**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.

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

People really didn’t want to use it, but since there was no punishment, they felt like they had no choice but use it to keep up.
Sad thing is some of those on the list shouldn't be in any war bracket or have accounts at all. Lotta people going to be making notes of last login times for a few allis.
The fact that the list is so long and we're in season 11... Along with many of the players in those alliances being on various dock lists in the past... All just shows that this method isn't working to curtail cheating.
"So, skill wise we're a g1/g2 alli. Let's just mod up to master and then get docked to p2. Better rewards"
the real question is are any players BANNED? because u know...they BROKED the so called TOS?
Apparently this alliance who i am not naming
Didnt get dock,
the boss was a r5 200’sig thing
3 sequential wars against modders but us in P1, but we keep getting matched with top5 alliances in master only? Really?
If we got the win points we would be #9 in masters and that would be enough. We dont care about individual war rewards.
Not to mention those dropped to lower tiers due to the losses.
The leaderboard is meaningless unless we think it makes sense that a competition should have 2 losers and no winner.
Great job getting these docks done I think an official statement reiterating that cheating violates TOS and will lead to consequences would go a long way.
I’d also appreciate it if you could read through the below as there is still some progress to be made.
Let’s take both of the dock lists and conservatively say 40 groups were docked. 9 wars into the season that’s 360 wars amongst those groups where 360 alliances or 10,800 people lost an unwinnable war.
It’s great that these 40 groups were punished but what happens to the 10,800 people that played fair? How are we 11 seasons in and fair groups are still helpless? This is like catching a thief with all of the items he stole from you, throwing him in jail for a week and not giving back those ill-gotten goods because “well we threw him in jail for a week.”
Honestly, I think it's most notable at the top tier because those that don't cheat are VERY dedicated players. They pay close attention and thus are more likely to notice something hinky. For all those that were caught, I can only guess there's others that slipped through the cracks. It's difficult for those that don't watch war intently to catch those who cheat in the act. I've seen a couple situations this season that raised my eyebrow, but I couldn't be sure that it was a mod or just heavily boosted and a ton of skill. Occasionally I have to wonder.
To assume that the any of those cheating spend enough to dodge reprisals from Kabam, is just a rather ridiculous notion. Let's also note that some of those so called 'whales' may not be legitimate whales in having tons of illegitimate units loaded. Which is ultimately the reason why so many are calling for more permanent bans. Rightfully so. If the punishment doesn't outweigh the risk, they will more than likely keep at it. It was nice to see action taken though! Keep at it Kabam! I would wager another wave will occur at the end of this war cycle/end of the Season.
Kabam will act accordingly if someone is cheating ... period
