Johann... Welcome Aboard!
Actually getting an informative post outta SMG is akin to a miracle lol - are you a new member of staff... or have you been hiding all this time dude?!
Cheating should get kicked in the nuts - knocking them down to the bottom of the rank table, and giving them a ban, is really the only thing that will have any kind of impact on these mofos... but hopefully they are just temporary bans, otherwise you could see a marked decline in players lol
Hackers are inevitable - but usually they focus on cracking your software to get Premium features for free... the minority who use hacks to cheat can be identified quickly and easily if you code in safe-guards against highly unusual activity... like a player impossibly receiving 500 troops at the beginning of a round etc...
What have you got planned for 2018 (and why couldn't you have done it in 2017!)?
The biggest problem is one person using two accounts in a game - and is a pretty simple fix if you track IP and location...
Anyway, it's good to see that at least one person is doing some work at SMG lol!
Go Johann!
Obvious cheating occurring between Jordan Mac 3 and either 1 or both of these screen names- Vaughn Mcpunch 4, Vance the Poet 3.
Exactly FU, that's what I just said. Give players an ignore/block feature so you can just block these cheaters.
It's absolutely ridiculous how much cheating there is in this game.
Almost every game I've played with an expert or higher has had them using multiple accounts. I just had a master use his lackey account to block me from Australia so he could take it. When it's that obvious it's infuriating that you can't do anything about it.
@cjohnson596 I just tracked down that report and you are correct that that one is still outstanding. It takes us some time to get through all the cheating reports. Hence why we need the automated system. Just a heads up in most cases we do not reply with the result of the investigation.
You are free to post any cheaters here of course, I was just clearing it up for any passers by that this is not where you post to report a player.

Good morning,
I will hand that over to our support team to look into the the stats.
As said, one of the next updates will also bring a direct report button within the game and even more automated scanning systems running in the background. This is definetly the year we hit the cheaters, and we hit them hard.
We have quite exciting plans for tournaments and competitions in the long run, but it doesn't make sense before we get rid of the majority of cheaters.

Also just raised this ticket pointing out how awkward and time consuming it is simplying raising tickets on this forum.
Does anyone else find it just as frustrating?
Yes, for reference everyone. If the ticket is set to resolved, that means the investigation is complete and action has or has not been taken depending on the outcome. We reserve the right to keep the outcomes of the investigation private.
So if you think your report hasn't been looked at, check the ticket status again.

I'm out. Gameplay is ruined because of people who play two or more accounts.

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.
