Interesting side note to this that isn't being discussed but probably should be since a lot of people who aren't in the predicament of having an account not at level 40 yet don't think this affects them at all. It indirectly affects every single persons placing in the solo gifting event as each and every single one of these accounts that can't participate now lowers the number of people in the % calculation for your rewards. As a whole lot of these accounts will be gifting consumables and not opening crystals they likely wouldn't be scoring extremely high either so would increase the average players % ranking.
Actually if competitive FTP players think about this they will have to atleast grind more and buy more GBC to over compensate the score these legit alt accounts will bring, so i think kabam should definitely find a middle ground for the problems they have caused, otherwise FTP paragon like me is cool with spending 4-5k units worth of items and scoring a Lil bit higher possibly and not feel threatened by alt accounts who would have grinded 5k units range. this problem is this will blow up out of proportion for sure if they don't FIX it, it's Last Gifting event anyway by kabams on admition and they also knew players have alt accounts so they kept the gifting of perishable items a thing, now with the level 40 requirements SUDDENLY becoming a "HAVE TO" factor is gonna come back and bite them in the tush. This after DeadPool gold offers take down will be final nail in the coffin for some.

I get your point and think you are right. But it doesn't change the fact that Kabam made a 180 turn on this even after being specifically asked if the requirements were correct. If Kabam didn't want too many players being able to gift and score on the solo/alliance event - fair enough - it should just have been stated as an AND-requirement from the beginning. I know this isn't something that affects a lot of players, but its revealing to see how Kabam reacts when they've mad a clear mistake and changed something after the event went live. Had the change come just 1-2 days prior, people wouldn't be this disappointed.
Forgot to put in a line of code, or a wrong line of code. Let's throw @Kabam Miike and the other forum mods under the bus and let them tell us they made a mistake. Please to all of my fellow forum members. Do not blame these guys. It is not their fault. They are just the front line and recieve all the BS.
You've made a mistake but you should honour it. It stated 'or' in the original post and Jax confirmed this on December 1 replying to @King363672. The community does not believe that you cannot remedy this - you saying that you can't give out temporary gifting badges, you can't give out XP boosts. Think outside of the box.
I don't think you quite understand the implications this will cause - why should the community ever trust what you say again?
So if I waste my time leveling up to 40 after being told I didn't need to be am I going to get the full calendar of accolades? I think I know the answer, but thought I'd put it out there. How about you send out a huge XP boost that last for 7 days, similar to the one you get when starting the game? At least do something to make it up to the player willing to grind out levels.
Not impacted by this but feel for those impacted. People have been waiting for this and won't get another opportunity to utilise the event as its the last one.
Kabam mistake but not sure of the solution. No point giving impacted accounts 10/20/50 GBC because they likely want to gift their main accounts.
So after investing hours into another account for gifting you change the gifting event so we can only gift consumables? Ok fine we need to stop the abuse. Now the day the event opens you tell us that these accounts we have been expecting to use for the last gifting event need to be both conquer and level 40. Do you guys realize how much time and energy refills need to be used to level up 9-10 levels to reach that? The units that will be wasted to reach that? Your mistake and the player base is punished. This is bad business and I really hope the players affected close their wallets to you guys. It's bad business not to honor what was promised. Your typo not our mistake. Make this right for your playerbase kabam.

Posed a question sumilar to this in the main banquet thread. Hopefully they see it and find a solution for the accolade thing since everyone affected by the situation has now missed at least one day and the final reward.

This has got to be the biggest mistake from Kabam with so many confirmations players asked for ahead of time and now this mess. Ya’ll need to have a team meeting on communication from all teams.
Level 40 is harder to get than people think. I grinded for 2-3 hours with a 50% boost with max xp mastery, using 15+ Full energy refills and gained around 2.75 levels from 32-34. It takes a LOT of time
@Toasty really stinks but make sure you are using your energy in the quests that yield the most XP per fight. The Daily quests & Act 5 give most XP for your energy. Do NOT waste your energy on Monthly EQ. For whatever reason Monthly Event Quests have always yielded pitifully small amounts of XP compared to other quests for the energy spent. Best of luck 🤘🏼
It's a shame they can't change it to level 30 or 35 after their miscommunication
They can do so many things, They choose NOT TO. They can overnight think to nerf Hood without any complain because they been seeing youtubers using him in BG (like me). They stop player friendly bugs in an instant but they let their mistake of understanding of difference between "OR" or "AND" run for weeks & ruin the last gifting event EVER in MCOC, i mean i would have been ok like every player if they had outright said no gifting of usable items from now on but instead their miss communication kept people on the thread and they remained invested in their alt accounts. The mistake btw players here have repeatedly questioned and asked multiple confirmation on... This is very bad and 100% fault of kabam and this is why there is no Demonzfyre or Groundedwisdom (kabams spokesperson) defending kabam this time here far far away from these threads because even they know kabam did bad juju, and players deserve justice not comp, justice being sending everybody 75% xp boost and 20+ energy refills so atleast kabam make people play the game to achieve said level, atleast some solution for grinders out there. If grinders lost interest in the game then there's trouble.
Hey @Kabam Miike@Kabam Jax any update on if a compensation of xp and refills are going to happen or not? I don’t wanna buy the 3 day 75% xp boost and then have you guys say oh here’s this and that. And have my units wasted

First, I want to apologize for this situation. There was one set of information that we were operating on, and even after internal clarification, it turned out to be wrong.
This was the cause of this whole mess, which, unfortunately, we cannot change. We explored changing the conditions on this as soon as we realized our mistake, but that will result in many more complications for an event that is already running, and many people have made a lot of progress.
We are human, and we will make mistakes. Especially as we strive to communicate with you as much as we can. We have to act on the information that we have available to us and aren't able to ask the game team every question as it is asked. They just don't have the time for that.
We strive to be as accurate with our information as possible and make as few communication errors as we can, and we are very sorry that this one slipped through and affected our players.
So answer is theres nothing that can be done and those who didnt get the badge will not get the badge right? Be more specific mike. I know its a tough spot but say as it is.
Can we grind 40 lvl now? Please answer
Yes I can confirm you get the badge when you get Lvl 40. I can't confirm the accolade calendar yet though, hopefully I get it tonight, but am sure I will be short a day.
I can confirm you get the accolade calendar now but it starts at day one so even though I popped experience boosts and grinded yesterday for 6 hours due to a kabam mistake I will miss out on the last milestone for accolades. @Kabam Miike@Kabam Jax is it worth putting in a ticket to try and get my day or will they just tell me tough luck?

That's just dumb. Kabam messed up and insted of making it right you are basically submitting to their I'll treatment of player. Very bad

Dumbness is that you think kabam will do something about this ...my alliance has a different alliance in which we have our alts. I wanna transfer lot of things to my main account and other people too. You expect too much from kabam here . They ain't doing anything now .

I expect them to do right thing and bring the gifting event for all the people who have alts and players were only doing as kabam told them from the start, IT WAS 100% KABAM'S FAULT, & no one else's. Hopefully people stop spending real $$$ on this game so the management starts listening to player base because it is their bread and butter. Enough with INCOMPETENT people working at kabam. If they don't fix the issue that many many players cross questioned to confirm, if they don't fix it then it will just mean kabam did this to punish people, make them relax from 1st dec announcement otherwise if mistake was fixed early on players would not have felt cheated, & would have grinded to lvl 40, this is basically cheating "oh' we made a mistake"!. Solve it!!! This is blatant abuse to lie to player base. This was a lie and spending anymore $$$ signals to them players are ok to being lied to.
Nothing will change guys. It has been decided. This thread will be either closed or pushed down and ignored by them. The main reason they wont change anything is to prevent bot accounts below lvl 40 to sell cheap items. If they have to sacrifice few legit alt grinders , so be it. They did the same for BG when they used player base to catch cheaters.
My only concern is if kabam planned to do this bait and switch from the start to mess with bot farmers, that's not just unethical, but also not legal? - any lawyers here on forum?
I'm no lawyer but because i know kabam can be in real mess if some player legit tried to take action, but only dilema is, whales usually don't care about such alt account problem. But in reality this was a *LIE* and any company that takes money and lies for its product or service is acting criminally or abusing law be it Canada or United States, here in US it's a legit lawsuit in my view waiting to be filed by someone.
Who is disagreeing with every comment on this thread? A mod account in disguise ? Or somebody who is disagreeing thinks kabam did the right thing by LYING to every player, & messing with the Christmas spirit?
I don't think the moderators did it on purpose, I think some programmer messed up and copied the code from last year and didn't change the part making it either or. They probably aren't going to fix it because it would end up messing something else up. It would be nice to get some kind of XP boost or something to help with the grind for those willing to do it. The smaller accounts help more people get in higher ranking of rewards and help the smaller accounts grow.
