Punishing Entire Alliance:- is that fair gameplay?

This sort of thing is what kills online games though and does need to be seriously addressed. At one point RS was roughly 60% bots and to get that number down the owners had to invest some serious money in coders to upgrade their detection systems and having active monitoring in game. With a mobile game it's probably a bit more challenging but it's something that needs serious consideration.

If there was a permanent title that could be given to players that would help with recruitment but ultimately I'd like to think that some players would change after being burnt the first time.
Kabam can do this banwave mid season and help out.
PS I wasnt affected by this, but had to call out stupid suggestions when I see it.
Yes. It's fair to punish the entire team. You got Wins you didn't deserve which includes Shards and War Victory Crystals.
Those resources are not being taken back which you should be LUCKY Kabam isn't doing that - it would probably be a nightmare to track anyway.
Lick your wounds, replace the bad apples, move on and find ways suggested here by many as ways to check on people you newly recruit to ensure they are not shady. All you can do for now.
On one hand it isn't fair towards other alliances. They lost their rewards because of your members cheating, and you got up using partially unfair methods (because the cheaters pushed alliance up)
On the other hand this is "just" a game, not a full time job, so it must be hard for leaders to manage even placement and battlegroups, and watching&checking 150+ fights each war is time consuming (even for more people), and it feels like you just can't expect 30 players to record every fight of every war and then analyze it.
So this is kind of a moral struggle, but the probably best solution is really to drag you all down equally. It is surely the simplest one
First offense: flag the account for a month
Second offense: flag account for six months
Third offense: perm ban
Or even better
First offense: flag account for 3 months
Second offense: perm ban
If you do not penalize the entire alliance for one person (or a group) modding, then there will be no one to stop someone from buying a separate phone, download a mod on that phone, run 9 mod accounts in the same alliance to take out 9 paths + all minis + bosses, and getting undeserved rewards for his/her main account.
I just make sure I have a video of that guy’s play when recruiting him. And we will wanna see screenshots of hits etc in the fight end screen. It’s as simple as that. Also, if that person is dying too frequently in AQ or has diverse performances in different aspects of the game, it has to be a red flag.
Once that red flag is raised, then ask for video footage of that guy’s play in war, no excuses.
Also, my 330k arena fights were culminated across 4-5 years (at the very least). No issue grinding while watching television at night.
Its not possible for us to tell weather the guy we recruit is a cheat or not
It's fine if u ban the cheaters account rather than punishing whole alliance cause it's unintentional
I remember a while back (like 10-15 seasons ago) my alliance received a point deduction but nobody was banned, so we had no way to track down what had caused it.
At least this way you can tell who it was, and you know the 28 you have left were playing cleanly. Replace the two bad seeds and move on.
Since you posted here i'd assume you're in a high prestige Platinum or Master ally and maybe an officer. You guys wanna keep your prestige high without compromising on rewards that comes from cheating.? Really? An officer can't be that blind that he has no clue what's going in in his ally( that coming from an officer himself).
But your suggestion to watch recordings of fights every war, as have said a few others, is kind of stupid, when we see how much stuff has to be done in game, and other leader/officer responsibilities. It is a game, not work. Watching recordings is not a solution. You recruit based on their word, and recordings you can see, nothing more.
My suggestion would be to do this banwave midseason so alliances can kick and re recruit. This ensures they know they do not have to burn as many items for a ranking they may not be able to possess due to docking.
I do wish though we had some indication of what the violation was, and to a lesser extent, who. You don't even know how many members violated the TOS. We're essentially forced to make decisions without complete information.
This has long been the action taken, and it is a responsibility of every Summoner to ensure that they are not unbalancing the game by using these kinds of Modifications, but it is also the role of leadership to ensure that they stress these things with their Alliance members, and are able to trust them.
If you require individual attention to your case, reach out to our support team. We do not discuss actions taken on Alliances or individual accounts in the Forums.
