SMG Studio

I have reported all the cheaters that I know for sure in the game because some of them are very obvious. However, this issue has yet to be resolved. I would like to be able to get back into the game after being wiped so that I can see the end of the game and figure out who's cheating for real. This game is not fun at all if people cheat and I am considering to find something else more entertaining and healthy to play.

I agree Jim, it is pretty much making the game unplayable and no fun. They need to find a solution otherwise most of us are going to just quit.

 

If you remove the option to allow players to play together ((join as friends), then yes this would remove that option to exploit that feature. Still saying it's not cheating, as in something SMG should fix.

I do think it would be a good option to remove joining with friends as this is being exploited WAY TOO MUCH!

Saying playing on two devices is an exploit, as in not fixable. You can't fix a person from being a loser when playing a game. You can fix a cheater who uses a hack or program to roll all sixes.

 

There is a difference between an EXPLOIT and a CHEATER!

- Only one is fixable!

 

 

Tbmann81,

 

To make this apple to apples...

You say basketball, ok, say eight people, eight hoops, highest score wins.

But, one person decides to throw the game and help another player, even so blatantly to make shots in the other person basket, very obvious.

- Not cheating, just very cheat game play, and a very poor winner/loser.

 

Read the rule book, and you wont find it saying you can't do that, so not even a referee issue.

Even in the NFL you can run in the wrong direction, and the referee will let you.

 

Same for Risk, the other player is still playing by the rules, and using the same dice.

 

Where or when is SMG supposed to step in and fix it. I'm saying they can't, as it's just a player playing dirty, but not cheating.

SMG can only fix cheats!

 

 

Guillaume Soucy, 

 

You ask who cares of it's an exploit or a cheater.

I say it's very important to understand the difference, as you can't fix an exploit as it's a playing by the rules but playing unfair or cheap.

 

If anyone can show me the rule nook saying one player cannot help another, then I would almost agree he is cheating, but still not fixable.

Matt L - Would you say that if you signed up to play a 1 on 1 game of basketball that it was cheating if your opponent brought another player to help him? You know, someone to spread the floor, grab rebounds, things like that?  The two players are not equally trying to win. If you could watch til the end of a game, you would see one would just quit as soon as all the other players were gone. That is the cheating that is occurring in some of these games and it is definitely fixable. They can make the room assignments random based on what board and style you want to play. They can enable a better chat.

I also want to say that I have played hundreds of games and only ran into this type of cheating 6-7 times. Some people say it is rampant but I don't see it. There are a ton of assholes in this world (and if you are cheating like this on a mobile game, you are a bit of an asshole), it is nice to call one out once in awhile.  

 

So what cheat is being used?

- Did anyone roll all sixes every roll?

- Did anyone have unlimited troops?

- Did anyone have GOD mode enabled, and you can't attack them?

- Did anyone take over your game?

Did anyone actually cheat, and what was the cheat?

Two players playing together is cheap, but it's called an EXPLOIT, and not fixable.

As long as both players are rolling the same dice as you, and complying with all the same rules as you, whats the cheat?

Note, I don't like allying, and I typically don't ever ally, but I do at least understand an EXPLOIT vs a CHEAT!

Everyone needs to stop yelling at the developers to fix an exploit, which isn't fixable.

It's like asking a loser to stop being a loser, and start playing more honest.

- Its a character flaw, but still not cheating!!!
