Can we get an update on cheating?

They have stated they have implemented new tools to investigate cheating and there is no way to stop someone from trying to alter local code. The tools are new and still require investigations into the activities and a human being

The post from the Devs dates to early June. The testing by Bulldog lasted two months, ergo the tools were already in use. That’s what’s is worrying.

Fixing the hack might take some time. In the meanwhile, what just add a feature that allow player to see what opponent squad were used in each GAC battle. We can report suspicious matches.

Four years isn’t enough time??

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...

No biggie...everybody convinced that the matchmaking was causing them to lose their battles can now seamlessly blame cheating, instead. Well, until one of those factors gets fixed, anyway...

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

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.

So... the day it was released?

They don't exist anywhere tho

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.
