Cheats/Hackers in Contest of Mayors

Same thing happened to me as well. A player came out of nowhere and topped me in a few hours remaining of the contest by over 15000. And this was after I did every maximum point challenge. So I don't put much effort into it anymore. Only thing that keeps me playing is the group I am in.

The time zone of when the contest starts and ends needs to be addressed. As it stands now, it favors the Asian time zone. They should alternate it between there and the North and South American time zone to make it more fair.

Hi. My nick Саммит. What do you think about this?. See screenshot.

My place is 4. You can see on this screenshot.

i agree with most not all of comments above. i stopped complaining because there are a big handful of players who are greedy and buy their way to #1 thru #5 spots each COM.

they buy and pay to get the required amount of supplies to get #1 spot. just for those few tokens/keys.

it doesn't stop there. i see this one guy at klondike adventures marathons in #1 spot all the time. lol. he just buys all supplies. greedy and authoritarian. smh.

i won't let that stop me because i just play for fun now. that includes leveling up too.

i helped two females in my region to level up and they didn't even thank me nor act like they know me now. lol. who cares?

it's just a game and there will always be someone making a cheater app for games.

i know that i am not cheating and level up by my own working so i appreciate the game and just enjoy myself. good luck people!

Hi guys!

During the last CoM I saw a player over 300k points one day before the end of the contest. Check the screenshot.

Is that ok? Why don't you do anything against the cheaters? Lot of us are playing over 4 years, doing the contest an other things without cheats. It's not so funny, to finish the CoM megalopolis league at the 50th playce because of some cheaters.

Okay, i'm fine with that you can't do anything against them, but in this case you should create a "Cheaters League" over the Megalopolis, and this guys could play there. Give'em higher prices than in the Megalopolis, and they will go there immediately. It can be really easy to enter the Cheaters league, just finish the contest over 225k point in the Megalopolis League. 😉 And the real players can calmly play further ...

Thanks anyway.

Lately I had been observing a lot of hackers winning every top 3 spots in every contest of mayors I participated in. Those people simply are using a hacking program that allows them to score pretty much unlimited points in the amount of minutes. Multiple reports to EA Zen Desk are getting standard answer and then we see same hackers every week for months. I lost 4 players from my club that simply left the game for good because they no longer could compete with hackers that hack contest and war cards. EA can simply prevent that hacking by storing everyone’s contests and war cards on their server rather than individual devices that can be easily manipulated. Please, let me know when the problem of hacking/cheating and inaction from ZenDesk will be resolved. Thanks. 

That is a great suggestion, anyone who scores above 190,000 points should be automatically removed from contests, let alone 300,000 points... Shame on you, EA!

I see the same thing. Getting a high score of over 200,000 in less then 3 days. Impossible! I reported it but see the same player still active in this weeks contest. Usually top 3, like you said, are questionable. My frustration has eroded my desire to play this game anymore. Time to move on.
