**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

I posted proof of piloting and collusion in season 1 and also sent proof of people buying legends titles as well as buying 5* Thanos legends runs. So yeah there are many cheaters who don't like me
Keep it up imo. I've seen comments about all that. Tbf, I've seen allegations against your alliance as well but have seen no proof.. And in the end, if we're here asking for kabam to really clean this mess up... We'll need all the voices we can get.
Diversions are just that. And they take away from the message. A good investigation by kabam should clear up who does what and who doesn't. Just need to get them moving on it.
I agree, and I have seen the screen shot posted by those in question from the very alliance that DID do a 2* war. There is a very big difference between a member of our alliance talking to someone and getting shot down to an alliance actually following through with cheating.
I invited Kabam to thoroughly investigate all the top 20 alliance and deduct points unbiasedly for every war this season if there was any signs of wrong doing.
I encourage you to edit your post and remove the name of the alliances as that could be used as cause to remove the entire thread.
I do agree that we need consistency here.
Cus i would love to see a system where you are able to challenge a particular alliance to a war. And have rewards based on the strength of the two allies. Ie stronger beats weaker get less rewards, weaker beats stronger get more rewards.
As i would love to fight against my sister ally and allies that have friends in them.
But i cannot think of a way it could be done that would not be exploited.
And the more you read about the lengths that alliances go to for rewards just shows that it is impossible.
As soon as someone has a choice in wat happens people will exploit it....
Unfortunately rng is the only way that cannot be manipulated/exploited....
I am sure i am not the only one that would love to fight a mates ally.... but there is not much chance any of us could do that.
And the simple reason is because of people like this that have no moral compass and would sell thier own mother if the reward was high enough.
Just fyi that YT'er that spends a lot has already condemned cheaters.
Yeah. Cus he spends that much money cus he fricken loves the game soooo much.
Anyone that truly loves the game can see that cheaters ruin it for everyone.
Cheaters dont love the game as much as they say/think they do. If they did they wiuldnt cheat. They would play in the spirit.
They love the rewards and the feeling of being on top. But really playing properly is a much better feeling. If you do ever get to the top you would actually feel like the best....
Its funny too guys who cheat carry on and brag as if they are the best.....
Guys like COW are more humble. He will openly admit he is not the best and not the most skilled and it is the fact he spends $$$$$ that gives him the roster to be toward the top....
Cheaters are not like that. Cheaters value that number 1 spot and that is all.
People that love the game love the journey. Not just the destination.
Dont really get it aswell. Why bother being n.1 if everyone knows you didn't even earn it. I'd rather be n.2 but legit if i had to choose and i was fighting for top masters. rewards won't get you recognition, which is the main reason most of cheaters cheat...for the bragging rights.
Many upper tier alliances are competitive. Cheaters should have no place there.
And I disagree. You're broadly labeling the whales/players who post FGMC openings on YouTube as cheaters, which is without proof.
Colluding is not smart, or thinking outside the box, or strategic. It's literally throwing all other alliances under the bus.
I think Kabam should step it up in punishments. There have been warnings/pity slaps towards cheating since the beginning of the game.
*****
Part of my post in another discussion:
A 2* war in AW doesn't happen without collusion to maximize point gain (using LINE, etc). Two alliances colluding together to not use items/boosts for one to score more points in exchange for money, and so cheaters can maintain master awards, even top 3 awards, denying non colluders a chance at higher tier awards.
Basically, this "smart" collusion is, using bribe money to act as cheat code to giving one alliance to a cheating war boost that guarantees a max point victory, while giving some members in another alliance an opportunity to make some money, while also not boosting/healing.
******
Up to Kabam to bring down the hammer.
Hit cheaters where it hurts.
Give cheaters a cheating tag so they can't alliance hop to cheat elsewhere.
Or just ban them from alliance war/arena.
Kabam, plenty of people think you should enforce much harsher punishments. It'll deter cheating and save your staff time/effort in giving punishments , since there will no longer be a slow reactionary policy of small warnings/gentle slaps of punishment.
The clearly repeat cheaters/initiators of cheating should be banned permanently, or carry a cheater tag and have their top 10 champs deleted.
Love ur idea of a cheating tag.....
Give the player a 7 day ban....
Give the alliance a war rating drop...
Give the alliance a 6 war ban..... (only counting season wars thats is 2 weeks worth of war season wars and would carry over to the next season)
And give each player “Cheat” tag for 1 year.
This tag to be displayed around profile pic just as a legend tag would be....
Dude, you are a hypocrite. Let someone else make the points you are trying to make because you have no credibility. Now folks are questioning your cred because you were not forthcoming. It’s derailing the topic
Lol you don't know what you are talking about. If you want to know about my cred go look at all my posts. If you want to know about my cred go look at the high tier recruiting chats. They will all say I post stuff on cheating all day.
Your comment is the only thing derailing the thread.

Alliance War/Alliance War Seasons: Corrupt because of piloting and colluding (2* Wars, Shell Alliance Matchmaking, Intentionally leaving defenders up, etc.)
Alliance Quest: Corrupt because many alliances pilot Map 6
Arena: Corrupt because of Arena Mercenaries and Bots/Scripts
Legends Titles: Corrupt because of Legends Run Mercenaries
Sucks that claims to the best at anything in MCOC mean so little because of how rampant cheating is
According to Kabam's Terms of Service, you agree not to:
Dead on
Also, this is not Kabam's style. I am sure it would not fly.
I still think Kabam should start banning people. Temp bans are fine, but Kabam will also have to remove and banned player from their current alliance. It's the only way for a leader to know who to replace without violating anyones "privacy."
They could add this to their ToS, something like "player misconduct can result in ban and removal from alliance".
I actually really like this idea. Penalizing the multiplier for a set amount of time would be so damaging and could ruin your entire season in 4 wars. Great idea I hope Kabam is reading this
You have to have a different mindset on the matter. Wars before season were just extra content while now they are necessary for progression. Before you d five up few shards while now you re up to fight for your own account and ally “level up”.
While empty maps wherw an exploit for kabam s mistake, they didnt regard nor involve contacts and agreements with the opponents. Same can be said for off season wars lost on purpose to balance down war rating and not risking of having it too high since season start - which would make matchmaking endless and might cost a war out of the 3 weekly ones. There too you decide to give up shards and minor rewards OUT and AWAY from the competitive aspect of war (season).
In this case, we are in the middle of said competitive content and two allies talked out of the controlled enviroinment to collude and agree on a deal profitting both sides which penalized all other allies playing fairly.
The point of view should be wider. If i agree on a 2* war i wont have to use up my invuln boosts, my power ones, and all those kind. Meaning that in the next 1,2,3 wars i will have the advantage of being fully boosted while my opponents might have used most of boosts in their last war. While masters usually are stacked, this situation has to be seen as a whole no matter in which braxket it could replicate.
Thus 2* wars are not only cheating the war system, they are penalizing fair playing alliances from a season point standpoint AND indirectly penalizing fair playing allies from a boost/resource saving point of view.
Brazil and russia can talk and settle for a certain score without a third party in the middle in world cup, but they d still be banned and ounished if they were caught with proof at hand.
Any alliance that gains an unfair advantage over another alliance by colluding to either not place defenders or place 2* defenders is most definitely cheating.
So to summarise, punishment should be severe, but it wont be, because they cant afford to off the spenders that havent already quit. They wont get any new bug spenders since wealthy players that have just begun the game are buying end game accounts rather than spending on resources to progress.
I'm sure they will do the math, but there is no choice that wont affect their bottom line.
We who play fair and buy boosts and buy potions will have no reason to buy these deals anymore if this collusion goes unpunished.
We who play fair wont have any reason to struggle through the arena to get a new defender or buy FGMC to beef up our defense if people can just do 2* wars and receive no punishment.
Why is there nothing in this case?
Why don’t they say anything this time? Lmao
