Dear Kabam,
Per your announcement : http://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/64936/regarding-account-sharing-and-piloting#latest , this type of action and behaviors are strongly prohibited and discouraged.
Yet, as this season comes to an end; there are many instances and both in-game and out-of-game evidences showing there are more and more alliances resorting back to "piloting" for the sake of winning.
Understood that this type of behavior was much restricted via deduction of points and ratings at the beginning of Season 2, but without constant monitoring and enforcement; piloting has come back in force to ensure alliances finish in the highest tier(s) possible.
As you have pointed out from time to time, your goal is to keep The Contest a honest and fair place, please show us that you mean it and can continue to enforce such policies.
Best Regards.

But i do agree that theres still some piloting going on at top tier alliances.
Nope.
If Kabam wants to crack down on anything and everything suspicious; let's bring it all to the table.
Besides, I'm normally not a forum warrior and hide behind a pseudonym.
Should I also, like you, assume they colluded, piloted, cheated, and manipulated the game?
(Even though they vehemently deny any wrongdoing.)
Kabam has never and will never be transparent enough to individual alliances to give them enough details to fully understand the reasons behind their actions.
One can only hope they can, some day.
They could all be using a cloud VPN with an egress point there. Conversely pilots could scatter their geosignatures using VPNs. But it is precisely when people think they are doing something that cannot be detected that they tend to make mistakes that get them detected. And in my experience, the largest source of that overconfidence comes when someone believes they know all the ways they could be detected, and are simply wrong.
John Douglas (one of the earliest FBI criminal profilers) says that when criminals attempt to stage a crime scene to look like something other than what actually happened, they tend to make mistakes because they can only guess what a crime scene looks like, while experienced investigators don't have to guess, having seen hundreds of them. The people who cheat think they can get away with it because they believe the only way to detect them are only the ways they are aware of. But even the current method of evading detection using dedicated piloting devices is detectable: the only question is how much effort Kabam will put into detecting it.
Hard to beat cheaters I'll give you that.
Welcome to the forum though!
ummm...making a group chat with the specific purpose of avoiding one another or to gain an advantage from majority of other master bracket alliances is not colluding?
Hmmm, Kabam alrdy announced that line chat or rumours or suspicions r not evidence. So if u did get penalized, it only proves ur cheating and that kabam found hard proof.
U guys may b good and skilled, but doesnt justify the cheating actions. Admit ur wrongdoings before u criticize others.
Where is the proof they cheated against you? Your alliance just isn’t good enough to beat a top tier like Ny718 or MNG or others. You’re such a sore loser. Just man up and take the L and move on. Instead the whole community now knows you’re this way. No respect from this writer.
I'm sitting at rank 2. I'm happy with that. I didn't have to cheat to get there so I'm happy with that too. Where is the proof?

Also, you can see just by looking at the leader boards and seeing that Kabam found evidnce and issued a point deduction.
I did take the L lol I took 2 of them. I don't care about losing. I guess the morale of the story is don't cheat at all.
This is my hope as well.
Assuming of course if there was any “piloting”; if Kabam wanted to (and should in my opinion), outright refuse to give out the rewards to the suspected cheaters.
That will quickly discourage such cheating behaviour in the next season.
And, at the same time, demonstrate more transparency as to the infractions individual alliances has incurred.
More than a couple of alliances were impacted by this latest deductions, and received only generic messages.
