Why you don’t ban him? It’s against tos.

And this is another reason why I don't spend a penny on this game. The whole "rules for thee but not for me" attitude..

KT should have been dealt with many years ago when he did the wrong things that he did.

I don't feel sorry for him at all hearing him explain himself away. He should have been banned and every account he didn't play or acquire ligitimately as per kabam's tos should have been shut down. But he got away with it. That's that. Him making these Own Up videos now embarass kabam more than him imo. Not that they care an iota, let's be honest.

I do watch some of KT's content which I find to be informative. But him as a player of this game? I rate very low. Not speaking of skills obv. I'd have respect for him if he had started a fresh account and taken it from there. It's like his whole Rank up video series. I never watch those coz A) I find those quite boring and again, I have no respect for his account. Not that he needs it either but since we're all throwing our 2 cents around here in the town square.

Why are you assuming he was never punished? We’re talking about things from several years ago. It’s possible that he served some time for what he did, but that’s not for anyone but him and Kabam to know. Kabam isn’t going to discuss anyone’s accounts and he has a right to keep whatever personal information private as he sees fit.

Yep! I assume that coz otherwise it would be the first thing he'd say to counter and shut up whoever keeps tauting him about his past indiscretions... but he doesn't.

And I don't care whichever way tbh. He has a huge fan base. He does lots to advertise this game. And he's far from the most worthy to get kicked out of the game the past many years. I get all that. He's been clean? Good for him. Can't wipe out the past tho. Especially when he brings it up himself for all to hear about it.

🧐How does people saying he should be banned know what consequences he had to face? He could have already did time (temp ban) for this issue. Why complain about something that happened 8 years ago.

say it again..they are assuming nothing happened to him..we will never know because Kabam ain't going to discuss personal accounts

Why the hell do people not like kt? What did he do?
This is my limited impression of him from years ago so he might have changed. But I don't like his content because it often felt like rage bait, designed to get people angry, no matter how minor a situation was. His vids also always felt very long-winded, taking 10 minutes to say something that could be done in 3 minutes(I get that he does this to increase ads, doesn't change the fact I dislike watching it)
And I also just straight up don't agree with a lot of things he's said in the past.
(Doesn't mean I'm calling to get him banned tho, this post is kinda weird)

Sort of true. But prof hoff is the king of making 10 minute videos of one 6*

Bottom line for me is, follow the rules. I have a pretty low tolerance for people who cheat. It's one thing when Alliances were trading logins to move in War and AQ. It takes it up a notch when you're undercutting the game by offering fraudulent services (being a Merc). Another still when you're using a Mod. There are degrees of severity, but it's all cheating to me.
I'm not on a podium about it. If someone stopped doing it, then that's respectable. I don't have a gold star for them, though. I've played for over 7 and half years without engaging in behavior like that. So have many, many other Players.
People say that's how it was for Top Players. I say they were Top Players because they were breaking the rules.

You had to be good to even get into alliances that did this stuff (and I was). No offense but after 7 years you barely scrape into GC when everyone is already in there for a while. The only reason I was asked to (and declined to pilot) was because I was good back then.

You have no idea what you’re talking about so it doesn’t matter why you think they are top players.

Again, KT could start a F2P account today and beat you to GC in a couple of months. Nick136 is in Diamond with unleveled 4*. You’re way out of your depth here bucko.

Not to mention the value that KT adds with his guides is far more than anything you’ll every contribute. He’s a top player because he’s put in a lot of work on top of his talent.

Listen, you want to fan boy, be my guest. I didn't say anything directed to KT. In fact, I specified my comments weren't directed at him.
You're barking up the wrong tree if you're defending someone who has attacked me personally in their videos. I don't care for his brand of content. That's still not my issue, and I have enough decorum to keep my thoughts on the subject and not about him. If you want to go there with me however, don't.
You forgot that I wasn't even trying until last Season. Not that I couldn't. I'd play a Match here and there and that was about it.
Don't preach to me about what it took to get into those Alliances. I've been aware all along the requirements, and I've been here telling people Account Sharing is against ToS. The fact that people got away with it for so long that they thought it was acceptable is unfortunate and frustrated me to no end, but I was happy when they started banning over it.
If you have to break the rules to be at the top, you don't deserve it. I don't care if it's KT1, you, or King Charles III.

I'm betting this is their false equivalency for the opening mythic crystals kerfuffle. They want to point to something years ago since many people are really harping on those who opened mythic crystals getting punished.

That's like saying you don't respect a heart surgeon who saved someone you love life because in 1st grade he drew a stick figure for his friend during arts and crafts.

A heart surgeon?

A heart surgeon?

Sorry, I purposely didn't use cardiologist because I figured people wouldn't know what that is... I really don't know a more simple way to explain it.

GroundedWisdom

No, I get it. It's an example. I just think it's an extreme one. I mean we all have our favorites, but they're not saving lives. Lol.

Zekir

The fact that we are beating this dead horse again, is honestly beyond me.

Own Up video or not, this was YEARS AGO! How many top tier players modded, piloted, merc'd to be where they are? If you're gonna nit pick someone in the spotlight, then better start combing those other account histories. I guarantee Some, if not Most of those are JUST as guilty.

If you're gonna be petty about what someone did so long ago, then be considerate and point at the general populace up there, or stop posting this.

At this point, this OP should be banned since this post violates ToS as a personal attack on another community member.

How about that?

No, you were fine. They're different things.

A cardiac surgeon is a surgeon who operates on the heart.
A cardiologist is a physician who specialises in looking after the heart, using medications, physiotherapy, and radiology (catheterisation).

I'm pretty sure that GW knew what you meant - they were just responding negatively to the thought of comparing KT1 (someone who plays computer games online) with a surgical professional who's been through fifteen years of dedicated training... 😉

The comparison was not playing a video game to saving lives but in making a mistake, in a video game, and then becoming an expert in said game after years and years of hard work, with making a mistake in school and then through hard work becoming an expert in a very difficult and prestigious profession.

This is the equivalent of me claiming I helped my friend (irl) do a single EQ boss fight about 5 years ago so I could teach him how to play AA, then Kabam linking that to my in game account and banning me. Maybe it’s not perfection but it’s certainly not relevant now, nor the end of the world.
