Can we get an update on cheating?
In the aftermath of the videos showing how easy it is to cheat in this game, it would be reassuring to have some kind of update from CG. What is being done? Is it working at all? Community confiden...

Two months is an awfully long time to get away with cheating. It could have gone on longer, too.
CG isn’t even coming close to catching everyone. This is a pretty serious issue. More people will start fairly soon. I don’t care about temporary bans. I care about people being gone from the game. I care about a resolution.
I don’t think there will be one, though. I don’t think this is easy to track. People seem to think a replay will help. Yes, that will help when people use an insane amount of offense, defense, one shot, or no cool downs. It will not help when people add just enough offense or defense to win. I’m worried about the 57 or 58 banners earned instead of 54 or 55. I’m worried about the guy who is cheating just enough in raids to get a higher score and better loot. If a player is smart about it, a replay of just a little more offense or defense, just enough to get the win, won’t look that much different in a replay.
A non statement from EA/CG is pretty detrimental, IMO. People are upset. People don’t want their investment wasted. People will start to vote with their wallets. Not saying anything is a bad move. Just going with the status quo is a bad move since it has been outright proven that whatever was put into place to detect cheating is failing.
Finally, it’s not a sign of weakness or a bad thing to come out and say that they have indeed failed at it and will make moves to improve. However, they haven’t been the most transparent of people in the past.
