    How to Spot a Cheater

    I've seen countless threads and even more posts about cheaters/hackers. We're not allowed to talk about it even though we all know it happens. We also know that GREE probably receives hundreds of tickets every day just regarding cheaters alone. I'm sure more than half of the tickets they receive though turn out to be legit players. This is a waste of GREE's time and results in less attention being paid to legitimate issues by other players. My question is this: are we allowed to have a post that teaches players how to correctly spot a cheater in order to lighten GREE's load? If everyone know what to look for, they would stop sending reports on level 60 players with stats over 120k assuming it's a cheater when in actuality it's nothing more than a player with Top 10 syndicate prizes. It would be great if a moderator could answer this question, but for those "in the know," feel free to answer. Thanks in advance.

    No, you aren't allowed.

    It is viewed as potentially aiding cheaters in avoiding detection.

    I'll not express my opinion on this position.

    CCMark said the number of false reports was closer to 90%. Kinda didn't believe him then but I would now. After 2 years of contests, events, modifiers, active beta testers, etc, unless someone has a level 185 building in a level 15 hood, I am not sure I could tell a hack from a legit player anymore. Just strolling through a rivals gun list lakes 15 minutes these days.

    I love how the cheaters KNOW nothing will be done to them these days.

    I'll be back when the moderation is reasonable. Enjoy the forum you created, Gree.

    27 Armored Jets at lvl46 isn't enough to be sure? (lvl135)
    how about 225 Multiple Grenade Launchers? (lvl120?)

    They're getting sneakier these days. Stats weren't even that great for lvl46!

    Gree is responding to solid evidence of cheaters with a FORM LETTER asking if the problem has been resolved. Assault and Flattery! Where you at, homie? Thought I was supposed to just send in a ticket when I have proof of a cheater? ...that you guys would actually "look into it".

    You can never tell a gold cheat...since someone does spend thousands on this game. But u can easily spot a respect cheat. Basically if he/she doesn't have 200k wins/robery, there's no way he/she can get a full house of rp items. Also cash back is easy to tell if they have very little iph and a lot of cash items

    What if they sold both their Level 10 nightclubs to buy the weapons?
