My assumption is that once you’ve done the work you need to do, there’ll be a wave of removals for people who you’ve caught modding. Will they have rewards removed? Will those who placed lower than they should have the difference between their current tier and their deserved tier?
I know these aren’t necessarily questions you can answer right now, just concerns to bear in mind.
Last thing, do you know if there are any plans to tell us who got banned? Usually Kabam refuse to confirm players who are banned, but you saying “we can tell you, but without showing…” to me, hints you may be considering telling us. Or have I got the wrong end of the stick there?
Same thing with allys who are constantly docked you must kick off the alliance and show us some dignity!
We're getting older waiting for some of that.
Thx
As far as I know we’ve never seen any comms about what happens to players who have played cheaters and had wasted resources. They need to be compensated or if not, cheaters investigated and banned within 2 days so they are not draining resources throughout a season. It’s not fair to players.
Why should we play a game that's full of cheaters? What's the point?
It's no secret that the Battlegrounds Season had already been over for a couple days. How long were you planning on waiting before reviewing the results?
Original information could have benefited from a simple line saying something to the effect of: "Season rewards will take approximately 1 week to distribute after the season ends to allow sufficient time to vet for cheaters."
I was in place 360 in the last 6hrs and thought maybe I'll go up slightly due to modders being banned. Nope, instead I got knocked down 40 places and all the modders remained. Super lame result to wake up to as most of the top of the leader board were modders.
This is hard to swallow specially since this has happened in the past with other game modes and it’s not something that could not be anticipated
We had players that were reported in beta and they were still on the leaderboard at the end of season
Also we don’t have the leaderboard to look at but we know people’s standings on leaderboard didn’t change at all with what we had few minutes before game mode was taken down.
A long while ago I attempted to make this case directly to Kabam. I can't share those communications, but here's what I can say:
1. At the time, I was communicating through Adora. It was that long ago.
2. I was eventually put indirectly in touch with the decision makers for this specific decision.
3. Those decision makers were Kabam's legal staff.
4. The gist of what I was eventually told was that this decision was based on legal reasoning, this decision was final, and if I wanted to argue the point further I would need to come back after I had passed the bar.
The devs hands are tied. The producers hands are tied. Arguably, even the president of the company's hands are tied. No argument will work on any person you can reach via the forums. And even if you could somehow find and discuss this with the lawyers, good luck arguing with a corporate attorney.
We can ask for the cheaters to be removed from leaderboards. We cannot ask for a list of detected cheaters. I mean, we can ask, but the answer will be no. Not because they don't want to do it, but because they are barred from doing it by a directive that has no avenue to be appealed.
Every once in a while I ask about this, just to see if things have changed. As far as I'm aware, things have not changed.
I'm saying this as someone that can, because I'm pretty sure neither the developers nor the moderators themselves are allowed to specify the internals of decision making. In this one case I'm willing to say what I know, because a) I was not told this by the developers in any specific confidence (I'm only respecting the confidentiality of all private conversations I have, be they with other players or Kabam employees), and b) its only lawyers I'm throwing under the bus: Its not like I'm hurting actual people, and c) I already said a version of this long ago when I originally did all of this, but it has been long enough that I think no one remembers anymore.
If Kabam are saying that can’t do this, well I guess the only real option is it’s time for you to start studying for the Bar exam.
