Can we get an update on cheating?

Well they are aware of it now, so let’s see what they say about it. As long as it’s something new is being done, it should be fine. They know their old methods aren’t working now, so they should be working on new plans to prevent this

They’ve been aware of it since the game was created. The version I used has been around for 14 months. There were other versions before that. They just didn’t feel the resources needed to stop it were worth it.

Basically now everyone who loses a match, be it in GAC, arena, fleet, or lose a top 10 finish in sith raid can and will suspect someone cheated regardless of the score. Because the smart cheaters don’t make it obvious the outcome can only be due to cheating.
Is CG ready to handle hundreds of thousands of suspected cheating tickets daily? Is this the can of worms we are going open? Better put a solid lid over this one real fast...

The 'can of worms' was opened, when swgoh lost it's status as 'unhackable system'...

So... the day it was released?

I appreciate what @Bulldog1205 did. I guess I'm just dumb but didnt know this could happen.

I also know from experience that there is a huge difference in both time and expense dedication between "working on it" and "fixing it." I hope CG chooses the "fixing it" path.

This is a nightmare. :s

I've only had to GAC matches that I thought was fishy, but for all I know everyone I have ever met could have cheated! - And no one will ever know. How much have we all lost in rewards? How much have we invested in a failed attempt to beat the unbeatable?

Until this is addressed/resolved, I will not spend money on the game. :'(

@Kyno the problem is that a lot of us have spent a lot of money in this game, with the belief that the cheating was not as widespread as the videos have shown to be. That is a huge problem, as we are now seeing CG has known about the issue and kept mum while collecting our money. How can I truly trust any result in GA at this point?

They have not kept silent about this, they have openly stated they are looking at this and have always been working to keep tabs on and stop it.

Any time you have felt that your opponent has not been "on the level", please feel free to report this to CG_Leviathan.

@Kyno their explanation of what was occurring and what we are seeing from these videos do not match up AT ALL.

Addressing singular occurrences and addressing the wider issue are two separate things. We’ve all seen how easily and brutally this game can be manipulated now, and that needs CG communication

I wonder how many fraudulent 7* Padmes are about to happen with this going on...

I think any evidence of hacked games should result in permanent ban. Deletion of the offending account and IP being logged and put on watchlist for any further account creation. Shouldn't take much investigation to prove a hacked game file
