Apparent use of Bots in Arena

I am curious to know when Kabam will start looking into the players who use computers, emulators and bots to run their arenas? It has become highly evident that most of these Russian players are running computer programs to run their accounts in Arena, and week after week, they keep reaping rewards while the rest of us who play hard and spend get effed over by these cheaters. Can someone at Kabam explain? I’m sure I’ll get some cut and paste answer, which will avoid the actual issue of banning these cheaters permanently.

I think the questions are, what method does Kabam use to detect arena bots? How effective if the method of detection? How frequent they run their detection? How long it takes them to ban a detected cheater? How many percent of the actual bot users/cheaters have been correctly banned? etc ......
REMINDER ABOUT THE USE OF 3RD PARTY SOFTWARE

They need "detection" for automation, unless:-
1) you suggest Kabam to hire 1000000 works, to manually check one-by-one
2) you rely on people to file complain tickets, and they manually investigate one-by-one
Even developing a script/ an automation to verify top rank arena players, versus their rosters, to justify if they have the roster to achieve, still need DETECTION
However, I don't think that's the RIGHT WAY to do it. Remember? players can SPENT UNITS to recharge. If I have only three 5* champs of at least R2/35, and I have some 5* arena boost, but ALOT OF UNITS (or money), I can basically recharge ENDLESSLY and can get a few million points easily within a few hours.
No, I'm not, don't get me wrong, I don't support Kabam in many cases.
I'm just telling you that some people really spent units to recharge.
This is especially true that now the 6* champs are released, and they scored alot more than 5* champs
Some of them recharge their 6* champs, and achieve >40M points in the 5* arena
Let me be VERY CLEAR!!!! It is the responsibility of the company to ensure all cheaters are banned!
It is unfair to let those cheaters free and continue to cheat, it is VERY BAD for the community and very unfair to all of us putting time and effort
However, let me be also fair to say that detection is needed, and detection needs to be proven effective. REMEMBER, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Pls be fair to everyone unless you have actual proof (not speculation). If not, if we try to goto sue someone and bring a case to court just bcos we think someone may seem "obvious" as a criminal, it may not go well with the law or the judge. A proof is a proof, since you mentioned you have "clear evident" it is great, pls submit your "clear evident" to Kabam, such as a screenshot of someone with the bot running. I fully support you continue to file report so Kabam can look into the report and confirmed them cheating and ban them accordingly.
Again, don't get me wrong, I don't mind you post anything. Just in case you don't be careful you may get banned by the mods. I don't like to see Mods banning ppl for posting cheaters, but I'm not incharge here so nothing I can do about it. Take cares and cheers!
If you suspect a player or alliance of cheating, please do report them so that it can be properly investigated by the team. Once an investigation has been completed, actions will be taken if it is deemed appropriate. And as we've said many times before, the specifics of any investigation or actions taken against accounts will not be discussed on the forums.
