As many in the community are already aware, a number of players from a variety of alliances have been banned in the last 24 hours. Speculation is rife on chat apps with regards to the reason behind this, but as I am not one of those banned I do not know the reason and I will not post the speculated reasons for this as I fear this will make matters worse. What I am hoping to however is that Kabam will deviate from their normal policy and elaborate as to the violations for which players are being punished. I am asking this for two very specific reasons.
1. To prevent speculation, rumours and general ****. You don't need to give specifics, but something that gives a general idea of the reason will prevent a lot of problems without giving away how they were caught.
2. Most importantly, to reassure the player base who have followed your terms and conditions that the players who have violated rules that they adhere to that sufficient action is being taken to prevent cheaters getting ahead. Without quoting examples it is very hard to give examples, but I will say this. If someone is banned, whether it is permanent or temporary, it is because they broke a rule. There is a strong likelihood the rule was there to prevent them gaining an unfair advantage. If they are gaining an unfair advantage, your summoners who abide by these rules need to know that cheaters do not prosper.
Please, on behalf of the majority, the players who abide by your rules, show us the respect we deserve and let us know how cheaters are being punished. If you can't, then what's the point in us trying or spending any more?

With that said, I don't care. If people want to be dishonest, and cheat, let them, kabam will find them and ban them. This is evident with the latest ban wave.
So with that said, it is speculated that they used a hack to increase resources. If you do this, you get banned.
If they are banned they can't access their account...
Not all bans are lifetime. There was alot of nonsense when people were getting completion rewards for every run thru on master mode a few runs back. Guys opened a ton of 5 stars and ranked them up to get uncollected, then only got the materials taken away and a 1 week vacation. They still got their uncollected title and the great stuff that comes with it.
1. They cheated. That should be general enough.
2. You can be reassured (as a TOS following player) BEACUASE this ban happened.
Triggered catastrophic events serverside, since it hasn't worked since launch, triggering the ban hammer
