Cheats/Hackers in Contest of Mayors
Hi Been directed here by an appalling e-mail reply from EA customer services. I finished last weeks (commencing 03 Jan 18) Contest of Mayors Mega League in 3rd place, but the two cities/mayors abov...

I hear ya!
It is even worse now with the Mayor's Pass. Instead of winning 4000 SimCash, it is only 2000. Second place is only a 1000. So you'll spend a 1000 to win a 1000 because chances are so good that you will lose to a cheater.
I know what kind of effort it takes to get into the top 6. The time is incredible, even using SimCash. So when I see someone go from zero to 200,000 in 6 hours, it just makes me feel more inclined to just pack it in. Seems like I spend more time tracking and reporting cheaters than actually playing this game. I suppose I should listen to myself.
Still finding cheaters and still reporting them.
Keeping this thread at the top until something gets done about it so that cheating doesn't happen anymore or I give up and quit.
Currently playing CoM and it was pretty competitive with players jostling for the top spots as it should be. Normally you will notice a player gaining on you in 1k increments. Out of nowhere a player showed up in first place with a 40k lead. What's funny is that his score is 127,957. The other 99 players in this match has a score ending in a zero or five. How do you get a score that is an odd number? Really starting to irritate me that this is allowed. Please tell me Ikachka how do you get this score? EA, you need to stop this!
Well.. I stumbled upon this video on youtube..
Im not sure if it still works in the current version of simcity but the black button on the left is clearly not a part of the regular game..
And that, my friends.. is apparently how you fart your way to the top position in a matter of minutes..
Well, isn't that interesting!
The video is in Russian, so that explains why it is usually the Russians that are winning the Contest of Mayors with impossible scores.
So my best guess is that it still works because the Russians still keep hacking the game.
I still can't believe they haven't been able to make this game with check points in it that immediately red flag someone when an unusual points score comes up. They should know what the average score should be and how many points you could earn in a day. Anything that goes against the clock should immediately be frozen and investigated. How complicated is it? If Facebook can do it, I am sure they can too.
