Should Kabam strip AW end season rewards from cheater alliances?

Rampant cheating is a thing in the contest, sadly. Alliances that use mods unfairly beat alliances that play by the rules and don't cheat. Now that AW Seasons are a thing, this hurts legit alliances even more because it could knock people down a bracket from platinum to gold or gold to silver because they lost to an alliance that modded. Kabam doesn't alter individual wars, but should they at least remove any alliances that cheated out of the running for rewards, which in turn could push up alliances that unfairly lost wars (and lost the 50k win bonus, and possibly a higher multiplier)? They can do it if they wanted since they said they will manually place a different alliance in a higher reward bracket.

    Yes. they should. if they have the means to favor the one alliance out there that had a rough time finding a war(basically Kabam's fault), then they should reduce the score for the alliances that cheated. It's only fair.

    I would rather wait a bit longer for rewards so Kabam can take the time to make the leaderboards fair for all non-cheaters in the month we have off from AW Seasons

    YES

    Especially that one cheating alliance who's been *admitted* to being investigated by numerous reports by kabam, and are currently sitting at the bottom of Platinum 3.

    As an alliance who's in Gold 1 #1 spot (and faced this cheating alliance), this infuriates us.

    Kabam should do the right thing and give whoever ends up in 1st place in Gold 1 the Plat 3 rewards. I understand Kabam cannot comment on any outcome blah blah, that's fine, but do the right thing and give that alliance - whoever lands there - the rewards they deserve.

    Cheating alliances? No. Cheating players? Yes

    There are lots of alliance that cheat, but that doesn’t mean that every player in those alliances cheats and should be punished for no reason.

    Exactly it seems like the easy way out instead of just removing the player from the alliance and punishing them they say cheating is coming somewhere from this alliance take em all down.

    This can frighten a lot of alliances ok they can have a lot of laughs but what if they really don't know that person who is going to screw over everyone there?

    What if there are 5-10 cheating players? Or the person cheating is an officer or the leader?
