We know that the bug was from Wednesday's update, and was detected after 24 hours. I understand that there will be a reset for everyone? and people who have devoted resources to doing so will not get banned? because of your mistakes.

First, I go read the nodes or champ descriptions. That can often refresh me on interactions/mechanics that I have forgotten.
Then, if that does not resolve my confusion, I go to the Forums to see if this has already been addressed. I use the search bar, then I'll even post and ask about it. If I found a great new aspect of the game, then awesome. If I just discovered a bug, I sit and wait to see how Kabam will handle it, then adjust my gameplay accordingly.
What about try hards like MSD who just like to repeat content over and over who done another run of gauntlet?
What about content creators who may of ran gauntlet again to make videos?
Gauntlet had already reset once before legitimately, which will only further add to the confusion and a bunch of people stating that was their reason to re-run it (whether they're being sincere or not).
I think the fairest thing to do would be to "reset it for everyone" and let people do it another time. This isn't like Labrynth where an extra set of rewards is barely worth the energy spent... and would give a competitive edge to players who just were "lucky enough".
The alternative would be to just give the rewards to players who previously did it more than a few days ago / then were reset, because the "could have" (I have enough revives in overflow / and even sold some that I would have if it reset for me and I thought the rewards might stay).
That said, I hope there is an easy way to deal with this. First it was millions in loyalty, then this... its really creating some imbalance
What I think is going to happen is people who did it again will keep rewards because they didn’t do anything but play the content Kabam allowed them to and Kabam will shut down the quest for those who haven’t fixing the exploration for those who done it
If they were going to ban or take rewards why not just say that to keep people from doing it feels like what they are doing is trying to make people unsure if they should do it just to prevent more from doing so so less have the extra rewards
Only way anyone truly may not have known are the people who had revives expiring and was like “hmm maybe I’ll do a practice run through gauntlet to get rid of these and try some things out”…..but I imagine that is about 0.1% of people who did gauntlet after the reset.
An unknown error has resulted in Grandmaster Gauntlet progress being reset for a portion of our playerbase; this was not intentional. While the team works to uncover why this happened, we will be temporarily removing the Grandmaster Gauntlet as a playable mode. This is to prevent players exploiting the error as an opportunity to double up on these rewards. The mode will be reinstated when the team has resolved the issues.
It's also important to point out that it's very unlikely anyone's account would be banned for this.
This situation is also a great time to remind people that chasing the mods around the forum and asking the same question in multiple unrelated threads is probably not the way to get the information you want.
