Hi, cheeliah! We investigate all reported incidents of hacking very seriously, as we have a zero tolerance policy for cheating. You can use the in-game bug reporting feature to inform us of players you believe to be cheating. You may also PM me this information directly on the forums. We are actively working to improve our anti-cheat to stay ahead of potential cheaters, and we appreciate player reports and patience!Originally Posted by cheeliah Go to original post

I was enjoying this game. Until I got to around 7-8 rank in pvp... then I started encountering cheaters. I'd be winning, then all of the sudden opponent would drop 20-30 energy worth of mobs in 5 seconds... when they had been spamming as much as me all game. Maybe 1 in 2 or 3 had this "power". Then I got another couple ranks and started playing tonight. Literally 75%+ of my opponents are spamming more than 3x energy recovery rate, and I'm still VERY low rank, obviously it's only going to get worse as I rank up. This means basically everyone playing this game is cheating. Fix your damn game then let me know and maybe I'll reinstall it. If you can't manage that, then congratulations on being the most inept dev team ever.

There are just too many games out there that are corrupted and it looks like this one is getting added to the list. I was experiencing some of the same wonky, lopsided losses in PVP as well and thought it was weird how some players had the capability to summon massive cards mid game and never appeared to run out of energy.
Now that I have come here I see this has been going on for quite some time. Your blogspot post was from June so apparently they are not concerned with fixing the issue?
I think I had spent maybe $30.00 on the game but they will not get another penny more.
Of what value is your victory in a game when you achieved it by cheating?
It's a shame really because everything about the game is very cool, too bad it's corrupted.

For all their talk of "zero tolerance", it's clear that the cheating is working as intended.
The fix? Move these things server side. Yes it means you pretty much recode the game. It's a mobile game. This code is NOT that complex. They've had 6 months to do it. They haven't. That's a sure sign they don't intend to. So we move on to why don't they? Well let's look at the evidence.
Single player REQUIRES a HUGE amount of pvp play to progress. You are FORCED to not only PVP but to WIN pvp to advance in SP. There are ZERO in game rewards for losing.
This would be fine if the game didn't allow you to go on ridiculous 10, 20, 30+ game losing streaks... by some sort of balancing system. This appears to not exist. I think I've lost maybe 29 of my last 30 games. I'm still facing players who are ranked equal to or higher than myself almost every match. Most of these players have full decks of level 2 cards (I have 3). These players are usually LOWER level than me however... suggesting they do not play single player at all. The result? Forced to replay single player matches until THEY level you out... then you literally have no way to progress beyond waiting on free packs or spending money.
They've created a BRICK WALL for advancement. Can't play SP without winning PVP. Can't win PVP because THE MAJORITY of the player base is cheating. Problem could be solved if they created a balancing system that would make cheaters EASILY identifiable (obviously the top ranked players would be cheaters in a system that is flooded with cheaters). Cheaters would sift to the top, noncheaters would form a series of tiers underneath. But since they don't do this, what are your remaining options?
Pay to win. Just spend and spend real money to advance. You can't beat the single player campaigns past lvl 10? Buy upgrades until you can.
It's no surprise there are so many cheaters, considering Ubi refuses to fix the games holes that allow cheating (which were so obvious, apparently they were being widely exploited in beta and never got fixed), and structured advancement to financially REWARD cheating (it's the only way to progress without paying significant amounts of real money). They are, in essence, PAYING the cheaters to cheat, because it forces non-cheaters to pay them to advance in the game.
The game is a shakedown where cheaters are the muscle for the Ubi family. Ubi sells you "protection" (getting to advance without nonstop losses to cheaters), then lets the cheaters create the environment you need protection from.

I want the money back I spent on this game over the weekend. I dropped about $20 on this sh!t and I run into 95% cheaters in PVP now. Can't progress in single player because I need PVP wins. Can't win in PVP because of units that won't die, and ridiculous never ending opponent power meters that let people spam units. It's so blatantly obvious and it's not even funny.
And the sad part is that you're going to kill your own game in the process before it's even been out a month because no one will play it. You telling me the hackers are going to spend actual money on this? Good luck with that.
I'm fvcking done with this.
