Don’t wanna break up 2 teams just to create a mediocre gamma team with maestro, how is he better utilized?

I hear people say the they are skipping dread and omen , but builds eternals? Why? It’s just another war team, no?

Let's be clear about what the reinstatement actually did: it let the cheaters keep the one thing that matters most out of all of this — Annihilus.

A 3-day ban doesn't undo an exploit. The resources, the diamonds, the roster power, and most importantly an early/overpowered Annihilus are all still sitting on those accounts. Scopely had two honest options: strip the ill-gotten gains, or remove the accounts. They did neither. They hit pause for a weekend and handed everyone their toys back.

So here's where that leaves the rest of us, especially in Cosmic Crucible: if you run into an Annihilus that exists because someone exploited their way to it early, you're not competing, you're auto-losing. The imbalance Scopely created by reinstating these accounts is now baked into every mode Annihilus touches.

There's really only one way to make that right without a rewind Scopely clearly won't do:

Give Annihilus to everyone.

Cheaters got a 3-day "vacation" and got reinstated, and a lot of people want to actually do something but aren't sure what. Here's what's actually worth your time:

1. Request refunds through Apple/Google directly — not Scopely support.
   Support will just copy-paste a denial and close your chat. Go straight to the platform: on iPhone it's reportaproblem.apple.com, on Android it's in your Play Store order history under "report a problem." A bunch of requests around the same time actually registers on their end. Two caveats — it's mostly recent purchases, and don't do a *bank* chargeback, because that can get your own account banned.

2. Look into small claims court.
   It's the one legal door that's actually open, because small claims is almost always carved out of forced-arbitration clauses. Cheap to file, capped at a few thousand, and they'd have to send lawyers that cost way more than the cap just to defend it. If enough people file, it becomes a real headache. You can only claim your own quantifiable losses, and exact rules vary by state.

3. Aim the pressure at Marvel/Disney, not just the app stores.**
   Marvel licenses the IP and actually cares about their brand looking bad, and they sit above Scopely. "Your licensee is shielding fraud and reinstating cheaters" carries a lot more weight than yelling at Apple, who mostly just care about their cut.
