Re: WAR CHEATS! HELP

Best wishes to you and your gf, Humboldts.  I think it is sensible to not spend while these issues persist.

Our club bounces around the top 100.  We are mostly free players, a couple have bought a couple of card packs, nothing serious.  We play legit.  We have refined our play enough that we can sometimes hold our own against these massive magnet clubs, so long as they are using low-level attacks.  The clubs with Level 10 cards thankfully only have Level 10 of a couple of disasters and Magnetism isn't one of them or there'd be no chance whatsoever.  Fortunately, they are as non-skilled/non-strategic as they are immoral, and with good play we can still be a competitive opponent sometimes.

It seems every club we play has way more hydrants than we do.  I agree with your observations: playing all the time to maximum abilities and the most you can obtain is about 20 hydrants per war (and most of these are from repairs, not deliveries).

There's no way every club we face has all of its members save up and spend no hydrants for 4-6 wars in a row just so when they face our little ol' club that they all have 150+ hydrants each.  No, they are somehow collecting 150+ hydrants EACH, and doing so each war.

It's total garbage.

EA... we are on "Answers HQ".... looking for some "answers" please...

This post is in reference to Modern Thinkers City in the thread show some city love (I respect Mai and didn’t want to disrupt her theme)

Modern Thinker, shame on you...you just sent 30 to 40 “short cut takers” to a near death experience as they ran down the steps to their parents basement...oh the horror... They were scurrying down to run in depth calculations to determine the probability of your level 7 city being a better configuration than there level 18’s. Several appear to be about to have a stroke...your evil genius at work. Well played my friend, well played.

It's okay everybody...EA is "looking into it!" 

All the cheaters we have reported are still playing week in and week out, but by golly they are looking into it.  

I feel much better now.

I have patiently reported each case to EA with the same stock answer every time.  Also, I have pressed them for follow-up on actions taken for a specific case only to hear that they will not share that information....what a bunch of garbage.  Lastly, I have asked for my case to be escalated to no avail.  Bottom line, they don't care to help you and will do absolutely nothing to make things right with their most loyal players.  Shameful really.

I feel your pain, Tony.

When you are ready for more pain, I will post a video to this thread showing a human with their own flesh and blood finger scrolling (with horrendous lag) through a Global Trade HQ City's depot and what will you see...?

You'll see a cheater who has:

• Over 86+, yes 86! slots in their Depot.  They had more, but the tablet crashed before reaching the end
• All slots were full of 5x war items, for sale for $5 simoleons each.

The video producer ended up buying 115 war items for 115 simoleons before their tablet crashed again (LAG...!).

Now you know how it's done.

Cheat, cheat, cheat some more.  Then go play club wars and launch endless magnetism disasters.  Oh what fun.

And for what?  To be a troll?  I don't get it.

Apologies Tony.  I was going for dramatic effect to try and get EA's attention and I created confusion by how I attempted to do so.  I suppose I shouldn't try to do such things.

Here's the video, if it will load.  EA might not allow it to be posted, or might take it down quickly, so watch it soon, if you have a chance.

It angers me to watch, so I thought if you were mad about cheating before, this might sadly make you even madder.

Maybe people will think it's no big deal.  I'm curious what folks think.  It doesn't make me happy that I play a game with limits, and others play the game but seem to have no limits...

Hi Modern Thinker,

As I shared with one of my favorite 😉 club members, you certainly think on a different plane, which is great. Your tongue in cheek satire often goes over folks heads (by design) and absolutely gives me belly laugh, it’s great. This however is not intended to do that and I personally thank you for sharing this. I am appalled but not surprised...it’s well past time for the company to step up and deal with this type issue. For those of us who play this game to relax and enjoy the interaction with others, that actually buy their products in the market place I share enough is enough. Please understand you are losing long term players daily...loosen the ties step into the forum and share you us (part of your customer base) what you are doing to protect this game we enjoy.

I share all of your thoughts.  To answer a question that was not directed at me, I play (and continue to play) because I paid for the game.  Why should I quit and let the cheaters win?  

I too am of the sentiment that EA needs to be shamed into taking action.  That haven't seemed to have gotten the message though since I just got a $70 card pack offer.  Hmmmm....no thanks EA.  Shift some of your sales and marketing dollars over to the technical folks who can actually fix the game.

Finally, I have been playing the game less and less as it just isn't fun fighting a losing battle all the time.  If anything, the hackers have woken me up to the amount of time I have wasted on SC.

And you know what I'm sick of this  and what is EA doing report them and we will move them to a new server... mmm DISABLE MAGNATISIM FFS !!!! its obviously broken we normaly win wars but now on a 5 loss streak I'm sick of it I feel like deleting the game 

just don't spend money on the game. 

on the last war, the opponents were:

scored 1.3 million war points

- level 20 or lower (most of them)

- level 5 mag/ no high level cards

- earn war point when my team was under umbrella

- un-bubble anytime they pleased, un-bubbled any team members as they pleased

- unlimited war items

- level 22 scored 100k points in the first 5 hours, 260k total with low cards

- unlimited energy even with level 3 vampire

- bypass freeze spell and keeps racking up points

I guess there are too many reports of cheaters for admins to do anything about it.

I've spent over $600 on this game. I've spent zero in the last 2 months. I'll never spend another penny. I'll post in another few months, confirming I haven't spent a penny.  

Our current war a player with 23 lvl 15 bombs win vs that i think not

@Millseyguy33  Perhaps one of the more creative and enjoyable individuals to share in this forum is @ModernThinker. Sadly, It’s been a while since he offered his insight and unique perspective - perhaps he’s taken a sabbatical due to the cheating, hacking and hiding (not so much now) that was and is so prevalent and maybe this reference may trigger a message to him via email and he’ll step in for a minute...I miss his wisdom. Thanks for recognizing his post.

WELL another war finished opponents put up 3.5 million pts cant name cos its against the rules ...EA ur game is going straight down the toilet DO something STOP sitting on the fence honestly is this the way now let cheats rule the game
