As many of you know by now one of the members of joe army was removed from the game. We all know why so with this being said I think the darkness should receive the top 10 prizes for battle for china. CJ please reply to this post

According to the post the Difference in points: 536,050
Considering the Average player had to score 365,000 what is the probability that a hacker would score more than average? Probably pretty high!

However i've heard rumors they are going to be even more powerful!


Then you have to bring up the same Question with TAR.

I am beginning to sense a witch hunt here.

Listen, I am sure you are right, at least the manner in which you speak on this topic suggest such.

Send support all your hard evidence and let them do their jobs. At the end of the day you know the coup, you have from the beginning. If your hardships are unbearable then quit or better yet STOP buying, seeking justice is commendable but there is no victory for you here.

You are the epitome of the very people my signature speaks of.

It goes way further then that. The person who was removed actually operates 4 different accounts, and scored a vast majority of the points for Joe's Army.

Did I mention he was reinstated and unbanned? Oh yea, he's running around bragging how Gree gives you a 2 day ban for hacking skill points. Not to mention whatever else he was hacking to make all of those 50m donations every 2 seconds. Let's not even ask how he managed to score 6m wd across 2 accounts. Wait...There's a hack for that!

What a joke. Probably the most fraudulent actions I have ever seen go unpunished. Shame on you Gree.

My 2 cents to Gree on an on-going basis:

1. Give the units to the rightful owner (in this case The Darkness)
2. Take them away from the Violator's faction
3. Delete the Violator. Period. No re-entry
4. Delete the Faction and make the "innocent" (right) find a new one.

Gree obviously knows that Gold is what wins wars. Face it: In the course of 72+ hours every member of your faction will find a target. But they seem oblivious to the fact that in-game cash increases these chances via Boosts. And to allow this in the TOP 25 shocks the conscious. Just ONE hacker can effectively boost a faction.

Gree, your inaction will only lead to more Violators. I wonder if you realize the consequences of this inaction.

Terms of Service

7. Content
(e) ...You agree that all Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency purchased by you are forfeited if your account is terminated or suspended for any reason...

This Terms of Service isn't worth the paper it is written on. A complete mockery if the said person was reinstated and their ban was lifted... I hope they neuter him like they have done with CC hackers.

You know what... I think GREE have lost control and subsequently lost the plot!

I think the prizes should go to the ones who did not cheat. Maybe punishing everyone in the faction is a little harsh, but something needs to happen about all the hacked money donated to the faction for bonuses. Maybe look at the hackers donation history and remove faction bonuses to equal that amount.

Thats my point...there are players out there with 200+ P91 Pounders. (30% health Regen) How is it fair that someone that has the ability to regen quicker than they can click on targets. Its quite easy to score that many points when all you have to do is stay active.

Combine this with the Cash Hackers/ 10+ upgrades at the same time/ Energy Hackers/ Skill Point hackers....i'm loosing interest in this game because of it.

ALL top 25 teams should be Investigated IMHO. Any player found Hacking should be immediately Deleted.

Any points that they contributed during a WD event should be subtracted from the Teams Score and any bonuses associated.

A faction with a Hacker should be "fined" 10 Billion Dollars for first time offense, (would need to be paid before any upgrade can be purchased....or they lock all bonuses purchased from past as well until this is paid)
Second Time offense they should be "finned" 100 Billion Dollars and prevented from participating in the next WD event.
Third Time the faction is Disbanded.

*Note it should also depend on the severity.
*Also exceptions on Faction Punishments would need to be considered if reported by their own faction. They would simply request that the donations be removed

The Top 10 scores were driven so high by one "hacktion" forcing everyone else to spend a lot more real money than they would have liked - it meant that there were 11 teams competing for the 10 places, 10 of which were spending real money, one of which was cheating. The sad consequence of this was that the Darkness missed out on their deserved Top 10 place, while a team who did not deserve it took a Top 5 position. (hint, it wasn't 1, 2, 3 or 5).

It wasn't 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,10

Seems to be 2 numbers missing.
However if there were only 9 teams pushing that hard for top 10 that would have been 5 million points less for teams 3,5,6,7,8,10,11

What needs to happen is either a top 25 Strip down (it needs to be done for all factions...but for the time being top 25)....or one of the Hactions need to overtake number 1 as i think that will cause the game to break and we can all move on with our lives.

If I could obtain the consent and cooperation of FIVE of the TOP TEN factions, things would change for the better for your everyone.

Will not work, co-operation of the top alliances to keep wd points down and reduced spending will just be compensated by the ever so slightly lower factions desperate to get the top prizes, and if they were to overtake the top alliances I can already imagine the top alliances responding to the threat with gold...

If this is not what you were referring to I would be very interested to hear you expand on this?

Unfortunately gree is on to a winner as its human nature to want the best of things, whether it be in real life or on a game. The people who do not have this desire probably do not play the game and are doing more charitable things with their lives...

It'll work, trust me, it'll work.

It has worked on several occasions.

The factions outside of TOP FIVE, maybe TOP TEN, are powerless to do anything.

They can readily be exterminated.

all thats needed is for gree to do a little work.. Hmmm a script is required, same as the scripts gree organise every day to fix things, like removing extra units when the awards went wrong in Greenland.... It's whether gree determine that the script is required is all that needs solving, not how they fix/ implement the outcome. Do they let hackers randomly spoil the game for genuine players? When it's discovered that's the case what's are gree obligations as the game provider? Let the hackers have there day or reward the real spenders? That's gree's position and there are a lot more people than the darkness members interested to see the outcome...

We don't give feedback on cheat reports because 99% of what we get are reports on people who aren't cheating. You can believe that or not, but it is true. The #1 source of cheat reports is people spending gems legitimately. And we don't share financial info about other people even in a roundabout way, period.

The disconnect here is obviously about that other 1%, but I wanted to mention the environment we operate under as far the reporting structure. Since we have a policy not to discuss the particulars of another player's account (one way or another), that means when there IS something valid, it looks like we're not doing anything or don't care.

Which isn't true. A great deal of staff time over here is spent preventing or fixing bugs that allow exploits or tracking down the people exploiting them and then banning those people (personally, I spent about 20% of my work time on hings related to this).

That takes time. It is lame that it is not an instantaneous process, but the fact is that it takes time. That doesn't mean we are not on it or that we don't care.

A couple of facts:

-a banned account does not magically disappear from the game, banned does not equal deleted; people that have it in their newsfeed or their allies list can still see it for awhile. It generally won't show up in the rivals list, but sometimes does when we're shifting the algorithm about (at which point we usually get a bunch of reports about "why we haven't done anything about X"). The vast majority of valid reports are for someone who's already banned and was banned less than 24 hours after they were first reported.

-one or two dedicated griefers who find an exploit can make it look like cheaters are everywhere. Which is kind of the point; these people aren't generally as concerned about winning as they are trying to make people angry and frustrated. We ban them and fix the exploit, repeat.

-Sometimes, we would like to find out what someone is doing so that we can cut it off at the root. That can mean watching them do it. Which, again, looks like we're doing nothing from the outside.

-There's only so many end goals when it comes to cheating, honestly. Regardless of the means to do so, you're looking for better, faster items/units/buildings/guild upgrades. The problem is that there may be a whole lot of ways to go about getting those things but all anyone can really see is the end result. Hypothetical situation: We fix all the ways people could theoretically cheat more honor items (or the raw honor itself, or get too many attacks to get more honor, etc.). Three versions later, a bug in the code makes an entirely new potential exploit to get lots of honor. Over on our side, it is "Crap, a new way to do that popped up, let's squish it". Player side, and this is completely understandable, it ends up looking like "Why won't they ever fix this?!?". That's frustrating, but new bugs mimicking the effects of old ones can happen.

-The worst situation, which does happen occasionally when dealing with old code, is the situation where fixing something in the "easy" way would break some aspect of the game for everyone. In those cases, you have to stop and find a better solution. It might even require a redesign of a core part of the architecture. *We still do that when required*, but this increases the time required by a lot. It is exceedingly important to us not to break new things while fixing another issue.

All this said, what I said in the other thread about the forums is true: almost every single thread about hacking or cheating in the forums, devolves into finger pointing and harassment. Which is why we've asked people to stop making those threads. I don't like closing posts and leaving a lame "report it to support" stock response, but I also don't like it when six hours later my inbox is full of people reporting other people for calling them or their factions out or swearing or threats or whatever.

I also don't like it very much when people make new forum accounts with a new name to rile people up, but that's another story.



People need to follow the rules on the forums. Even when they're really unhappy about something. The rules need to apply to everyone.

This was posted on KA for Similar Thread and thought i should bring it over for MW players to read. I have not edited this so i think i'm allowed to post in an attempt to spread the word.

Some of the people posting on this thread have people in their faction hacking. They either know about it or are too think to notice it.
I have been with a different faction every war and have witnessed hacking in each one. Personally I don't need to hack. Been offered but refuse. I burn bases without it. My gold gets me my mil each war.
Just remember , if stuff hits the fan and factions get shut down because of one hacker, the whole top 12, at-least, will be gone.

Coming from someone who's first post is now....you don't really have any credibility to call out all top 12 factions.
Yes there are 3/12 that have current hackers that i know of.....

Now I am curious to know which incident you are talking about

As for the darkness, they deserve the top 10 prizes. It's not their fault they couldn't compete in the last hours of the battle and it surely isn't their fault joe army had hackers but its also not fair to the other people in joe army who had no idea of the hackers involved. This is a tough one that probably will be forgotten but if these hackers continue to take advantage and ruin the game, people will be forced to quit.

JD, perhaps Gree's silence (or lack of action to correct the situation like rewarding the Darkness and others their due top prizes) would encourage more people to hack, heck, if someone can show this old man (not techie at all) the way, don't mind give it a try.

I thought you were talking about the general joe dude (formerly mofo) that went insane on here Sunday (his name was pharmacy, perhaps he was in need of medication) before his thread defending his hacking was deleting (to those that missed it, he felt that all these games are hacked and was upset that anyone would be upset about his or his teams hacking and we should just all chill out and enjoy the game). I sort of liked his 20bn of cash units, they were nice to look at. Or was it joe himself who was banned for turning himself in for health hacking and is now back, you know buy a couple of vaults and all sins are foregiven by you know who. Which one are you referring to?

I've been a supporter of this since 5 min after the event....but the reason they won't do it based on this:

They have to remove Rewards from 2 top 10 factions:
They then have to award factions 11,12, Faction 26, 27, Faction 51, 52, Faction 101, 102....all the way down to 4001 and 4002. (As they would have addmited this happened) In addition they would need to go through all factions in the process and identify any other potential Hactions.

The other big reason is by removing them they are admitting there were hackers and other teams were forced to score more points than they should have (5m for top 10) would open the flood gates for refund claims.

Hint: don't even bother with Gree go straight to apple they are as sick of Gree as we are and will refund without question, in a fraction of the time it takes to get the generic bs from Gree.

JD, I hear what you're saying but that would require time which most don't have. Isn't it easier if Gree is able to run a script upon every time a player is logging into the game? Think of it like searching for update. The system will check a player's game for changes every time said player logs into the game.

To be clear, the hypothetical leader of so called hypothetical faction ADMITTED he had his game hacked (not bugged, hacked, he self admitted and last time I checked there was no amnesty program I am aware of). He was banned and then reinstated after his health was normalized (perhaps more was normalized). WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD HE BE ALLOWED BACK? There should be a ZERO tolerance policy. Gree, your fiduciary duty is to your shareholders and you are NOT protecting your intellectual property. As he and his mini-mes are on here, please correct me if I am wrong.

I didn't forget this but Sorry this issue isn't something i'm concnered about. It was a DST issue where the clock was showing an extra hour for Euopean players. We had players in our faction that showed over two hours when we only had an hour left. While its wrong for Gree to diplay the incorrect amount of remaining time its the wrong approach to argue for a prize IMHO. Pick and choose your battle and hacking is the one im personally willing to get behind and support as it impacts ALL factions.

I was a member of the DARKNESS team...Gree did nothing to rectify the situation many were gutted and the team split! This Is the way they treat their clients and will continue to do so because people keep spending. We are talking about a top 10 team that were holding on to 7 & 8 spot all through out event!!! Funny ...yeah good excuse not giving Darkness their deserved weapons because they would have to do it for all the rest of factions...Yes don't do the right thing for a top group that spend a lot real MONEY!! No solution in the works proves that they don't care...yup too much work!! So lets leave it at that...it's not Gree's fault! Yes they have no clue about DST ...don't think they still understand that releasing events during that period creates problems its only happened a few times!!! Ha ha ha ...and yes treat a top ten team just like a top 4000 ...cause the same amount of real money was invested!! What a joke!!!! Yup can't give a top ten their well deserved units because its too much work nice!!! Now a new WD event in the mix ...lets see what other drama they can come up with. Get ready to all those working on being top 10 this time around cause if there is a problem know you can always count on Gree for not doing right!!! So no more complaining about hackers cause when they are discovered it changes nothing for the honest people that play your game!!! This is the perfect example of this...a hacker team was caught nevertheless still Gree chooses not to anything about aside from banning them but way too much work to bump factions to their proper spots!!! Yes, too much work!!! I say start listening to your clients needs and get to work...it's a game we play and pay to play so some respect please!!!!

Your right, we got done by both, from start of event we held a top ten spot, and were celebrating when the time bug got us, annoying fix applied by gree to avoid people playing in an event with the rewards for it in there inventory! Only affected some tho as I hear of factions able to declare war in the last hour! This inconsistent event model loves a curve ball!
So gree do nothing because that's changing the result without due parity, fair enough accepted! To also discover that actually you'd have finished 9th anyway if the maker had treated cheats with the respect they deserve and kicked them all they way out and deducted contributions, stings even more! Hence the issues becomes the new stick to beat gree with, in the hope that we can establish a place where we can spend our money on fun and not have the sick losing feelin when you lose a load of cash for nothing, because someone else cheated you out of it! We play to win and this game gives plenty of fun in the winning, if they would just secure the environment I'd be bankrupt in no time lol! Here's to more ups in Ireland and less down period.

Following the battle in China, I sent tickets, via the helpdesk (initially concerning the DST issue and then regarding the proven hacker faction). When I received the usual dead-end, mechanical, short-sighted, response, I called their office in order to escalate my complaint. I was advised by their ''receptionist'' that their staff do not have phones, they use e-mail only (seriously) and that I could not be put through to any sort of customer relations / complaints manager (as the roles do not exist) but that someone will call me back. I never received a call back even after many more calls. I then sent a ticket asking for the formal escalation / complaint procedure and, once again, despite repeated follow-up, have never received a response - except for the usual ‘’issue closed’’ message.

I have never before dealt with a company with such an awful approach to customer relations. Never have I had the misfortune, until now, to deal with a company that completely lacks an appreciation of their paying customer’s needs. It makes me wonder about the personal integrity of the Gree ''management'' team (it would appear there is a serious disconnect within the ''organisation'' - between the US and Japan?). Perhaps they would do well to branch out into pay-day loan sharking, they certainly appear to lack a moral compass and have the necessary callousness, lack of empathy and contemptuous attitude required. Their mechanisms and processes for dealing with issues from their paying customers is, at best, amateurish, more akin to an enterprise that is ''semi-legal'' (perhaps if there really are a significant number of Gree employees playing this game to help ‘’push things along’’, this is in fact the case?)

Gree's silence is deafening, my appreciation of the game now tainted by a sense that we have been utterly disrespected and dismissed by the ''company'' that we support. I will continue to play, albeit with a severely reduced budget, as I still like the game itself but more importantly the team spirit and friendships that come from battling other legitimate teams.

Hello my friend. Long time no talk. This is what I have been saying for months now, yet people want to call me a troll. I have been preaching about how people are not treated as customers as much as an ATM for Gree to steal from. Seriously follks you wonder why I post how I do, see what is happeneing here, this is not new. The engineers were given these hacks 8 months ago to fix and they are still not fixed. This program will be band-aided till the money stops then the game will be discontinued. This is how Gree operates, this is a business plain and simple. Minimize expenditures and maximize revenue..... Do not spend to fix something as fixing things reduce profits.

Ok ... Here is the latest intel ... A faction currently outside top 50 ... Supposedly have that very very common name player we all see 4-5 of them sometimes on the same rival list page ... Not in faction ... Sitting outside ... Coming in to drop cash donations ... $5b per day ... And leaving ... Harder to spot cheating. Alledgedly, two of them coming in and out daily.

Regarding goldless Ireland comment ... Don't agree that is possible ... If this is to happen, needs time to organise and if we want to collectively pressure Gree it has to be where the urge to break rank is the least tempting ... That would be after Ireland during the events ... So no gold spend for one week outside of WD battle is a situation we are more likely to get people on board and not break and show Gree that we had enough of this issue and their deafening silent response isn't adequate.

Enough is enough ... Gree need to get rid of the blatant cheating ... Or not just me will stop spending gold.

After Ireland, I stop purchasing gold until we get a satisfactory response from Gree ... If that means I never buy gold again, so be it!

I am not arguing the point. I just don't want that issue missed. It also could happen to ANY of us. I do not think it was just a display issue. They were on the forum at the time -- while i was clicking away in a final battle, posting that they could not declare. They literally were locked out of declaring while all other teams 1-11 were clicking away. I just don't want that forgotten. If it's the case, as it seems you are saying, that they just thought they were locked out by some display bug (which doesn't square with what they were posting on the forum that day), then ignore my blather. (Maybe someone from The Darkness can set me straight here.) Otherwise, something else went pretty wrong and affected the Top Ten in a way that could have changed the finishing positions and/or who got in the top ten.

On the hacking. I am angriest at what appears to be a blatant money grab by the game allowing hackers to infiltrate the top ranks and drive up the costs. Whatever they lose to TAR & Joe's hack, they gain in spades from the rest of us having to make sure we place.

I want a honest fight, for which I'm willing to spend plenty of vaults ... Can't give me that ... I'm not willing to spend ... Period!

Apologies to my faction members ... But that's reality ... If we all took the same approach, it would get fixed ... Unfortunately too many people prepared to voice only and not act ... I'm not one of those ... I'll earn my honesty trident with actions ... Game or no game ... Integrity is everything ... Without it, you are nothing ... IMO

Lets see how Ireland progresses ... Take it from there ... Should be plenty of time for Gree to implement appropriate action ... Or at least advise of their action plan and when we can expect to see some results.

I totall agree there should be a strip down of top 25 (that will include us after Ireland) ... And then at least top 50 as minimum ... It isn't practice to excpect all factions to be reviewed ... A top 4000 faction isn't likely to be a cheat faction as their results indicate they don't have resources.

May make no diffrence to the individual ie I don't care about the money I spend on these games but if enough of the big spenders stop spending they will be forced to do something.

May be a gamble but don't think they would shut the game down since the revenue it can generate far out wieghs the cost of fixing things up.

Well looks like nothing has been done and they and tar will again be robbing genuine factions of their deserved spots.

To be completely honest the way these games are now and the lack of caring from Gree, if I hadn't spent so much time and money on them already and was just starting I would probably hack too since why spend thousands of dollars when you can get the same results for free with little risk of being banned. Even the blatant hackers generally get away but I bet there are thousands of smarter hackers out there that do it in a way we don't even notice.

We had a guy who we were going to recruit that said he would make 900k WD points. When asked how many vaults he would buy he said he would buy 5 vaults and then do energy hacks. The reason why he buys a few vaults is so if caught, he will just tell GREE he bought 5 vaults and that would be it. He would be free to continue hacking. The copy of the email has been sent to GREE.

Thats just one guy. Most of the players here spend $1000-$2000 on average for T10. If these continue without any consequences, all you will gain is many more hackers who will also get the idea that they too can get away with it for less money. I am not saying that nothing is being done about it but many of us witnesses a hacker get away with it recently and many have reported about him bragging about it too. This does not set a good example for the game. Action is required urgently from GREE to prevent what happened in China otherwise loyal players will either quit or force to stay in lower factions and possibly hack as well.

It's soooo Frustrating to see both Joes Army and TAR in top 10 right now when there are other teams that deserve it like the Darkness (granted i don't know what place they are in right now)

At the very least before rewards go out this time CJ please take the time to scrub the top 25 teams.

The lack of transparency is what creates problems.

Gree can say they spend time destroying hackers... But where is the proof?

I think I know what PJ has in mind.

I am going to control the only thing I can control in this game.

senex morosus
04-27-2013, 10:37 AM
I wouldnt say punish an entire faction over a hacker, but how hard can it be to monitor top 10 teams? Until recently, Mils*** was the only top 25 team accused of hacking where as TAR and Joes's army have been accused many times of hacking. If GREE cant find an illegal script in a person's account and lets them off the hook after seeing 5 vaults (I will stick to this amount since I know thats what one hacker uses as a cover up) being purchased then they have a serious problem.

Common sense really. $1000-$2000 players are being over thrown by hackers who spend $500 JUST to cover up their hacking. Eventually revenues will decrease and people will start quitting or lowering their budget on the game. If I was in charge of whatever section in GREE is in charge of this, I'd set an example and announce it on the forums that 'person x' has been banned for cheating, give the prizes to the people that deserve it, and move along. Even hackers wont risk spending $500 if they know that they'll get caught but of course there is a privacy issue here and GREE wont embarrass them.

jon_funzio

Let's put this all into context:

Were there hackers in TAR and JA? Yes.
Were all members of TAR and JA hackers? No.

Punishing the entire faction for the sins of the few (?) seems a mite harsh - better would be to remove the scores of the hackers and then recalculate the total scores for each faction, I know that there are some honest people in JA (I don't know anyone at TAR, bus suspect that the same goes for them), punishing them for what one must assume is unwitting compliance does seem unfair.

BlackArrow

At that level, players notice every detail and take care of the most minute detail in their stats. The reality is that if you didn't notice 20, 50 or 100 BILLION deposits into the faction bank and major upgrades well beyond the daily contributions...something is wrong. In most cases they knew something was amiss but chose instead to ignore it as they saw their stats swell as if on steroids.

You want to be clean and beyond reproach, you leave. Period.

Gree, you have to investigate properly and not swayed by the sentiments in the forum. I have seen many hackers still playing strong with their yet to be unlocked powerful units.

In warfare, it is common for rivals to look for tactics away from battlefield to win over enemies. This is exactly what a bunch of sore losers which got beaten to cry and resort to dirty tactics to get us banned so you can get top 10. You losers have to accept and show your prowess in WD event which matters most.
