Cheats!

I have taking part in war since it was introduced and am president of a club that goes to war once a week. For months I have been reporting clubs full of cheats, I get no reply and nothing happens to the cheats. For example, last week, we played a club who knocked us down scoring 976,535 with one player scoring 207,651. One of the players had a level 18 city with a small population but had level 20 magnetism and shield buster - this is impossible unless they cheat!  It's obvious to all of us who the cheats are, why can't EA see the cheats?

  • I tried to report 3 playerstoday, stupid, butyes. No response, why do i report them, nothing happens in 2 yesrs, 2 players score 250k, 3 with lvl20 mag, i really think its useless to report.

    You know that if everyone got out of playing these wars and go back to how it was before they were introduced, there wouldn’t be any cheaters. I’m president of a No War Club so we have no issues other than to play and build up our cities.

  • Our club faces the same challenge in the 7th war arena. Every time our score exceeds 5000, we encounter suspicious opponents: 2-3 strong players (pop. >1.5M, avg. war score >50k, high-level war cards like Magnetism >10), while the rest are low-population feeder cities.


    Despite reporting cheaters, we lost those wars. Even if we push to 350k war scores, they still outmatch us. We’ve now decided to lose wars intentionally to drop below 5000 and strengthen our war cards with golden keys.

    Key questions:

    1. Does EA truly act against reported cheaters?
    2. How can players with ~1.5M pop. afford extreme war card upgrades (e.g., Magnetism 14)?


    We want fair play to bring back the fun in club wars. Thanks.

    I very much doubt that there will be any fairness in the wars and that’s the reason why I don’t play them anymore

    No, never!

    How can players with ~1.5M pop. afford extreme war card upgrades (e.g., Magnetism 14)?

    The population doesn't matter. My 2nd city has 285887 Pop. and Magnetism 16.

    You need to play brave in the COM (It's easier to finish the COM with a Level 18 City! - i can't remember, i finished all COM's in the last 2 Years?!).

    So you will get SimCash + golden Keys for Magnetism 16.

  • Here's my tuppence worth.

    I too have been fighting wars since they began and have only ever seen one enemy city get rubbled. Yes there are cheats out there but also there are a heck of a lot of people who want to run before they can walk too.

    Let me explain, when you come up against a club where most of them have level 20 everything and one or more of them are level 100 cities, you can guarantee two things, they are cheats and you are in for a mauling 🤣 

    As for running before you can walk, there's people out there who just have to get to the top tier, long before they are ready to be there - why I dunno but - an average war score of 3 or 4k is as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike in A7 beyond a certain level 🤣 They don't last long in my club. I like a fair fight, my average is 78k, nothing startling but I have been known to go way past the 100k and  I will fight until I am either asleep or got nothing left to throw at you, whatever comes first but I don't seem to sleep much these days. 🤣

    In all that time fighting wars though I have upgraded what I can but have nothing better than level 13 so far.

  • Pff, again…. A started war, lost before it started. 16 lvl20 mag and 4 starters, 1 player plays bad, average only 100k. Sometimes its sad there is no abort war button,  we now have to wait…. But then, if you dont like a war and can abort, thats not the solution. After reporting lots of cheaters without any result, i give up.

     

  • Wow, 6 minutes ago, one of the 16 players was removed from the war, is ea or whoever finally waking up?
