    Yes, it seemed like a great way to get shards before it was fixed. What actually went through my mind was: I better grind as many of these as I can if I want to stay a top level player.

    Poor judgement for a top level player! Play Plat 1 and our leader made sure we didn't exploit it. If you've played the game long enough you should have known you couldn't get away with it. On the bright side... Enjoy your week off 😂

    OK. So alot of people here are saying that they didn't know that it was a bug or something. Are you dumb? It was very obviously a bug. Banning the players was a bad play on Kabam's part, but don't go running around the forums screaming you didn't know. Cuz everyone knows you knew. An alliance mate got banned for this and he knew 100% this was a bug. You can complain about Kabam's chose of banning was unfair, but don't say you didn't know. Cuz you knew

    Comparing this to stealing is ridiculous. The first run didn’t cost money. You’re playing a game, if it lets you do something without hacking then you’ve played within the parameters that the maker put out. If Kabam didn’t want it to happen then they should test their product better. All they’re doing with this is crushing alliance members for war in the middle of a season. I wasn’t around to play, my account wasn’t affected except for losing teammates. This kangaroo court is shenanigans.

    Whether the game allows it or not doesn't matter. It was a CLEAR exploit. And by playing the game you agree to follow the TOS which states your account can be punished for such things. Tell your alliance mates to stop cheating.
    I’m pretty sure the terms of service don’t state if you can do something on a new quest, don’t do it. It’s called treasure island, go get that treasure. Again, if the game freely allow you to do something then you’re playing within the parameters of the game I.e. not cheating.

    As I recall, Kabam stated that they had not meant for the corvus incursion's trick to work as it did since it allowed you to get through hella rooms. Lagacy knew this and still did it in his livestreams, no ban there. I will accept the ban as I did get extra sigs but I just wish I had known it was against ToS. Hopefully Kabam can do some better testing on their servers before releasing new content, and I definitely won't be going anywhere near a bug again which I see is the intended effect of the ban lol.

    Kabam this legitimately makes me sad. I am a throne breaker, I spend money on this game monthly, but I’m not going to put up with this. You’ve been moving in the right direction, but I am no longer going to continue on this painstaking roller coaster with you. You will be missed. Goodbye.

    So because you are a throne breaker you should be allowed to cheat? Grow up.

    168hrs for 10, 12, 15 AG's or few k units is nothing.
    Still... LOL :P

    Actually Kabam is removing all the extra items so...
    What about the people that used some? I know people that got 5 or 6 awakening gems and used then knowing Kabam screwed up. Will they roll back the champs as well?
    Pretty sure no one was getting 6* awakening gems as that isn't one of the items obtainable from this SQ..
    5 or 6 in quantity. Not star level

    I only got gold 3 times (~1.8mill ) and i was banned a week :'(

    good
    C'mon man. 1.8 m good although high, does not deserve a week long ban. Especially since they'll take it away anyways
    Youre right. They need longer.

    Ok, hear me out before ya'll get pre-annoyed and let me explain a personal take on this.
    I got the key and entered the quest.
    As usual, I took a look around and seen as I had my best champs free from AQ I decided to take the closest path to the start that I felt least comfy with which was the Thing/Kingpin path. That was sigstones, 100% meh for me, I have 100s in my stash.
    I am by far from a hugely skilled player so that path gave me a pretty good challenge and the Weapon X boss saw me use some resorces to get through, I know, like I said, not the best player.
    After I'd completed it I thought I'd go back in and look at how many other 4* chests there were to see how risky it was going to be to chance futer keys on that kinda reward if I was going to have to fight Weapon X every time,I really didn't wana get sig stones again so was considering chosing a key difficulty down for the next day.

    I saw the gate had stayed unlocked and I was pleased because it meant I could get practise on those fights without having to worry about using energy or loosing out on anything, happy days.
    I managed to do the 3 fights and got to the boss but it wasn't Weapon X this time which I was actually a lil annoyed about as I was looking forward to the practise.
    I finished Wolverine and oh, more sig stones, still don't need them, but, that's pretty cool they're doing that.
    I wondered if the boss would be Weapon X next time so went back in to practise on Thing, Kingpin and Weapon X, but, again, it wasn't Weapon X (but I did get a kicking from Thing this time lol) but there were more sig stones.
    As far as I was concerned, I was outa my depth for the most part but I assumed the miniscule reward of sigstones was just what you would get for getting through that kind of content.

    Now, at no point were we told that this was not intended untill the quest was removed and I came here to see why it had gone.
    It was a mistake on Kabams part and to punish a genuine mistake with a 7 day ban is SO overkill it's stupid.

    A 7 day ban equates to:
    *Loss of the end of the Summoner Apreciation log in calander.
    *Loss of AQ rewards that just finished.
    *Loss of a full AQ and all rewards associated with that.
    *Loss of the AW that just started.
    *Loss of 7 keys for the monthly side event.
    *Loss of 7 days worth of energy towards EQ.
    *Loss of a paid for Sigil and all associated benefits.
    *Loss of Summoner Advancement rewards that had just finished.
    *Loss of the whole alliance in the current AW.
    And more.
    All that for a mistake that was not on my part.
    I've spent money on this and years of time and now I'm facing losing all that, as well as my place in my alliance because of some sig stones!
    I understand there has been people braghing about forming 6*s and posting pictures of Awakening Gems which is obviously an explotation but I did this with no intention of 'breaking the terms of service' yet everyone is being treated as if everyone of us stood to gain MASSIVELY from something we absolutely knew was not intended which just is not the case.

    For the people that bragged and chose to exploit it, I get it, people are annoyed and Kabam want to make an example but to treat everyone the same is not fair at all.
    I would happily have those 'rewards' of sigstones taken back and be able to run the path over and over with no rewards, I just liked the practise fighting those champs with those health pools, and, Weapon X!

    But, for wanting to practise, all the above will be lost.

    But it was stated that you could only get rewards once per path per key. You can check the Side Quest thread to see for yourself.

    i agree, i can understand banning people who exploited massively but running it 2 or 3 times for practice or for not realizing doesn’t deserve a one week ban, like at that point just remove the rewards instead slapping a week ban on someone with innocent motives

    Kabam need to change itself before make decisions as tonight or make events one way, one reward, and close event.

    It seems other ideas is a way to loose players ans to hard top launch by devs (and recognize the internal mistake).

    Don't forger that messages can ne deleted without opening and don't seems to be contractuals.
