@lesorsierWhen someone is at lvl 99 and spent years building her city there's no need for cheating...
I'm making over 200k simoleons avg/day (50k taxes +,production) , 70k neosimoleons, I have almost 300 epic buildings (50 golden), 5 maxis manors, always thousands of simcash in reserve. I'm maxed at everything other then war.
I can say it for 99% certainty: she wasn't cheating.
Before they banned cities which had low overall lvl but high war/com level without understanding they designed the game so that low level makes its thousand times easier to win com and so on.
We have got two cities back from cheaters server but these four are missing. It took a long time before they got back and it wasn't like ea did something but our players had enough evidence to back it up they were legit.
And if someone has two cities but those are independent there's nothing cheating nor feeding. That was the case with one player.
I don't mean to be rude or anything and you already probably knew most I wrote I'm just so sick of this.
I just checked on few top war club players who I thought were banned but no, just a new club as you mentioned in somewhere if I'm remembering right.
I don't understand the cheaters at all... Where's the fun part? Or is it just me who wouldn't get satisfaction winning by cheating in a game like this.
Made few edits
@PenakynaThen she probably trigger auto ban with something. Could be simelons, simcash, too much trading,.. or something else,.. but in that case, she should come back...
Don't think that winning com is issue here, somebody has to win, can't ban people for winning.
Beside that, I play for years with one low level, but high war and com rank city. And I win from time to time. With the same players in the group.
As regards cheaters. Last one we reported, changed club name and all city names right out after the war.
City ID should be public, otherwise we are reporting the ghosts.
@lesorsierI know that winning com isn't the only issue. I have won a lot especially after they introduced the mayor's pass. I haven't seen cheaters in the com for a while.
This random banning and letting clear cases go thru their scan isn't too promising.
I'm afraid I'm next for having too good points in com.

Is it possible to visit any of their cities? Sorry for the stupid question, I just know that if you report while you're in their city it sends their info along with the report. ( https://answers.ea.com/t5/SimCity-BuildIt-Support/INFO-How-to-reach-support-for-SimCity-BuildIt/m-p/3772815#M5789 )

When you enter to the war map, you can see the last war report (if you didn't start another one), you can tap on each member and see where are they now and what is their city name now, this is helpful because you can see where they hang out later, generally, in other cheaters clubs. But you can always save the code of the Club, they can change the name, but I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that the code remains as the same. if you haven't started a new war and you've seen them make those changes, you can send that additional information if you opened a report case to EA. I guess this is useful, but yes, I agree, our '' ID '' should be public, so we can report that ID instead.
just came to my mind... I don't know why this game still doesn't have a ''add friend'' option... or look up player profile... everything is behind a city profile that is lost in nothing when you leave a club, or simply change the name of the city, and it is that in reality, in the game we do not have names, our names are the ones that our city have, so we got used to saying, Hi New York! How you been? weird.
@BlazinsZI picture all our wars, and upload on our site, with all cheaters tagged. So, easy to find it, We use to check it, (what you suggested) where they go, and what they do, are they banned on or not...etc. They got banned eventually, but after 3 or more months. For your info, if they are good, they need half an hour to set up new cities again. So what's the point? All our effort, of reporting, needs months to take place, and they are back even stronger the next day...☹️
I start to believe that they are part of the community, part of business model. As much as possible, more people to play the game, no metter how. What else is that cheater server, dedicated place just for them, where they can practice new hacks all day long.
Why? if game is modified, it should be blocked immediately. Game over.
Instead of that, you have completely functional game, just on another server.
If they want, they can solve problem just by blocking emulators and rooted devices, and eventually separate servers for ios and android.
