Unfair Blackout Period

So, I went on vacation for 2 weeks and didn't have/want internet access. Needless to say, I had to leave my alliance. I got back into my alliance after 15 days and I'm still subject to the blackout period?!?!
Kabam, this is not alliance hopping (which is why you implemented the blackout period) and needs to be fixed immediately. You should not be punished for going on vacation/taking a break from the game. Please note the big factor, I did not join any other alliance during this 15 day period. I should not have to wait another 10 days or whatever it is to get AQ rewards as well as missing out on another week of SA rewards. Please remedy this as it doesn't seem right.

Huh? You take a 6 month break and have issues being blacked out for 1 week. That is crazy. Lmfao
False.
You're missing out on a full 2 T4b if you miss a week. They need to lower the blackout period to 7 days. There's no reason you should be able to participate every single day of the alliance quest and still miss the rewards.
Yeah but your logic here is stupid, yes there are rules and a blackout period... but the guy left for a valid reason and if anything shows he doesn't share accounts and doesn't get covered if away.
He shouldn't have to put up with a blackout period anyway. Pretty sure it still gets manipulated anyway I've heard if you leave at the right time, it runs out just quick enough to claim the following AQ rewards.
Same way war is manipulated and the big boys are too scared to have a proper matchup
again, it doesnt put you behind anything. you still get map crystals and can accumulate those t4b later. its really not as big of a deal as players make it.
lol. im not down playing anything. i went through a bit of a burn out playing in top tier allies before settling in one. i went through a few black out periods. i really isnt the end of the world. players just need to deal with it.
there are multiple ways to earn t4b. you only miss out one 1 through ranked rewards. glory is used to buy wuat you want.
I guess if you are top 100's I guess it may be that competitive but...
Are you a good active player in your alliance or there something I'm missing here?
In fact, if you're joining a different alliance you shouldn't be punished by the blackout because it's obvious you were not hopping.
The current system is punishing innocent players just for use a feature of the game in the right way.
This system is punishing false positives and should be fixed. (Same for the Crash Penalty System).
It should detect actual hopping and only punish it.
Are you seriously asking Kabam to monitor and check every single ally switch in the game, and if the person says they did it for another reason, then they wait less time? Seriously, is that what you are asking? This would need literally hundreds of extra staff, and even then you would be asking them to believe the players claim for swapping on every occasion as well! All this so you can save 3 days waiting ffs
Well thought out suggestion, that makes complete sense to me, you have my vote
If the law want punish killers then the law is unfair if jail everyone out the house after 8pm because most killers are outside at that hours.
Software.
Plus, hopping require a perfect and specific timing, and a specific tier pattern. It's not necessary to do an interview to everyone joining alliances, if someone don't follow that timing and patterns then he's no hopping. Simple.
This guy was two weeks out then return again to his former alliance, that's an obvious innocent case, for example.
Software, really. Software that can tell WHY a player changed allys? What is this magic software that you speak off? Plus does it manage and update itself as well, and deal with all the tickets raised by people who dont agree with the software decisions?
All to save this player 3 days?
Sounds good
that's a really good idea.
Actually pretty simple. If the last ally you were in has the same tag as the one you are joining again, then no blackout. Wouldn't really be as difficult as you're making it seem.
Play on vacation. Simple.
If you want to go on vacation and leave the game, then is your choise. You already know that you'll loose rewards if you do so, then there is no need to cry due to that later
People take poops on vacations too.
Bring your phone, get your AQ moves in. You can spend 15 minutes, total, front to back, to participate in AQ..
This is my kind of guy/gal. Months and months of complaining and someone finally has a good idea. Bravo.
The blackout period is dated now anyway with the new aq setup. The swapping abuse is taking place in aw which has no blackout.
I've seen ally's kick players the day before SA is over to drop their numbers into a lower tier. Those players get nothing. Additionally, you join a new ally after SA starts and contribute to their points in their SA for 6 days but you get nothing from it.
In the case of SA, if your ally earns a 41-70% rank reward you get 425 5* shards, but you could cut it to 60 shards per 24hrs with the ally. Crystals and pots are bonuses for being there the whole 7 days.
Join an hour after SA starts? get 6 days worth. Get kicked on the 3rd day, get 3 days worth. All of it zeroed out if you have no participation (just like milestones in the other events).
The rest of the blackouts seem fair. You qualify for any milestones that occur after you join.
this, play on your spare time, before u sleep, i mean DOES IT REALLY HURT to login?
your missing login rewards thats 1 thing, you already took 2 weeks of vacation thats 2 aq sessions.
and another, your alliance said they wasnt going to kick you, and THEY did!!!
since you went on vacation your already behind.
unless there is some force thats making you not be on your phone...to not even be on social media aswell, fb,instagram,snap that u cant loging for 2 minutes to mcoc to login? u can even do bare minimum in aq.
its your fault
