Is anything being done about cheaters/hackers?

honestly EA likely doesn't care because it's not that bad where every 2nd player is doing it.. they still make a ton of money off the large majority of players that don't hack..

to be honest i don't care about the hackers either.. it's not like hacking in a first person shooter where it's ruins my experience this doesn't affect me and it doesn't affect EA either really.

hacking the game would completely ruin it for me. if i suddenly had unlimited donuts and could get anything i want i would completely lose interest in this game.

So you think it's perfectly fine that people are hacking the game?

it doesn't affect me at all so i don't really care.

Well, good to know that you support hackers and cheaters then.

Glad we're on the same page then.

i don't really think EA can even do anything about it

Apparently you are unaware of sarcasm.

Any way, who cares? Move on with your life, it's a smartphone game.

You'll eventually realize that repetitive sarcasm is not an effective way to argue, and really just makes you sound like a spoiled teenager with nothing important to say to anyone.

Hacking is an issue with The Simpsons Tapped Out, that is apparent. But what MaxxSpider was suggesting--and this is the attitude most people do or at least should have--is that unlike other games, TS:TO isn't a competitive multiplayer game; one person's town has no impact on another's. There are no leaderboards, no competitive matches, nothing that should really get you bent out of shape over the fact that someone else is breaking the rules.

However, I do understand the frustration that comes with having to pay for things that someone else is getting for free. I can tell you right now that EA does care about hackers because Donuts cost money, and hacking the game to obtain premium currency is literally stealing. But also remember that TS:TO is a casual, freemium game, and the vast, vast majority of players are not hacking anything. Just because you've run across a decent amount of them on the web means nothing when you consider how many millions of players have downloaded and played this game legitimately.

If you run across a hacker, and have actual proof, I would suggest PMing a mod with the link and/or evidence. The mod can then take a look and forward the evidence up the food chain to the community manager at EA if it's warranted for possible actioning.

At least on the NHL and Madden forums, that's how we handle cheaters.

I can't see EA doing anything about it, how would they tell? Go through millions of accounts one at a time and see if they tie up with what they have purchased?

Personally i couldn't see the problem with having loads of free donuts, as long as you dont use them to speed up. I think speeding up is what ruins the game. I have a fair amount of donuts that i have aquired over time which is no different really, free or not i was getting everything in the premium list one way or another.
