Has this been brought up on the forums and/or commented upon by the devs? I can't find any mention of it.Details can be found on Reddit, but upshot is that it seems some people are getting falsely flagged for cheating and having their GAC and even TB ruined as result.

Quite dumb from CG, and a real dick move from the one who put them on defense... Those are the ones who should get a ban

The problem is CG is using a bot to identify and detect cheaters and ban them. This is how people gets bans on Christmas and new years eve when clearly no humans are in the office reviewing cheater reports.The hyoda 3po wat team just retreats even if it's all relic 7 so you can use a g1 lvl 1 Cup to enter battle and win with full points.The CG cheat identifying bot sees the huge difference between the power of the defensive team and the team used to win and the bot bans the player who sent a lvl 1 character to win vs 3 non attacking retreating characters.This is the problem CG bot auto detecting cheaters. they cant even program text in a text box without messing that up so everyone should be careful what we ask for ... maybe playing with a bunch of cheaters is better than CG randomly banning people because CG cheat detector bot doesn't understand the game mechanics. Up for debate...

So don't set such a dumb squad. If you really want to hand out free wins, just set trash.

Oh the attacker is getting flagged because the unfeasibly quick win vs powerful opponents looks like h4x. Defender should get reported and receive a smack upside the head for setting it then.

Huh? Nobody is using that team on defense without being asked to place it. It’s a collusion issue.

How so? What does the person setting the team get out of this? If you asked me to set this team why would I?

As much as this is an unsportsmanlike act against another player ... it does have an amusing side to it. People who dream up this kind of stuff would do well as fault tree analysts.

What’s more believable?:

Players are using a strategy to utilize the cheating bot, of which they have limited knowledge.
Or
Players were colluding with eachother for max points and set easy teams to beat. They stumbled into auto ban territory and are now in shock over it.

Lol collusion! How do you feel about shard chats?

Because it gets other people banned? And setting something that get people banned IS quite a **** move...

It’s not their issue, it’s CG’s. It’s like if a school had spray paint sitting right next to a wall. They enabled it, and probably knew the damage it could cause. Also you can’t prove that every person did it to ban their opponent.

Well, this is why I was asking. I figure it's now well after the holidays, more than a few folks have experienced the issue and/or gotten banned...but no mention of it from the devs?

Not sure what we're supposed to do if we see an opponent sets that team on D. Give up a potential win? Report them for cheating???

Been waiting for him to answer the TB question since the last QnA. Would be shocked if he answered here.

Looks like that is just a non issue.

It is entirely possible that whoever set the team just wanted to see what would happen. I don't think we've had a situation like this before were a team auto-retreats and someone gets banned.

There's this cool mode called galactic war for testing like that. It is hard to say this was not a malicious move by the guy who placed them on D.
