Re: SCBI & Cheating

And we are now dealing with a Turkish cheating team. Their average team war score is over 2 million and their President has an average score of zero. He or she currently has just four cards, three at level 1 and a level 7 magnetism that is shown as scoring 650 points. After 7.5 hours they are leading 943,610 to 56,360. Their president has scored 65,650 so far. So... 100 uses of magnetism at 1x or 50 at 2x. Well, he did use it 9 times in one 30-minute period against one of our cities. It's certainly technically possible if you have access to unlimited boosters. I have no way of detecting whether he was simultaneously attacking another one of our cities. Four other enemy players have each scored over 100k so far.

@DuckupsAnd what exactly do you look for as evidence of cheating?

For example, in our current war, one of the opposing team has 402,760 points so far, which seems excessive. Their total is over 2.6 million. We are at 86k. We keep opening the lockdown, just to irritate them and pick up some cheap objects when they attack.

@Momt8Depends. You have to understand the cheating to get why you need to make them cheat. Yes, they have unlimited supplies. But. When you make them use them and they need more, they start replicating items. So yeah. It's usually when they feel threatened that they do it.

Again, it's no science. Just what we have seen and guess at.

We started a war just now... seems like half and half. But see. The half use the other half for unlimited attacks

So, could all be booted. We will see.

And again. Sometimes ea doesnt get them all and it's all out war for the rest of the time, and watching 4 or 5 take on 18 to 20 is hillarious.

And they almost succeed which is really sad. But we re report over wnd over if they keep up and hope ea comes back

Now that we are top 20. Maybe they watch more

Hackers keep trying to join us now...  we have closed our door

And this is a hacker.. ie the photo 

Love when we get hackers to over react.  They should be booted soon

13 of 14 gone. Up we go.  Merry xmas to us.  Thank you ea

Rank 14 is what it says  with the score of rank 12.  Give it day or so.. 

Guess they change rankings once a week.   Anywho.  After 10 hours we matched up with number 9.  Say bye to them.  They seem like smarter hackers,  see if they attack at all and stay number 9, or if we can get them to cheat...   they seem semi legit...  but. We will find out what ea decides

The sweepers are in.  Cleaning out top 20

This one is an odd one.   They use 1000s of mags and busts, no jps, and are on watching 11 hours straight.  Wont let us rebuild...  guess EA is done. And I guess we are too.  Hope ea is still working.  5 were booted.  Number 9 no longer exists but we ain't winning

Maybe EA gets confused

@Duckups  Of course EA and / or their contractor are confused - among other things...to allow the level of blatant cheating (not just hacking) that takes place every week to continue to occur is absolutely ridiculous and shameful. Appears to me no one is mindin’ the store...guess they’re all on a coffee break. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em boys...

@PinnacleValleyWe will stay the same rank when we lose. EA isnt saving us this time. 1.4 mill. No jps to 250k with. They have a robot watch and take anyone down that unbubbled instantly. Glad their life has meaning

@Duckups Sometimes it just catches up with you...

@PinnacleValleyOk. This is probably the highest scoring team ever that we have met. Yet. 0 jps. All mags and they are still busting and using mags

2.2 million. No jps. That is 4 million. And ea let's this one slide

We cant figure ea out either apparently

Guess no jps makes them legit all of a sudden.

2 hours left and they just bust and sunk 3 people in the 3 mins I been awake

If this team doesnt drop to 1500 elo for its hackers that were booted.  Guess we will let it sit and  use another club.

Hour and a half left.  They are pumped.  EA goofed. And seems to want hackers here.  But then.  We seem to know this.  And again NO JPS and still scoring.  Hope they drop

Now they jp and have bust 3 of us 20 times and maged in 5 mins.  Must have energy hack.  They bust me 7 times in 2 mins.  Good job EA.  

20 plus busts on me in 15 mins.  Every min another. 

EA, are these hackers or no?  Just rebuilding see what I can get before next bust

@Duckups Not much left to say...when you allow cheating to overwhelm your game and there is no visible evidence that anything is being done long term or short term for that matter to solve the issues, it’s frustrating. But there is one thing is certain...you can’t name and shame.

@PinnacleValleyThey are 9 everyone knows them, but they now have 4k elo. That is what we were after.  They changes names too.  So anywho

EA cant police their own game, or refuses. Was hoping they go back to 1500. But 5 boots wasnt enough

@1457699360We just kept rebuilding. They were robotic about it all. We didnt care about the extra points.

EA knocked em down to 4000 elo.

So these guys were ranked 50s to high 60s in war. So coming back isnt so simple if booted. We knocked em back 4 months or more.

So, could they join another group. Sure. Will it be rank 9. No. I'm sure they will tell their friends

Seems our main goal now

Happy new year to all 

Yes, HNY to all!

@Duckups 

Simple question. The answer may not be quite so simple but I do not have enough experience to know for certain.

Our level 6 team is currently up against a Spanish team of about the same level. All but one of their players have what I consider 'normal' average war scores. However, one has an average war score over 220,000. Is that sort of score always a sign of cheating? If we can get this person removed we will win easily. Otherwise, we will lose, as our collective average war score is similar to that of this one opponent.

@Momt8 Happy new year!

depends on their card level. It’s not unusual to score 220,000 if your attacks are strong enough. so the average itself can’t be a proof of cheating/hacking. 

Check their cards that require plat keys and compare it to their CoM rank. If they are level 10+ on SB or quacks you know they are cheating since you can not buy those keys and it is super unlikely they won them all through wars with that average and current war rank.

Check their attack cards and compare it to their CoM rank. If they have lv 10+ SB or quacks they are very suspicious since you couldn’t buy those keys (EA offers plat keys for the new year pack for 2021, I think it’s the first time they sell play keys?) and it is unlikely they won them all through wars/CoMs to gain that much platinum keys. 

@Momt8No. We have 3 that can do it when given a chance. 300k plus is more the sign.

Or anything over 100k with low level mags.  Like 3 to 7, which we have seen plenty of.  100 to 150k, level 3 mag.  Just silly

It all depends on preparedness. It's fine to report and hope. But dont count on it

@Momt8 Thank you for the detail. The cards level seems legit. But 220,000 average with lv7 mag seems a bit suspicious. You need to hit 200+ mags with jackpot to reach 230,000 and it requires 1,000+ war items. You need a big storage and have to stock up with items and do non-stop war deliveries, or spend a lot of real $. Or hack to gain unlimited war items...

Contest of mayors, I always check opponent’s card level, war average and CoM rank. 

@Momt8Ok, sounds like a hacker. Have everyone report with their club code.  Could take 6 to 9 hours.  Or never..

I almost feel bad for this group we are against now.  Matched a bit ago.  Ranks 30 to 75.  Be a bad weekend for them.  550k avg score for mr. 75.
