Cheating... Just a question?

Hi, this is just a question, from a player who has played since 2012/13, and paid real money at times. How many people here cheat? (Probably not going to admit that, obviously) Even amongst you top players? I may have used a glitch from time to time in gameplay, but I’ve never cheated in this game to create SP and/or LP, (obviously tempting) and to me defeats the object of the whole game, which is the challenge of it. It’s surely not a challenge if you can obtain money, SP and LP on demand to complete every challenge and always win everything. 
It’s like what is the point and it’s making a mug out of the rest of us. That’s why I believe prices for items and challenges went up drastically in recent years. Things didn’t cost that much. I am level 55 (played that long from back when the game first started), worked my way up to VIP 10 by paying for stuff. I never have billions of simoleons. And it enrages me, because it seems like EA and Firemonkeys are letting people get away with it.

    This is not a topic for AHQ

    I believe it violate the Forum rules @EA_Lanna 

    I have only been playing TSFP a couple of years

    I do not trust hacks - I've seen what it have done to similar moblie games

    Worst case was a man who got his ID hijacked, stolen along with cleaned out bank accounts

    It took him YEARS to get it back through the court before he could resume his life - no valid Identification means no employment, no housing, no nothing

    I will not risk that for a game or anything

    Prices goes up all the time, for everything

    Some of it is the cheaters, most of it is the fluctuations in the world economy and inflation

    @minicha-em How is it violating any rules. I’m not asking people to cheat, far from it. I’m wanting to know what is being done about cheating to stop it. Is that not a fair question? It’s really annoying me that it seems nothing is being done about it.

    @minicha-em Prices have gone up ridiculously but oh well, guess you’re not allowed to say that either. Economies definitely haven’t, for some of us.

    Rules and guidelines

    I get your frustration but this is not the forum for this discussion

    I don't make the rules, I just follow them

    I want to blame the cheaters for the increased prices too but it just isn't fair as that is a very small part of it

    I don't know what your country's economy is like but worldwide, prices have gone up, taxes have been added or increased over the last 10 years

    This applies to everything from fruits in the grocery store, rents for housing to electronics and digital content

    Some of it is not even on EA, they buy brackets from Google and Apple and Google/Apple up the bracket prices for consumers.

    This forum is provided by EA but is designed as Player helping Player, in this case we can not do much for you
