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...

@MajorMike00007 "trade one war item at a time" was a measure hackers/cheaterto trade a lot of war items, but it also hurts the legit players. K.O. system needs to be improved, being behind for 36 hours and steal the victory in the last minuits shouldn't be possible. K.O. timer should be longer than 4 hours too. You still get chest from Vu pass but it's obviously less valuable than we used to get from personal rewards. Hope they fix it.

@SummitVista3310Well said......I hope they fix it also, but probably not.
It kills me that every time I send an email on this stuff I always get the usual form letter,,,,
“As a fellow gamer” Etc, if they actually played the game they would see the issues we’ve been complaining about and fix them!

@MajorMike00007 I have got many personal e mails from the support where they tell that they can see why I'm reporting and it should be taken care right away but they can only direct it to EA.

Things are only going to worse every day! Wish I knew what hackers are getting out of this. On the other hand it wouldn't be too hard to make algorithm to autoban people who use only sb and mag or make more points in com then possible but it would hurt the EAs profit as now honest people are trying to compete and paying as they do so.

I'm just curious where are the lawsuits against EA from the players who have used lots of real money. I can give you screenshots and e mail conversations to back your case.

  I can just confirm this problem still exists widespread in June 2021, and still hurts the fair gamers like me.
  It is ridiculous that EA did not do much about it in many years. I have been told by other gamers within the game that there is now some auto-ban algorithm in place, but clearly it is far from enough as I still get constantly cheaters in my contest of mayors.
  I do make print screens, report them, get some nice emails from support. And that is about it. Cheaters are still in the contest winning it, even in the next round week later, happily cheating and taking grand prize. It is really bad especially for fair gamers who spend money on game, that EA let their paying customers being robbed by not taking adequate measures in timely manners.
  Certainly the worst aspect of this otherwise beautiful game.
