Contest of Mayor Hackers

There needs to be a way to control hackers that cheat the contest of mayor events. Players from Poland and Russia are skyrocketing up the leaderboard within the final hours of the contest to achieve the top 2 or 3 spots. It is not possible to amass that many points without having a cheat in place.

Is there anyway to monitor the number of points gained per minute to determine if these players are cheating the system and have them booted? I am honestly losing interest in a game that doesn't regulate this in some manner.

  • @urbantiger32 To my understanding it is difficult to ‘cheat’ seeing as we are logging into the EA servers as opposed to having the entire game data on our devices which would then make it much easier to cheat the game, my guess is these players are probably a bunch of rich kids who have dumped a bunch of real money into the game and are buying the items needed to win all those challenges.. also maybe try working out your strategy like start making items in your factories for challenges you plan on doing down the road, buy items in market place that you may need, sometimes hitting on an item will bring you to another players market where they may actually have the item you want, don’t just look on the market page that the game loads, also when one of the challenges says “upgrade an OMEGA home” (or any building) try doing a new build somewhere, hit the bubble with the hat & check mark, these tend to only require 1-2 items to construct and that will give you the points fast then tear down the place right away, always an easy way to get 1000 points

    i dont think the cheaters/hackers are only out of country because there are (unnamed) individuals who used to buy out All my items at my trade depot and get credit for making them for the COM tasks so they are not spending all their money. now i Cannot make items no more because of those cheaters and have lost my place in trying to level up at COM at all. frown.

    @roccodonovan8 What I think he meant was for other missions besides production...such as cargo, air shipments, etc. You can purchase for these. I have done it and it let me use it for the tasks. I have gone up straight up the ladder (maybe not first place, second was all I was able to manage) in a short period of time by quick succession of tasks...one right after the other. You just have to have all your ducks in a row before accepting the task. There are most likely hacks in the game. For example, I have never been able to price any of my merchandise at some of the levels I see...but what can you do? It can get tiring, though, and the boredom of searching through the marketplace for supplies is driving me nuts.
