Limit on buying & selling war supplies?

The dead clubs were seen in A1-3 when we reset the club (due to all the obvious hackers that infested A5 at that time).

@BlazinsZ Hey, I completely understand the appeal of a feeder (even outside of the application of helping with club wars), but I just think the writing is on the wall, here. 

I don’t think EA can state plainly that “feeders are illegal” because, as someone else pointed out, they would then have to clearly define what constitutes a feeder and then justify applying that definition to any city they would then designate a feeder and remove to Naughty Island. That just opens them up to all kinds of PR disasters and additional work in trying to investigate this when we already know they’re loathe to investigate real cheating. They don’t currently have and won’t invest in the manpower required to do that for millions of cities.  

I don’t think we can mistake this move of limiting war items sales as anything other than what it is: an attempt to curtail feeder activity. Again, we can disagree on what cheating is or isn’t as it relates to what is or is not in their terms of service, but the fact remains, EA clearly does not want us using additional cities for competitive advantage, even if we are not hacking, and even if it is done to actually combat the hacking they themselves won’t stop. 

I got 4 cities on 4 different phone/tablet. 4 different level , one is only level 11 and it will stay like that because I get buy stuff for my other cities. I spend real money instead of hacking. I put times in cities that I build. EA should focus on HACKERS !!!! and not players that are spending money in the game. 

This is the biggest mistake EA made and it will * of players of that great game.

No EA response, just report requests. "We work to make your life better."

It is a waste of my time to discuss here. Nothing will improve. I'm going back to play with my friends.

I agree with @robotechnology80. I will never spend a single zloty on SimCity BuildIt. Application errors or hackers are something else, but I will never forgive disrespect and censorship.

Hey all! I'm just feeling the need to point out that Answers Headquarters is a player-helping-player forum. EA / SimCity BuildIT developers don't directly answer questions here. AHQ is a great place for discussing the changes, but if you want them to respond to your questions directly you may want to try Twitter or Facebook instead (or filing a request on their support page) 

I think no one here realizes HOW people hacked war items. You did it by setting the quantity of the item to 2. Then revaule it to 1 to filter through the 128 🏈 results it would give you. Once you did this you could find the exact 1 for that item. Then change its value to whatever. But now not being able to increase it quantity you can’t filter it. AND it give you random different ratios as well when you can only search for 1. 

@PinnacleValley 

Very well-said. Yes, I still remember you answering my question on whether feeders are legal.

To me, feeders are no different from cheaters. Cheaters hack the system to gain an advantage while feeders misuse the system to gain an advantage.

Players going to other clubs to buy war items is one of the reasons why I reject every single request to join my club. Even if I accept, I will clear out all war stuff from my teammates’ stores beforehand. There was once a new member mentioning that she had a feeder club, I ejected her out immediately despite her impressive stats.

They can give whatever justification to their choices.

@J6niceL  Thanks for the kind words my friend, sadly the messenger always gets shot... Something I never shared was that if I had received a different response from EA we had 5 very strong clubs lined up to participate collectively with members trading through the collective feeder club and the members could compete in any of the 5 club’s wars...each club would provide 3 feeders for a 15 member club to support 5 - 12 member clubs - I believe we could have handled anything thrown our direction (except hackers) as all 5 clubs were in the top 200 at the time. No cheaters, no bubble boys...but collectively we felt it would give us perhaps an unfair advantage and since the leadership of each club are honorable individuals we collectively decided to ask the simple question. We got our answer and elected to follow the rules...so when I get attacked for this message I simply smile because it is just a reflection of the individual and yes you’re correct it is cheating in the truest sense of the word. That said, shame on EA for not enforcing what they stated in writing... Take care.

If they are kicking cheaters finally, this is a useless update.    Just punishes the rest of us.   

I get it limits people's storage to 20 instead of 300.   So maybe it's a help, but if they can see the cheat.  Kick em,  and done, right?
