EA sort out the cheats
Is there any point in reporting cheats to EA? Following a war this weekend it was clear that several of the opposition were cheating using the magnetism hack and what appeared to be a continuous sup...

It’s even more obvious when they are at level 18-25 with multiple level 20 Disasters . It’s rare but I’ve seen people removed during Wars maybe 3 times since its inception, I’m sure it’s an on going battle for them too. It is discouraging though, for those who legitimately participate’
Yes I’ve seen that too - once had a war with an entire team with Level 20s but they are often more subtle so not obviously cheating. My point is that on receipt of report an AI algorithm could work out if any level 20 is legit (could possibly have paid?) if not removal. Include right of appeal doesn’t involve any human moderation and could be done instantly. When you report and nothing happens it’s really frustrating and you just end up getting slaughtered in an unwinable war!
Do EA ever respond to these posts?
- I reported already nearly 30 cheater clubs. But EA is doing nothing. Still all reported clubs are playing and cheating. The most of the cheaters have the Mag., the mellow bellow and the shieldbuster. The disaster cards they can maybe buy with a lot of real money. But not the golden keys. And for Mag. and Mellow Bellow you need together nearly 11k. No chance for a city with lvl. 18 to 30. They don't have the resources to do that. You don't need AI to see this. The only thing you need is "you want to see it". And EA doesn't want. That's the problem!
Yep! EA don’t care. Our last war was the same. Level 18 cities with level 20 mags, mellow bellow and shield busters. Reported them but no action taken. I told my team not to waste war supplies and let them knock us down.
Could you explain this *cheat* a little?
Not enough to inform peeps how to do it but how to know if the other team is cheating?
Recently we lost a war and it was insane that they had so many boosters and scored so many points especially since they were newer players
- with a city at lvl 18 to 30 you don't have the resources as warehouse, factories and so on to produce items to buy war items. You don't have the possibility to create enough golden keys. For Mag at lvl 20 you need 3694 and for Mellow Bellow 7388. It's impossible to create such an amount of golden keys at city lvl 18 to 30. And you can't buy them. Not with Simoleons and not with real money. You have to create them.
For the disaster cards it's a bit different. These you can buy with real money. But think about the amount of real money. Mag. needs 4812 disaster cards and Mellow Bellow 5155 disaster cards. Nobody will spend soo much money. And it's impossible for a city at lvl 18 to 30 to grab such an amount legally and in such a short time frame. Normally it took years, even you're at city lvl 99.
Therefore, if a city at lvl 18 to 30 has 3 or sometimes up to 8 disasters at lvl 20 is definitely cheating.
Normally they have Mag., Mellow Bellow and Shieldbuster. And endless of war items and boosters at lvl 3. And often it's a private club. So nobody can join.That’s a great explanation thanks
