U guys know what's actually comical about this issue?... Remember a few months ago.. they decided the "best" course of action to penalize some cheaters was to take away their 7* shards... And i say "best" cause it clearly was the "easiest"... We actually cheered and laughed at those cheaters that came to the forums to cry about it... Now the "best" course of action is let them keep those 7*... Its actually comical...
I imagine there has to be some miscalculation there. I saw one player who mentioned having 9k 7* shards earned legitimately, yet they got to keep 2 7* champions from the exploit and only had 1 taken away. I've also seen some players mentioning that they kept champions that were pulled and awakened from the exploit by just putting 1 sig stone into them.
Knowing that they're refunding rank up materials used on exploited champions, I wonder if they're removing unused, legitimately earned champions rather than the ones sig stones were used on. That way they still have the same number of champions removed but don't need to work out how many sig stones to give each individual player. I haven't seen anyone mention receiving used sig stones, so it's a possibility.
To add to the first thing you said about a miscalculation, I posted a screenshot on this same thread of a Cav who got to keep a 7* as well (his other top 3 champs were 5* with 9k PIs) which is impossible for obvious reasons. I have no doubt there's been a miscalculation here.

I also have to wonder if that conversion happened for players who hadn't yet bought the discounted crystals if they had 10k shards. And if the conversion did account for the discounted price, did they lower the amount of discounted crystals they could get from the store? All things considered, there's a chance some players are getting 4 7*s for 40k shards.
We have evidence they've taken action in removing things. This persistent demand for details is what's awkward.
I mean how dare you ask for details in a competitive game. It's awkward and weird you know! Eeeeww
You mean details about the actions they take on other Accounts? I realize Kabam has made efforts with transparency lately, and that's great, but it's also done in a general sense. The OP was monitoring individual Accounts and expecting answers on that, which is excessive. All this talk about being more advantageous to cheat, and expecting some kind of compensation for this, and demanding Kabam answer for themselves based on investigating Accounts is, for lack of a better word, obscenely awkward.

It's a discussion. If Kabam doesn't want to comment, clearly they don't have to. Players will hold these beliefs and opinions no matter what. Expressing and communicating them on the forums is what it's meant for. If they choose to close the thread and move on, then players will at least be aware of Kabam's final stance. If you think it's obscenely awkward, there are buttons you pushed to get here that don't need to be pushed.

Rofl move the goal post much?.. The OP was presenting evidence of people keeping rewards.. he was not asking for personal info, any details on the account, social security number or the pin number on his debit card.. The details he is asking is about the procedure taken and final result... Yeah transparency... Gonna quote a great YTber lately and say.. transparency? .. TRELLO BOARDDDD

Yeah, and if that's your opinion, you don't have to be apart of it. I don't often allow myself to associate with things that I think are obscenely awkward, I don't know why anyone would.

Having strong opinion of things that don't affect the person is awkward enough... I just love the fact that everyone actually knows what he is doing and no one is insulting him or breaking forum rules to get this post closed even if he tries

Excessive? Just because I (and everyone whose name isn't GW) wanted to make sure Kabam did their job and punished the people who cheated properly? The only obscenely awkward thing here is you thinking this is okay, it's not.

You realize without it's playerbase they don't have a game right? So the least you could do is be transparent when you screw over that playerbase.

You're speaking as if we're their employers, and it's our responsibility to make sure they do what we feel is best. There's a fine line between expressing concern and making demands. Just because we play the game doesn't mean they're answerable to us on every action.
Imagine being a semi casual player, and try to tell people who play end game content, compete at higher levels what kind of problems they should have and not... Awkward...

Nobody here is acting like their employers, they said they were going to fix this mess, they didn't, now they're getting backlash lol it's that simple why are you unable to process that? And yes, I was expressing my concerns initially, but seeing how everything has unfolded now I am making demands. We deserve an explanation or some form of acknowledgement from Kabam, sure they can just ignore it if they want and close the thread cause it's their decision, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do though.
No one is getting shafted. The persistence on this is uncomfortable.
Then ignore the thread and move on, nobody cares if you agree or not. I can guarantee yours is the only opinion nobody actually cares about because we know that 1. You don't care that a bunch of Cavs are running around with 7* and 2. You're always there to defend Kabam even when they've messed up.
Exactly - do we have an official Kabam response yet? If not this will continue.
I know they are not my employees . They don't work for me... And I don't even own my account .. So basically this is a bit like a renter/landlord situation..and if that's the case I am owed an answer... 🤷
I suppose that’s what bugged me about the matter of fact way your post dealt with accountability. In an environment where things run as they should, straight, clear rules make sense. When the environment feels broken, not as much.
Dr. Zola
When everything runs as it should, accountability is moot. It is when everything is broken that clearly articulating precisely what is supposed to be happening, without prejudice or compromise, is essential.
Dude, please just ignore the thread like you said you were going to. You’re beating a dead horse at this point. You are literally talking in circles as always.
I was busy today so I’m just getting caught up. Looks like 2 more pages of GW telling us to stop talking about this which means he’s really bumping this thread constantly to make sure we keep talking about it.
Besides that there was an odd post about a support response that didn’t make sense.
Don’t we have photos of an account with the same 7 star as before the “fix”? So did they really end up with the same champ after having it taken away and then having their shards converted to champs? And why even do that?
In another thread about this people are saying they’ve been given generic rankup gems to replace catalysts they spent ranking up champs they got from the bug. If that’s true that’s another big win for exploiting the bug. Generic gems mean more space for catalysts in their inventory and they aren’t bound to what class catalysts they have.
At this point I think it’s fair to ask Kabam to explain what on earth is going on. I’m not demanding, they don’t have to, but I think it’s a more than fair request.
Miike said they’d be taking back all the rewards from exploiting the bug. That hasn’t happened. Now we’re hearing that on top of that they are spending time trying to get these people their BG season rewards that they missed and refunding better rankup materials than they spent on the champs they should not have had. And they got to keep 7* champs they shouldn’t have. And maybe kabam support is telling people they converted people’s shards to champs for them which doesn’t make any sense to me.
Right now it seems like all upside for the exploiters and it keeps getting better for them by the day if everything being posted on here is true. So far Kabam hasn’t disputed any of those claims so I’m left to believe them.
So can we please get some clarification on what the intent was to fix this mess, what’s actually been done, and what’s still being done about this?
I’d like to know if the fix did what it was supposed to do. Whether it did or not, I’d also like to know if there will be any more removal activity or if all the effort now is being spent on refunding these people with upgraded rankup materials and missed BG rewards.
Bugs happen, fixes don’t always work, but clear communication about what’s going on would make me feel better about the situation than I do right now.

What is hilarious is your hypocritical stance where you (and a few other players) keep telling people to drop it.
