Cheaters

Nice rant. Feel better. Another thread about hacking.

well I am not talking about the hacking itself, but more the amount of care they actually have for what they have made in this game.
Yankee I agree with you!

Now, I am a long time player of this game. I have saved up and bought every block of land, saved up for the super expensive items and bought small amounts of donuts here and there.
Last years Valentines event locked me out for weeks, but when I finally got back in the game hung on the level up screen and gave me thousands of free donuts. This is as close to cheating as I came, though the game wouldn't let me proceed, all I could do was sit there tapping collect. Figured it was payment for keeping me locked out for so long, forcing me to make a new Springfield. Other players experienced the same glitch.
Either way, I am pathetic and have put so many hundreds, possibly thousands of hours into this, do the cheaters have half of the sense of pride in their Springfield's?
I don't think I would want "unlimited donuts"
I just wouldn't care as much about what I have done, it would bore me.

Just to let you know, you had what was called the "harpies", as that was the sound you heard when you tried to log in. It was a major problem back then, and just about everyone who got it, eventually got back in with hundreds/thousands of donuts to show for it.

Haha yes! I always have my phone on silent but was told about the harp sound. I just saw the loading donut freeze and that's it, didn't hear the harp. It was fantastic that we got the free donuts after many weeks of being locked out.
Sweetest moment of the game for me, I admit.

I admittedly cheat, and my town is in the process of getting a full redesign, with the help of screenshots from the show.

I wouldn't admit to that on here if I were you.

Only people with an iPhone5 got the thousands of donuts glitch. Me being on an iPod touch got squat after the fix and I was locked out for 3 weeks. However I was able to get a refund from iTunes on my boatload. So justice was served, I guess :?

The only problem I have with cheaters is that they don't share their cheats...

Did you contact ea? At Christmas when the game glitched and didnt give me the building from the wheel, I persuaded ea support they wanted to give it back to me plus some doughnuts.
