Just seen this on the announcement forum Post. kabam boo even said the key will be gone but the path will remain open so did that mean then that the chest will remain plot thickens 😂 And someone questioned what would be the point of rerunning it.
People can rerun for more XP if they need it or to practice against those specific champions, or they're just bored waiting for energy
You also have to think why would they ban for 7 Days and give 7 Extra keys throughout the entirety of the event

There's 7 extra keys so you can run additional difficultly and if you miss 7 days some how
I think it's funny as all hell. It's called karma your alliance members should be banned and they know it. If they wanna cry about it maybe they shouldn't have exploited the path knowing that they shouldnt. Cry us a river and go cry to who cares
Not everyone 'exploited' it, there are genuine reasons some people ran it more than once. Not everything is as straightforward as that but you'd know if you took time to read the thread and not just come to laugh at others misfortune.
Misfortune? You exploiters really think we're buying your story that "I didn't know!". You cheated and got caught. Deal with the consequences like an adult.
You obvioisly didn't read what I wrote earlier on. As for taking it like an adult, the adult thing to do would be to look at it case by case and not assume everyone with the same punishment.
Here's the thing. it's their game and they can punish as they see fit. If they choose to punish all exploiters uniformly, there's nothing any player can do about it. And it should prove the point that cheating will not be tolerated at all.
Again, it is not cheating if the player did not know there was a bug. What that is is a mistake that is not the fault of the player. Kabam made the mistake. And I fully understand that some knew and openly bragged by posting pics and vids, 100% deserve to have those taken back but to punish everyone the same is ridiculous.
There is this thing called common sense. If there is some mode in the game that outside the official rules of the mode allows you to freely gain resource that are super rare very commonly then it is probably an exploit and you should stay away from it. It was so obvious that this was a bug that it was reported a lot with people scared of getting a ban.
Kabam one of your employees literally said on the side event quest thread that you could go back on that path after you went on it the first time and unlocked it with a key. Your lack of communication is a MASSIVE issue and has caused all these bans to happen. It is YOUR bug, so instead of fixing it, you went ahead and banned thousands of players for going back on that open path that we were told you could go back on. Why are you banning people for a week AND removing their rewards? Just remove their rewards. It’s your fault the bug existed. The rewards SHOULD be removed 100% but a 1 week ban is SO unjust. That affects alliances and many other things in game, and it all originated from your bug. Just remove the rewards! We all agree with that! No need to ban! That’s way too compromising!
That’s literally like putting the blame on someone else because you’re not strong enough to take it yourself. Just remove the goddamn extra rewards off everyone’s accounts. It was your bug. Take responsibility for it and fix it.

You have seen the lack of understanding in the Kabam post regarding the paths, right? What part of how they phrased that made it clear that you should not run a path more than once? As far as running quests over and over for rewards, I do it often in the daily cat quests...

Nah, you exploit a bug you get a ban, that teaches people not to exploit bugs. If they do what you suggest there is no real punishment and you are free to keep exploiting in hopes you dont get caught. You cannot make a bug free game. In addition Boos comment is not about getting extra rewards, it is clearly just so that if it is open incase you need to back out, and you wont need the key to go back in.
Man this is giving me serious deja vu from the Spider-Man Homecoming event
Good on you Kabam for staying consistent with your sentiment for that I do fully support these bans as I also did when that issue happened. It was pretty obvious you shouldn't have gotten the rewards more then once so idk why people are acting like those who exploited the bug several times (the main ones who are getting punished might I add) are in the right. They are not.

Let me guess, you want the bans to be easier so you can beat them?
@Kabam Miike I completely understand removing the rewards from all the accounts who exploited the bug. But what’s banning them gonna do?? It was your goddamn bug. Take responsibility for it at least, apologize, and fix it. And remove all the excess rewards. Banning people does WAY more harm than good for an issue that you guys caused because of a problem in YOUR servers. This affects entire alliances. Let that sink in.

if you went back on the path and had eyes and noticed you got the reward again you would've stopped and reported it. It's both Kabam's and the communities fault, not one or the other. So stop acting like you did nothing wrong (dont know if you exploited just acting like you did though).
I played a lot of games in my days and I can assure you playing around with a bug is pretty common and there is no wrong thing about it. Only wrong thing is that the developers launched the game without proper testing. People play games for fun and bugs and glitches are good source too, that's no punishable crime. Only thing wrong is some of us couldn’t take advantage of it and now we're behind in progression. Also some of us play hard and pay money for resources while others getting free resources. It's that wrong, yes. Are they doing wrong? NO! You have to understand there's a thin line between them. And please, let's be honest we all would've taken the opportunity if we could. This is a game, not a morality test. If they are taking back the resources(which they should) that's completely fine. But banning someone for it? Hell no. It's like they are punishing players for they're (Kabam) mistakes.

You can run it again, Boos statement does not state that you can repeatedly get the rewards, just that the path stays unlocked. The issue is that once you realized the rewards were

That is completely out of context and taking some huge liberties in the explanation. The path remains open, yes, but that doesn't mean that you can get the rewards again. The Path remained open so that if you fail to complete the path, you can try it again, and so that you don't make a mistake and take a path where there is no rewards, wasting a key.

I have played video games most of my life (44 years old) and program many myself. In standard games playing with a bug is fine, it does not affect game balance, exploiting a bug in an MMO is ALWAYS a big no no. If you found a bug that did not give massive resources and was just fun then you would not get banned for exploiting it, but once you upset game balance they will ban you, in pretty much any MMO on the market.

I knew about the bug and chose not to exploit it.
But thank you - I now feel reassured that a random, obscure person from the internet has assured me it’s ok to exploit bugs.

@SpideyFunko can you at least acknowledge that what you did was wrong? And attacking @Kabam Miike who gets a ton of rubbish from people like you daily is unnecessary. I do sympathise with you to a point but you knew it was a bug and so the action was taken, serves you right tbh.
I was agreeing with miike. I haven’t even gotten any keys @Stark154667 I have proof of you want
