Is there a plan to to control Sim City Build It cheating?

Surely, blatant abuse of these apps can be addressed with monies entering this app.

It is certainly the #1 reason that players are growingly upset.

In 2023, can AI bots not expose gross exposure of the software hacking?

I submitted a screen shot of just one city of attack cards with low war rank and low city size.

Honestly it’s making EA look incompetent to address it.

    Interesting discussion, I did wonder how some of these guys had either the time or cash to put together some of the cities and war chests required. Increasingly a war consists of getting a few shots on, maybe knocking one or two opponents down then being smashed at a rate you have to spend so much time recovering that you spend most of the campaign doing two full rebuilds and have no time for anything else. Always assumed that they effectively cheated by spending a lot of money on extras but in reality those who chose to do that for whatever reason and pay should be protected from actual cyber cheats.

    Increasingly also rather than a couple of basic items to repair a building now it's advanced items you have to search long and hard for or have three levels of waiting whilst the raw materials get through the process which isn't practical in the time.

    We get they want you on it all day and watching adds and paying but even then progress would probably be slow, and if competitors are doing dodgy hack unprotected then it's basically fraudulent to take people's money for the rest of it.

    @bi62n2yxifhb The cheaters have no knowledge of the game play. They get onto a high scoring bot and roll over any challenge. We had not one but two wars where the teams had less than 100,000 pop yet each and every attack was a mag, one was worth 3280, really? You heard me richt, each war attack was a mag , except for the open up attack. I photoed it up for ea to see and am waiting on an explanation how they could be under the dome and still attack.

    @Player_FL_Dave They win a lot we don’t think about. Besides the average post wins, the win huge amounts of cash, albeit play cash that they can use to purchase buildings etc. one team I played with briefly were snooty and one member obnoxious to me, I didn’t last lone, but the higher the score the bigger the prizes. Little medals bronze, silver or gold, who needs them when they get 100’s of dollars a game nd they fly thru appointments.
