the right way with honor and integrity are getting the short end of the stick. The integrity of AW is in jeopardy. So instead of just complaining to Kabam. I’m going to make a suggestion. Kabam please make AW fights viewable by all members that are competing in the same AW. To me this is the only way to once and for all squash modding/cheating. If I view a fight and see the unreal damage being done in a AW fight then I can record it and submit it to Kabam. I’m tired of reporting cheaters with just screenshots and then a investigation that takes time with no outcome or reversal. If I were able to view the opponents fight in game and capture video evidence of modding then investigations wouldn’t be so drawn out and cumbersome. Instead video evidence would capture the cheater with their hand in the cookie jar. If Kabam doesn’t want to police the community for cheaters in a timely and efficient way then the community can police itself. By making fights viewable in game it would allow the community to police itself and submit factual evidence of cheating to Kabam. Reducing the time of investigations and punishment dealt. We need to eradicate modding from MCOC as a community. I believe viewable fights would be the best and most efficient way of getting rid of modding once and for all.

FYI this thread WILL get closed but what you are suggesting will never happening. Only thing you can do is keep reporting. They aren't ever going to tell you the outcome. If nothing happens to a player, Kabam didn't find anything wrong. You more than likely got bested by a better team. Take it and move on. It's nearly impossible to track piloting. You don't know whos on the other side. People get banned for 3rd party software all the time because it's something they can see due to modded game files. Kabam will never comment on cheating or any actions taken against other players. Stop asking.
Not sure why you would tag MODs to this post. It's only going to shut it down quicker. Report the players and let Kabam do the rest. End of story.
Typically when you ask a question it’s because you are looking for an answer. I was addressing my question to a particular audience.
Mods dont comment on what is being done about cheat. Use the search bar and see all the closed threads on this topic.
So tell me how easy it is to prevent hacking? You think Kabam has a button they can press to stop it? Think of this issue like a game of wack-a-mole. They code to prevent "hack A" then "hack B" pops up.
Where would they store these recordings? Oh severs you say. Yeah cause no one has complaints about the current ones they use. What happens if videos dont load or cant get viewed in time? What happens if YOU think its cheat and you report it and then nothing happeens? Oh yeah, thats why you posted. The circle is never ending. That's why Kabam doesnt comment on cheating.
The problem is really your mindset. You think a node should get a kill or assume because they have full health after a fight then its cheating. Kabam has ways of seeing moded game files. If they are using known hacks, they will het caught. Remember, just because YOU cant do it, doesnt mean someine else cant.
Report the suspicious behavior. No use in complaining about it here. Does you no good.
Ever think they didnt use hacks? How is it you are 100%, without a shadow of a doubt positive they cheated? I'm not saying people dont cheat but if youve been on these forums, there are sooooo many posts about being unbanned. And those are just people we can see. They do take action. You just dont see or hear what actually happens.
Have had the same thing happen here. Have even had the other alliance explain what they're doing and laugh about it. Had screenshots of everything and watched the alliance for a long time after. Nothing has been done at all. They continue to play, continue to hold their rank, continue to keep honest players from receiving the rewards they deserve. Sending tickets does nothing.
No way a 4/40 4* champ is going to take down a r4 5* mini boss in 20 seconds and take zero health loss. Show me the video of the player fighting and I’ll believe it. No way this was done without using a cheat or modification. Tickets have been submitted. The purpose of this post is to gauge community sentiment and gather feedback from others that might have experienced similar situations with the hopes that Kabam will assure us that they are looking into it and will take appropriate action.
That would require more server space. What happens when you cant "live look in"? Again, the cricle keeps going. The current system is fine. People just need to accept that its not cheat sometimes. Keep in mind, i fully believe peoppe cheat but i also know that people try to find excuses for losing.
A mod app, mustbe have a different signature if not mistakes.
If kabam can filters that, they can caught who's using mods and banned them.
While I understand your perspective, albeit one sided, my understanding of the suggestion made by @Krotch_Rocket666 was to make all matches viewable to all players in Alliance Wars in order to bring about more transparency and to implement a system of checks and balances for the MCOC community. This sort of a shift would likely not be taken by the Kabam Game team alone, but rather with the implementation of a third party eSports viewing platform that could tie into the existing MCOC API, and be broadcast to the community through existing services such as Toornament or Skillz. This sort of a paradigm shift would not enable mods or cheats to be used in the game because the entire community could watch and follow along. I believe that transparency is needed in the game and being able to view others fighting would be one way to approach solving that issue.
To say it was disappointing and disheartening is an understatement. Kabam support was very receptive and endured us this particular alliance is already being investigated, but it's really frustrating that the entire war completed without them being banned. Why can't they just disable their login? Especially in this particular instance where it's 100% without a shadow of a doubt cheating. There is no argument, there is no possibility. This isn't the "hey these guys took down our NC boss with a node up!".
This was "I bring in a 2/35 carnage to bleed/spite node with Magik and he comes out of the fight with 100% health. That was just ONE of the various examples over the last 24 hours. All 3 R4 bosses were taken out within 15 seconds including a duped R4 Morningstar where a unduped DV was used. He would have bled out within 15 seconds. Half my alliance doesn't even care about war anymore because of it.
Very disappointed in Kabam for not doing anything yet about this particular alliance who ADMITTED to using mods and had almost a week of reports to ban them. Now they're most likely going on to the next war, sorry to whoever matches up with them.
Cheating in this game is completely pointless though. You have nothing to gain by doing so. how is blasting someone in one hit fun? it sounds like a big waste of time
Well for this one particular alliance they have a lot to gain - platinum 3 rewards at the end of the season.
