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...

@CG_Erik please say something to restore my confidence after the cheating being brought to light. I have spent $9k on swgoh because it is an enjoyable hobby for me. This new information makes me uneasy.
Seconded. Probably slightly less money spent, but same problem here : I’m starting to lose my trust.
Thirded (if that's even a valid word!) I've spent a little more than that and feel the same
Y'all know this has been a thing since the game was released, right?
I actually (naively) didn't realise that at first. I did hear some stories along the way about different cheats coming into the game, but generally not till they were being dealt with (such as the mod thing in GA/TW). I have always played games on either single player or LAN with friends and family so none of us ever wanted to cheat at anything, where's the fun in that!?
This is the first game I've played to include so many different people from all over the world, it is a brilliant game and has a fantastic community!
Why would anyone want to cheat and ruin that? I just don't get it...often the best part of the game or anything in life is the journey, why bother playing if you don't want that feeling of accomplishment you only get with struggling through and coming out the other end?
Because... participation trophies.

But it's not like the rewards are THAT brilliant, it's just bragging rights....which in the scheme of things doesn't really mean anything. In the meantime, people like me who have fairly well developed rosters, but still have lots of room for improvement, that used to really enjoy the challenges of the PVP events, end up feeling really rather annoyed, and disillusioned about the whole game. These cheats are basically ruining the game for everyone else.
I've actually spent ages going through opponents rosters after losing GA rounds trying to work out what on earth was used to get through my teams given what was in defence for me to get through. I guess, at least now i know there aren't loads of brilliant counters out there that i hadn't even thought of or heard about!! :(
