This needs to be addressed. Disqualify factions that have used it, Ban or punish the players that have manipulated the system.
I'm in a top 25 and we have strictly been told if we use it we will be kicked.
This is purely bad gaming. If nothing is done I know I'm done as well as others.
At least comment please Gree that you are aware and are taking some sort of action.
Why do they need to go? I don't condone cheating in any way but look at the history!
*airplane glitch
*gold glitch
*tank glitch
* all other glitches blah blah blah
Anyone been banned or permanently locked out? Not that I know of!
Cheaters are gonna cheat and from what I've been reading, those that are the maddest are the ones using iOS and unable to utilise the glitch for themselves.
I hear people trying to justify their cheating behaviour by saying "it's not cheating, Gree have let this happen" Please don't kid yourself, this is cheating, you have obtained units that you are not supposed to have! By not playing by the rules, you are cheating, it is that black and white.
But ban these players? I don't see why, reclaim all units and cash/valour yes, but why ban them for exploiting a game flaw left by the developer? If McDonald's gave you extra fries, you wouldn't return to the counter and tell you you had too many would you? You'd just eat away thinking, that you done well there.
Currently matched with a top 5 team. Lots of huge stats there. Really impressive. One of them is on my rival list. He jumped from 20b to 100b def in just some hours.
If you need to glitch to defeat me, I have already won.
It's ruining game balance.
This may not be in the spirit of fair gaming, but is it really cheating?
Real life: an airline mistakenly posts a ridiculously low fare. The info goes viral and people take advantage of it before the airline corrects their mistake. Sometimes they choose to honor the airfare, sometimes they don't.
Maybe the real answer is for gree to fully allow and disclose this info be shared as soon as they are found instead of the hush hush hints. And if gree would stop with the upgrades on Fridays and just before WD, the impact would be lessened.
As an ios user, this really sucks that some of my opponents have gained an advantage and, to my knowledge, none of my faction has been able to exploit this, but unless the droid users have hacked into this unit, I really can't say they are cheating and maybe the solution is to give the iOS users the same ability for a limited time.
My $.02
How is it cheating, it's a unit that has been made available to buy, it's gree's mistake not ours , if the game code was hacked or there was some other way of altering game mechanics then yes it would be cheating, but the problem here is gree forgot to lock the units, I do however condone the unbalance it has caused the game is all over the place,
Exploiting a glitch is technically cheating but again it's a Gree screw up which is allowing it.
How many mistakes have they made, beyond a joke now.
They should start doing some QA
And they should learn from their mistakes and not make the same ones over and over again.
With the number of mistakes they make they could be quick learners :p
Team Excellence, I am disgusted with myself for joining you guys for FL and now WD. I posted on your GM that I hated people who use glitch a few days ago when they havent earned the right to those units. I chose to leave you guys in the midst of war as I cannot tolerate your promotion of glitches to members in the team with the new ship glitch. You guys havent earned the right to stats and glitching isnt the answer.
I rather sit out of war without a faction then to be associated with your team.
Looking over the Intel stats from our battles - I would change my quote of 50% of factions to 75% of the factions we have faced in this WD have players using the glitch and we are top 30.
Gree will not ban accounts but removing the units and disqualify the team from this event would send a clear message.
Gree still has not removed the vicious tactical bombers from inventory that a bunch got a few months ago. So why would they fix this glitch. Gree needs to get there heads out of there a@@es and fix the glitches instead of making new events. That's my 2 cents
They didn't ban those who amassed trillions from the tank recycle glitch. They never even removed the cash.
Game balance has been screwed since(actually since the explosion of stats) then especially frontline.
Why would this be any different?
There are people who earned this ships by being the correct rank. Those people immediately were able to get much higher stats. Many people started using their stamina immediately in order to reach the proper rank. Once they reached it, they would be able to raise their stats by billions in a matter of minutes.
Those people did not cheat or glitch
THIS IS THE PROBLEM:
If gree was not so bent on trying to release new content to make more money instead of fixing the damn glitches and bugs, they would have more time to actually proof and properly beta test. So good for everyone that used this , about time gree realized that they have F&$)(;: up big time . I have been in a top 10 faction for over 2 years. This was the last straw. Good luck all
If Gree do nothing, I will claim all money spent back, they should loose units, valour and money gained anything less, and they will loose me as a player
Pure and simple it is cheating
I'll be claiming back too, thousands and I WILL get it.
I must admire the poster on page 1 who has morals and left his faction because they are a bunch of cheats and promoting it.
Remove all units from those who should not have them or face the mass backlash that will hit you where it counts - sales.
I think this may be the final straw for many players if its not addressed. .
There is no final straw. You will continue to bend over. If you are fortunate they will use Vasoline.
Do any of the Gree apologists ever wonder:
Why Gree uses it's customer base to Beta test it's sh it?
Why Gree's screw ups are always colossal?
Why Gree doesn't fix defects before it introduces new defects?
Why Gree continues to push out defective product?
Why you are blaming users instead of Gree?
I have a droid device and I haven't exploited this glitch. It would be cheating. Those who have exploited it, should be stripped of their units and their factions should be disqualified.
If Gree took this kind of action, there would be less folks cheating.
Gree essentially wont do anything. At best they will take the units back, but refund the cash. All units gained using this glitch will be left alone. By closing down the other thread, Gree has openly stated that calling out cheaters is a bigger 'crime' than the cheating itself. I find myself logging in less and less throughout the day as I've found a different game to occupy my time.
Damn, everyone calling people are just stupid. Every faction has "cheated" one way or another. Did your team wait for day two of epic boss? Nope, you just kept killing. Gree accidently released all 5 days at once, and by these holier then now peoples definition of cheating, we should have waited till day two was supposed to start before working on it. So i say your all cheaters.
I think we need a new word. Glitch is well thought out, deliberately introduced computer code used by the programmers to facilitate improvements and to test the program. It is sometimes removed and sometimes left after Beta testing.This does not describe Gree's continual failures.
How does Greetch sound as a replacement?
Anyone want to supply a definition for Greetch?
People taking advantage of Gree screw ups is not cheating in my book, they should ensure it can't happen.
They've had plenty of time to patch it.
Taking advantage is cheating, and they have to address money and valour gained by selling the ships back, some people have gone from 3 billion to 25 billion, it a complete joke, how are people that dont CHEAT, and play the game as it was supposed to be played compete, and as this CHEAT is not available to all, it gives a massive advantage to some players
You all were quiet when the tank glitch was on, i bet that if this glitch would have worked on ios as well you would all be happy. Gree should put those units available in store for all people, that would be the only fair situation. Otherwise, top 25 factions will be out of reach for ever, you cannot fight stats of trillions with billions. It's not cheating when gree makes it available, we were all trying to keep a low lvl to have good scores in wd and this latest update just made that look stupid..
It's a mess but it's all their doing.
Gree has not taken care of the vicious tactical units for finishing dragon CDR yet so why would they fix this on.
You are cheating, when you take advantage, the cheat is not available to all players, it still would be crap if it was, but it gives s massive advantage to some players over others.
