Negative units a simple yet effective way of shutting a player down

So we all heard of the bans because of the exploit although they abused the exploit instead of banning them kabam should have given them 1k negative units for each run after the first one. Without units you are basically screwed if you need revives as the only way to get your normal units back would be through paying for negative units. which costs real money so kabam make money from the people that exploited the glitch. Im not saying to do it right now since the deed has been done but in the future that could be a possible option instead of banning people.

    Negative units should only be used for chargebacks. They didn't exploit units at all, so there is no reason to have the ban effect them.

    Two people I saw posting on forums elsewhere ran the quest several times, went through the deadpool chest, and gained 1000+ units because of the crystals that come with the "mouth"...

    Units were definitely also a part of the exploit, is what I'm saying.

    It’s a much fairer way that doesn’t affect the entire alliance, even if it’s harsher at least it doesn’t affect others, it’s a much higher better solution

    Or they could just take the extra rewards and leave it at that

    Or that, and just put out a definitive warning

    Hardly punishment for whales who would just spend to get back to neutral units. Also your method would potentially leave players feeling the repercussions of the punishment for months, rather than the single week they’re dealing with now.

    A ban from playing the game is more than suitable.
