@SpideyFunko can you at least acknowledge that what you did was wrong? And attacking @Kabam Miike who gets a ton of rubbish from people like you daily is unnecessary. I do sympathise with you to a point but you knew it was a bug and so the action was taken, serves you right tbh.
That’s literally like putting the blame on someone else because you’re not strong enough to take it yourself. Just remove the goddamn extra rewards off everyone’s accounts. It was your bug. Take responsibility for it and fix it.
Kabam one of your employees literally said on the side event quest thread that you could go back on that path after you went on it the first time and unlocked it with a key. Your lack of communication is a MASSIVE issue and has caused all these bans to happen. It is YOUR bug, so instead of fixing it, you went ahead and banned thousands of players for going back on that open path that we were told you could go back on. Why are you banning people for a week AND removing their rewards? Just remove their rewards. It’s your fault the bug existed. The rewards SHOULD be removed 100% but a 1 week ban is SO unjust. That affects alliances and many other things in game, and it all originated from your bug. Just remove the rewards! We all agree with that! No need to ban! That’s way too compromising!
Oh, my bad @SpideyFunko I thought you said earlier you had been banned and that Go Off, well let’s leave to I think you made a typo 😂but I apologise profusely for my error.
I still believe this is not a bug but an oversight where a quirky way to get rewards has backfired on kabam as chests have always gone back on completed paths in events where chests are available be it with iso or catalysts and still are available in today’s daily quests.

That is completely out of context and taking some huge liberties in the explanation. The path remains open, yes, but that doesn't mean that you can get the rewards again. The Path remained open so that if you fail to complete the path, you can try it again, and so that you don't make a mistake and take a path where there is no rewards, wasting a key.

Answer me this.. U can ban them indeed, but what about the alliances that they are in? How all of those alliances find replacements? After this a lot of alliances will searching for recruits, not all of them will
And what if couple ppl got banned for their mistake of judgment? Does that mean that they have to be kicked for this?.. Or do alliances have to find a replacement and kick them after a week when the original members come back
I didn't get banned,neither I want to discuss if they should be banned or not. Not my decision.. But this affect a lot of ppl that done no harm, aside those that actually exploit the ban

An oversight is a bug, in fact in its default nature all bugs are oversights.
@Kabam Miike I completely understand removing the rewards from all the accounts who exploited the bug. But what’s banning them gonna do?? It was your goddamn bug. Take responsibility for it at least, apologize, and fix it. And remove all the excess rewards. Banning people does WAY more harm than good for an issue that you guys caused because of a problem in YOUR servers. This affects entire alliances. Let that sink in.
Keep going. Haven't tried enough yet. You'll get there.

What a joke! WHAT was the true purpose of even leaving the path open to begin with? Why even have it out there. You left the T2A icons out in 6.3, so if we explored it again and got the t2a that violates terms of service? Yet if we ran that path and DIDNT get it, even though it clearly shows them on the path, tough luck, its a glitch? Please explain the difference.
So, 168hrs/7 days ban for all who abused it or people who did it like 2times are exempted?
If you only did it twice yes you are exempt the people who did it multiple times are getting punished
Lol I didnt do it..
Was jus thinking that Someone who exploited 6* shards more than 3 times are still good to get 5k 6* shards from summoner appreciation calendar.. and are not really losing 1400 shards from last week calendar either as they might have gotten more 6* shards already..
Lol players do something stupid and reckless that an potentially affect them and their alliance but Kabam is who's punishing alliances. These justifications just get better and better. Keep them coming guys

If you had read his post he answered your question in it, it was left open so that you can retry if you fail without needing another key.

Leave them alone for now, you can bug them tomorrow. We're most likely going to get a compensation for the delay in the side quest and the banning on teammate that can help you get rewards. So be happy the they produced a free game you dont have to spend a dime to play it, if its a free game expect bugs and micro transactions. We don't know if they are Rich, Poor, Barely getting by, or have average amount of money. They try there best, to some there best is enough for them, but to some getting to play a free game is enough.
It's a lazy response on kabams part. Shows how embarrassed they are at their major mistake. Push it off on the players. If it's part of the game, it isn't cheating. If it was an outside exploit or application then ya, cheating. If it's part of the game it's a bug, and they should fix it and take away the farmed rewards. But a 7 day ban is excessive, gonna lose money on this for sure.

You dont have much experience playing MMOs do you? If you exploit a bug you tend to get banned.
The week ban seems excessive for people who didn't egregiously exploit this, I've heard people say (not vouching for their honesty) they did the quest just twice and still got the same week ban. I completely agree the ill gotten gains should have been removed but I also believe the bans should have been reserved for those who truly deserved it, the ones who just treated it as open season. I don't think the bans should differentiate on the specific rewards though, someone who did the gold path 10 times should get the same treatment as someone who got 10 AGs. Bottom line is these people knew full well this wasn't the intent of the quest but spammed it anyway.
I obviously have no say in any of this but hopefully they'll reconsider the bans on the people who did the path 3 times or less since more than likely they had every opportunity to keep going but chose not to. Whether the extra run was an honest misunderstanding of the quest itself or not the fact is they chose (presumably) not to egregiously exploit it and for that they shouldn't be hit with the same ban as those who did. Maybe a 24 ban as a firm warning and leave it at that. Regardless what else happens I'm glad they didn’t let these exploited rewards stand which would've been the easiest thing for them to do while at the same time i can sympathize with those hit with a ban not quite in line with their participation in the exploit.
They are getting rid of all extra rewards caused by this bug.
Whoever got 7 day bans should not be able to see the side quest for the rest of the month. The punishment didn't go far enough!
Actually it would be better if they could see it, but they wouldn't see any of the special objectives to get keys. A constant reminder of what cheating gets you
Those of y'all who are taunting people for getting banned better not've forced quit out of a fight to save a revive, or any other exploit because then it's just hypocrisy.
Or disconnect when you're almost dead in AW and AQ only to come back at half-health
It's clear the vast majority of players knew this was bugged and exploited it. Normally I'd have little to no sympathy for those that have been banned but this time I do. For too long now quality control of this game has been appalling. So many bugs, connection and performance issues etc. There are problems with almost every new update and event. Of course nearly all games suffer from the odd glitch but this game has been suffering from too many for a while now. For me the bans seem harsh and makes it look like there is no accountability on Kabam's side. The priority should be to get their house in order and stabilise the game.
