My alliance is rank 3 have never done a 2* war, and have spent way more than the occasional buyer, but we would fall into that category of why should we spend if this goes unpunished. There is no reason for us to try to improve our roster or buy boosts and potions if we can just do 2* wars.
At some point the cheaters are going to have to own the fact they have cheated. They have taken advantage of every other alliance in the game, and in doing so diminished the value and efforts of everyone competing against them. At some point they have to own it on their own and decide if they want to play a game where cheating is punished, or just leave.
I can guarantee you a slap on the wrist will be the wrong answer. A top alliance punished last week for collusion will probably be the most upset of all, and they spend as well.
I know Kabam is a company, and they wont ban these players, but I do think they will use precedent they set last week and punish collusion every time it happens.
Some have a lot more "disposable income" so they probably already have the house and the car and the sig 200 5* domino
We'll never know what's the biggest source of this game's income, so let's not speculate.
Cheaters need to be punished and that's that.

They won't post their actions here anyways. Don't hold your breath.
Off topic but where the hell do you live that a u can get 2 nice cars for $100k or half of a house???? Where i live $50k is A decent car (certainly not even one amazing car) and nowhwere even near 1/10th of cost an average house???
So not only is $50k what somepeople earn in a week compared to what you may earn in a day it also holds a totally different value.
I mean people go out and spend $200 in one night on booze.... why not spend that on a ge?? Same result.... a bit of fun... atleast you can remember the fun the game gave you...
1) Cheating has consequences
2) Cheating but not getting caught is worth the risk
3) Cheating and getting caught is worth the risk because you can change alliances with 5+ wars remaining
On the other hand some make less than $50k a year. Yes, though very off topic.
Should be:
1) Cheating has consequences
2) Cheating but not getting caught isn't' worth the risk
3) Cheating and getting caught isn't worth the risk because you will get a one week temp ban, or your alliance will be locked from leaving/recruiting for the duration of the season.
Quite a few places, actually. But you have to sacrifice proximity to a major city.
Different country i dare say..... also doesnt explain the car situation.... but anyway.... not the topic for this convo...
It is the wrong thing... it is not right....
Sleeping with your wifes sister is cheating....
Just cus it is not against a law doesnt change the fact it is cheating.
And he deserved punishment would be your wife leaving you.
This is clearly cheating by going against the spirit of fair competition and using underhanded tactics to gain and advantage over and disadvantage others.
Its plain clear and simple cheating.
The only discussion here should really be “What should be done about it??”
Lol it is most definitely cheating. The alliance doing the 2* wars knows it is cheating, and I have SS's of them saying even they believe it is cheating.
Lol.... so they know its cheating.... and they still do it... amd expect to get away with it....
I wonder wat they will say once kabam decide how to approach this??? Will be quite funny to see their reaction
Hopefully it will be taken care of today, also need to figure out how to detect this next time, we were lucky someone posted screenshots
In every game I've played, someone attempts to make this argument. In every game I've played, I've said I'm willing to take that risk. In every game I've played, mass bans for cheating or exploits have never, ever, ever caused the game to lose enough income to seriously hurt them.
Every MMO mass bans for cheating or exploits. None of them come to regret that decision. The long term benefits of eliminating cheaters always outweighs any small short term loss. I see no reason to believe this game is any different.
To be honest, it doesn't really matter if we call it cheating or not. Collusion to subvert the integrity of a competition is always seen as just as bad as competitive cheating, and the penalties are usually either the same or even worse.
We don't punish "cheating" because there is a specific need to punish cheating. We punish cheating because it damages the integrity of a competition. That's why there's no punishment for hacking a single player game. No one cares if you do that, because it is your own game in your own house. We punish cheating in alliance wars because we have to punish all attempts to subvert the fairness of the competition.
A large amlunt of cheaters start a new account... (some to cheat again others to play legit)
And alos banning cheaters helps retain alot of players who otherwise would have quit
Moderators hinted that this issue will be disscused and most likely if they do anything it will be after maintenance.
I think maybe a salty cheated just found this post....
Lmao
You're right. Will be phenomenal if this happens, till then cheaters are winning MCOC in AW, Legends Runs, Arena, and AQ.
Yes please
That's naive to the point of dumbness. Sorry. First of all, there is no direct correlation between spenders and cheaters. Cheaters are cheaters, be them free to play or not. Going by your post, you should punish all cheaters who don't spend but leave the spenders free to cheat cause they spend money. Which makes absolutely no sense.
How about to fight boredom cheaters learn how to play well without cheating? I bet the game is super boring when somoene else you sent an ipad to logs you and play in your stead. Maybe if they actually had to work for what they earn they'd find more satisfaction and enjoyment playing.
I am also one of the silent few who are effected from this point manipulation. Plat 1 struggling into Master but have to deal with these exploiters.
Is your name a coincidence?
