Edited: no IGN please

Hi and Welcome,

If you suspect someone of cheating please report to support you can place ss here but not with IGN

@Candyza I had to edit your post for the implied language as well as the screenshot showing player names as per FORUM RULES AND GUIDELINES. Please review this information before posting again.

If you suspect someone of hacking, you can submit your screenshots to support for investigation. For your own safety, we ask that you not post the names to the public forums.

Do you really believe there's still any room for "suspicion" with level 9999.

That these posts continue to appear only proves that SP does not give a &#*^ about it.

@Stilor What do you suggest us to tell people when they find a hacker? Ignore it?

At least, I suggest not to call it a "suspect". And yes, I think reporting it is pretty pointless. SP is not going to weed them out; if they wanted to, a simple filter in combat would have precluded dragons with level > 40 from participation.

So an honest response would've been:

"You can report it to Social Point, but they are not going to lift a finger to get rid of the hackers nor are they going to reimburse you any resources you waste because of their bugs. Don't waste your time and move over."

In fact, I'd suggest to have a pinned post titled "Encountered a hacker? See here." with the above content.

@Stilor I reported many and I am sure they removed them. I do not agree.

I do not agree either, I have seen many removed. Not as many as are out there. But I do agree that better filters would help to do half their work for them.

Also, if us moderators used the tone and wording you suggested we would no longer be mods.

An oath of fealty being a part of the deal with the devil?

No that comes from the expectations and rants we get from some of the users. Some act like we do not have experience or opinions of our own or that we are on the payroll of SP.

@Stilor I am a third who thinks you are wrong. SP actually does use some filtering that autobans some hacking scripts but it is not as easy as you seem to think it is. Hacks and cheats are available for probably every single game out there and have been probably going back as far as computer gaming itself. As fast as the companies detect the hackers scripts, they are developing new ways of cheating and anti detection scripts.

It’s pretty ludicrous though to say that software developers don’t care about hackers who are putting some serious dents into their profit margin, and in the next post will say the company cares about nothing but turning a profit.

We've been there and discussed that. You can (a) prevent the breach and (b) mitigate the amount of damage caused by a breach. (a) is hard, indeed. Even big boys in SW industry fall prey to hackers. The latter can be achieved with fairly simple measures. E.g., the list of dragons and their stats (rating, level, trained attacks) obviously come to the client from a server, so nothing prevents the server from checking that level being under 40 and automatically reporting & banning the account.

One theory I saw discussed on FB page was that SP wouldn't ban a hacker if he ever spent any real money on the game; they'll remove that person from one's heroic race, for example, but wouldn't ban the account. This explanation fits perfectly what I am saying.

@Stilor ...such a relatively simple thing to combat, yet literally THOUSANDS of games are hacked at a cost of MILLIONS. Maybe they should just hire you to tell them how to fix it.

...and yet you depend on FB to get all of your news, rumors, and updates. Oh well, if it’s on FB, must be true.

They're welcome to reach out and discuss my rate.

You do understand the meaning of the word "theory", right? If not, a dictionary is your friend.

@Stilor For what do we have a discussion here? I will close this thread now.
