Cheaters : 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.

So many grandmasters are cheaters. Most of the time 2 grandmasters and 1 intermediate by the same player. Frustrating. Should be easy to check the playing-history of all the grandmasters and kick the cheaters out.

Johan, as a grandmaster myself, I don't think you are right about cheating. Experience gives players an advantage. I've played about 1500 games, and I think I've only played a single person using multiple accounts a handful of times. (When I take out 1 player and another immediately quits is when I draw that conclusion.) I win most games because I play better than most other players. I suspect sour grapes over losing makes you think more people are cheating than actually are. (And yes, I play under my real name.)

Heber Masterson 2 (Expert) is a pathetically obvious cheat with Milly1946!(novice). He didn't even take the time to TRY to make it look real. Novices don't act as guards for your flanks with no benefit to themselves. Does he think we are stupid?

A simple solution, in global domination mode allow for 1v1 battles. The multiple device cheaters are ruining this otherwise fun game and ultimately will be the demise of this game. It is very offputting to play a game in which it's extremely obvious you are playing against a player on two devices!

I've had much better luck avoiding cheaters by starting my own games and eliminating novices. I've been able to get 6 player games going this way and have not noticed much, if any, blatant cheating going on.

Jketonen and Dustin Mays cheat... Playing two accounts and it is obvious. I usually try to avoid playing a game when I join and the first two joining are same level, like Masters or Expert because they are so frequently cheaters but sometimes I just don't have enough time to leave before they click start. It really is no fun playing with cheaters.

@Roccocoty I feel your pain. How frustrating it is to find a game with a grandmaster and master only to realize they are one cheater. Also congratulations on reaching the esteemed rank of master. At that high level it's important for your rank to play against high level opponents but too many times they have not earned that rank fairly. Because of the need for high quality games I am organizing a group of players ranked expert or better to play risk together. No cheating just high quality risk that's good for your rank. See http://smgstudio.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/11000012564 for details. And check out our latest comments here http://smgstudio.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/11000012564/page/last#post-11000062867 Anyone else ranked expert or better is also more than welcome to join us.

CHEATERS: "GrandMaster" Jules the Petite 7 and its "Expert" sockpuppet Ferd Esquire 8.

Master here. Hard earned. Faced some cheating before. Never cared much. Never ever cheated, myself, because what fun is that? Suspected cheaters before who had "plowed" into me or "hounded" me for no particular reason or rationale.

I always host.

A couple of hours ago: Intermediate joined second. Then, poof, a "GrandMaster" and an "Expert" joined together. I sensed something was off but first time seeing a GM. I delved in. I was suspicious from the start. Started taking screenshots. EFFING BASTARDS!!!!

I'm not sure what is worse? Cheaters or the fact that smg won't do anything about these asshat cheaters. Fix this please SMG, you have a potentially great platform but you are letting it slip through the cracks. These assholes are clearly colluding and I dropped 30,000 rank points. It's frustrating as hell to have fight hard to get a decent ranking and then drop off so much in one battle.

Just for clarification:

- We look into each reported case (support ticket), and if there is a smoking gun, it has consequences for the cheaters - with a ban being the max. penalty.

- As for hackers, this can't be really avoided, as any Android App can be reverse-engineered to a certain degree. We are trying to push app aupdates more frequently in order to make the hacker's life harder.

- We are also working on a system making it for cheaters harder to get into games with honest players.THis is planned for the first quarter of 2018.

Best,

- Johann@SMG

You don't get banned because of one report. You get banned for many reports and/or being found out. So either you continuously dick people over to or you really were colluding.
