    I’m sure this is directed at me and I already posted previously how I absolutely 100% used to cheat. I haven’t in years (I believe 19 was the last time i used the lxp glitch and I lost all my XP eventually)I’m not going to get into a debate about glitches and other things. Glitches are glitches. I have less of an issue with that given your explanation it’s a error they created. It’s when people go out of their way to exploit things where the issue comes in. In the end it doesn’t matter, nothing will change. As you said, they only acted because it was taken too far and people got greedy. I think their news post was disingenuous and and they don’t really plan on acting on anything unless it goes too far again.

    na man I wasnt singling anyone out at all. I agree with you, what was going on lately was wrong. But then the debate comes down to what accepted and whats not. We've all been around a long time, and the even GLU entertained this idea. The best thing for them to do, it sell there own auto tapper. Plain and simple, they would make a killing on it. Charge 20$ a week for it, just like we pay for FP, and watch the $$ roll in. The fact they put a cycle limit on the game defeats the purpose of guys exploiting it like in years past. So why wouldnt you partner up with one of the thousands of companies that make them and make it exclusive to your game? who knows... Please dont tell me they have morals, cause we all know thats a big load of shit.

    Just my guess is they don’t want to encourage people to cycle more. I don’t do 2 a day. Rarely does that happen. With something like that I’d certainly do 2 a day. But we’ll see. I don’t know what their intentions are long term.

    Well we know that they entertained this idea in the past, even recently... Why wouldnt they jump on it, it would be their greatest profit stream by a land slide. Even more then Fp when it was first introducded.

    Guess they forgot to setup the event today. 

    Must be those darn cheaters' fault.

    So I had a guy message me about 5min ago, and called me a cheater. (along with 4 other ppl from random clubs). We just did a 4 way tie in EB and he said thats not possible and called us all cheaters because we all had identical points and tied for 1st. lol.... I think that public message will do more harm then good. Because alot of the casual players have no idea how to play or understand the game dynamics. I can see lots of people getting caught up in this witch hunt. Perfect example, my nephew has been jailed more then in the last 3-4 years then some of the biggest cheaters in this game, no BS. Never done anything wrong, not a VIP, watches videos and been jailed many times. Luckly thanks to BlueLeo we were able to review the account and see nothing was ever done to warrant such action but this happens all the time to people who dont have the same know-how.

    Bottom line again, this public message will do nothing but flood CS with acquisitions and start witch hunts. I saw someone post about scoring points too fast? I can tell you, as will many others. With the right sets and moments. I can easily score over 1b pts with just 1 single game. Its very easy to do.

    My argument to it would only be it’s just another thing you’re “forced” to buy. I actually discussed it with other people, I think it should be included with your all star level. My reason being is, if they can’t stop people from doing it as is, why in the hell would I pay to do something others do for free? If they included it at a reasonable all star level I think that would make more sense and make it feel not as bad.

    Man, I thought this was going to be a thread with some sweet @tshea510 pics ...or maybe a meme or three, something.  This isn't where I parked my car...



    Also, ladies PM me
    Just no.

    So the benefit to the cheaters is the ability to roll up humongous scores by auto tapping and by getting all the bonus players maxed out because they either load the players illegally or load boatloads of gold which gives them the ability to buy as many boxes as they want without spending money.  All for the glory of seeing their name in lights on the TSB leader boards.

    I think some guys need girlfriends...
    Much easier to get chicks in global when you're world ranked.

    I think this is fair. It’s not difficult to score fast and not cheat. If you have the moments set up correctly and have the right sets (not even the top sets in a lot of cases) you can score. I’d agree that message may have some negative impact given there will just be wild accusations, and as you said, what constitutes cheating and who will they act on? It’s a slippery slope, and truthfully not sure that message was warranted unless there is 0 tolerance regardless vip level.

    I still don't really understand what happened. 

    Some guy named Baowser loaded some gold, Glu sent a nasty news message (but mostly looked the other way if your AS ranking was above X number), prices were raised for non-cheater accounts, glu profited and the jokes on us, and then guys scored hot chicks on global.

    Does that summarize?

    Glu isn’t going to come out and say what happened, I don’t even know who Baowser is. But I assure you it wasn’t one guy, unless he was just the loader. A few weekends ago a lot of Black Diamond got hit for loading gold. But yeah, End of the day I think their post wasn’t really warranted. Because they aren’t classifying what is and isn’t cheating so, all I take this is is don’t load an over abundance of gold and you’re fine. 
  • xracmanxracman Registered Users, Member 666 Posts
    Cheating in TSB is like porn, you know it when you feel dirty about it right after you're done and you clear your browser history from your wife.   

    WAIT A MINUTE "browser/baowser".  Coincidence?????  I think not.  
  • JEDDDOGGYJEDDDOGGY Registered Users, Member 2,460 Posts
    Black Diamond was manipulating bonus points. Didn't know they were also loading gold and wasn't even aware that could be done at this point.

    I talk a lot like im a huge ***hole that just wants to poke glu with a stick, and that may be true, but im also passionate about the game and want to see it improve. 

    If guys are loading large amounts of gold, that definitely takes away from Glu's bottom line, and they don't "make up for it elsewhere" like has been suggested. Any manager at any level who is reporting Financials to a level above them cannot just say "Don't worry about that wave of cheating/stealing that we let happen, boss... it's no big deal, we'll just swindle the honest customers to make up for it"... that person would be fired on the spot lol

    Wasn’t really gonna weigh in I think most everything has already been said. However IMO glu cracking down on cheating is nothing more than attempt to save face. A growing problem they could no longer ignore. Nothing changes put it in the news make examples out of a few players/clubs and then it’s business as usual. 
    They simply dumped a few buckets 🪣 of water 💦 on a house fire. 
    . Quite possibly more about “we do not condone cheating” vs actually fixing cheating issues. Anyway…🍻

    Could be true, just going off what I heard. End of the day, I’m sure they were doing multiple things and as I said, I’m sure they aren’t the only ones. I just don’t see them going on a jailing rampage because a lot of them are big spenders.

    The other concern is, does their CS have the intelligence, capabilities maybe, to deal with these accusations. I think that could be where a lot of innocent players will get screwed. Their CS can't even handle a simple claim more and less an accusation of cheating. That definitely won't go well for the one being accused.

    Way more entertaining than the event. I did get through PP once and cycled woh 5 times. Even though it’s easy it was still painful.

    But when the WOH “prize” isn’t even a bonus player in WOH……that’s freaking, sadly, laughable.
