How many docks does it take for players to stop modding in AW Seasons?

I'll direct you to my first post in this thread which covered what players know and how they know it. There aren't many mysteries in this game with the proper amount of experience.
But one day, I hope to be skilled enough to will my power bar to fill constantly and to will the defender's to almost not move.
The OP stated that they sent a Ticket. Do you think something will happen immediately? No.
No matter how you look at it, reporting someone won't result in knocking them off the board the next day.
It was this one I was referring to.
Beyond that, perma-bans are needed. Mod users aren't confused about what they're doing. It's 100% intentional. There should be no second chances and there's no solid argument against that. Same for bot users and dirty units. Beyond the initial perma-bans taking out the trash, they would also deter other players from taking the risk and trying a new method to subvert the identification system.
*The temp bans have ONLY taught cheaters what they need to do better to avoid being caught.*
Start nuking these accounts completely. Others will be too worried to take the risk, and that worry will increase IF kabam follows thru over time. Season points and docks don't matter and don't do the intended job. Those are fine for piloting purposes but this is a totally different animal.
This game is now mature enough that the wrist slap phase is past. It's a huge game, huge money maker, and a huge player base. Time to treat it as one.
I, and Kabam's actions show they, see the situation as a vacated win, which means the example I originally gave of USC is similar, though the violation was much, much smaller.
You, and others, give examples of DQ's. In a race. Where the subsequent finishers are easily shown.
Some mods are easier than others to catch. An emulator running that does not mass the proper environmental variables to the client will be easy to catch, and emulator that passes the proper variables and imputs will be near impossible for instance.
In addition a lot of time when someones claims someone is modding the other team had legit ways to do what they did but the other team just does not think that far ahead.
This needs to be stopped however I haven't seen it get any better in the last 3-4 seasons. The same groups/people modding to no end.
There are definitely a lot of people that just cry wolf when they got beat fair and square but this is a real problem at the top of the game.
-This has been going on for a long time.
-There's a consistent, long-term usage by a few allis.. Probably not everyone in the alliances, but a lot of them.
-Doesn't matter what anyone believes either way.
If there was more solid proof, it would have been sent around by now and this convo wouldn't be taking place. No one is asking you or any other player to be the jury. Nobody cares about that at all. Those that know what's going on, know what's going on.
-Kabam hasn't been able to successfully ID it and the game is suffering bc of that. Each day/war that passes, things are getting worse.
-Only thing anyone is asking for is that Kabam improve its cheat detection and perma-ban cheaters.
Reality 101.
If you are going to make these types of accusations against people, and kabam, you need the actual solid proof you dont have. This acknowledgement about the lack of more solid prof makes your statement about it getting worse all the sillier.
if they catch cheaters they should be permaban, that is the only real reality in this thread.
2- I don't post without knowledge
3- you're assuming that I (and others) don't actually know. I can't help you with that. Or won't.
4- I'm not "most people on the forums". Not that I'm special, I'm not. But I do know stuff and don't cry wolf.
5- there IS a pervasive problem, but people aren't panicking.. They're considering foregoing war or the game altogether. That is something kabam needs to know.
6- no one here in this thread has posted "non-modding" occurrences.
7- again, your beliefs aren't at the heart of any of this. I respect them, but they are immaterial to the issue at hand. While i agree that many (or most) accusations on the forum are false and waste everyone's time, I wouldn't be in this thread if it wasn't the real deal.
8- none of that will sway you, but again... That's not my goal. None of us here that know what's going on are laying out a "case". We started that 3 seasons ago. Everyone at kabam has the hard evidence. What we're here for is to shout with one voice that they HAVE to do better going forward and that they NEED to rework their punishments appropriately.
That's all. Not knowing something is reality doesn't make it not so.
- knowledge of something is relative.
- I assume nothing, I am going by what you are stating here, and the fact that you cant, or wont put up is part of the problem.
- If you are claiming this is pervasive then you are crying wolf, as you stated many, or most of the accusations are false, if it were pervasive many or most would be true, as that is what pervasive is, meaning it is widespread happening everywhere. Not just the top alliances would be seeing it, would be seeing it EVERYWHERE.
- You say people are not panicking but admit people are posting fake occurrences, many of them listing this same thread as the reason WHY they are worried it is happening..
- Yes modding is happening, at the very highest level, by a small group of individuals and needs to be taken care of. That however is not what pervasive is.
Let them talk to themselves.
when its that same small number of groups at the top that happily spend money on the game for fun or the competitive aspect?
little old me in Gold 2 would be more inclined to push my alliance harder if it didnt involve the potential grief of running into modding alliances.
