So define fry, because they take their own actions into account. Which is one of the reasons they don't discuss them, most likely. It leads to situations like this where people feel it should be more/less. Apparently they felt removal from the Program was sufficient enough, which is not uncommon when you have an honest working relationship at times. You can find that anywhere you go in life. Having a history yields a certain amount of leeway with these things. Had it been a prolonged occurrence, or had he not been honest, it might have gone the other way. Who knows? It's their call. It certainly wasn't ignored, or else they wouldn't have said anything at all.
Nope. If there's leeway when it comes to account sharing then Kabam are breaking their own ToS. Again, because he's a spender.
Account sharers should be banned - no matter who it is or what their history with Kabam is.
What specific term of the TOS do you believe Kabam is breaking? Because I can find no specific statement that binds them to inflicting a specific punishment for any specific offense. The only statement I can find anywhere regarding what their response to a violation of terms of service will be is this one: "If you break our terms of service, action will be taken against your account."
You seem to have a very specific idea about how the world should work. However, that idea is not how the vast majority of people who operate video games, or for that matter how all people in general, believe the world should work. When you break someone else's rules within their sphere of influence, they generally have a lot of discretion as to how to deal with you. Your belief that they should be bound to a specific response in all cases isn't reflected in most parts of all of existence.
Blah blah blah too many words I can't be bothered reading. You seem to have a very specific ability to write way too many words in the most boring way imaginable.
You're wrong.
Good job. Keep it up 😀
Except for this remark, I've disagreed with all your comments on this thread. A quote: 'Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful.'
"A cheaters punishment is to live a life of mistrust because they live in constant fear that the person that cheated with them will also cheat on them. Some call it poetic justice, but I call it karma."
that would be someone that played by the rules taking spoils, and someone that cheated not getting spoils
No, it would be double retribution. They can't reasonably assume you would have won, and if they're removing War Rating AND Points, people will also be going up in positions, from doing the right thing. What the suggestion would result in is benefitting from someone else's mistakes. A bit greedy, IMO.
It shouldn't matter. You should't be able to cheat and get a victory. If you cheat in any way you should lose. The team that didn't cheat should be given the win by default.
Weather or not a team would have lost had the cheating team not cheated is immaterial, because they cheated.
If they're not keeping the Points or the Rating, then that's not a victory. What you're saying is they should give you the Rewards by default because they cheated, and remove spoils on top of that. Whether you would win or not is not irrelevant. You only deserve Rewards if you win and win fairly. Either way you spell it out, it's benefitting from someone else breaking the rules.
Huh? You can't win fairly if someone is cheating. You understand this right?
They also can't assume you would have won whether they played fairly or not. They're removing Rating and Points, which means the people playing by the rules will rise in standings. That's enough. Anything on top of that is just creating an equally-unfair situation.
They don't have to assume you would've won. When the winner is disqualified in practically everything the next participant is awarded the victory not based on an assumption of what would have happened but because they were the next best after the disqualified party. It's not hard.
You can't win by default, that's what I'm saying. You have to earn the Win the same. People are expecting an easy Win because the other Team cheated. If an Ally ended up with Master Rewards because they encountered enough cheating Allies, you'd never hear the end of it. Lol. Besides, it's equally-unfair. What they're doing now is enough.
No, it isn't. So many wars come down to a few attack bonus points. It's not just that the team that was facing the cheaters and lose don't get awarded a victory, they lose war rating and potentially drop to a lower multiplier due to an unfair match. Punishing the cheater is good it's not enough.
I agree. Most of the reports go nowhere. We've reported several alliances and had video. It goes nowhere. So frustrating and nothing gets done. I don't even report them anymore. It's a waste of time.

My alliance recently had war points restored for an AW matchup where our opponents clearly modded/hacked our defense. Not always a waste of time. I think now with how many piloting tickets are being submitted customer support has their hands full, alliance mates have received responses that they are not able to submit more tickets because they have they have reached their max limit.
