Some general observations about the arena. To start with, I run the gamut from opponents who are terrible to those whom I can’t beat unless I spend a bunch of gems. I don’t hoard my gems, I use them. But if they’re blowing me out of the water, I don’t suspect I’m playing a bot, I suspect that it’s a cheater. I would suggest sending the opponent’s name to Rovio. They should delete the recorded play of anyone who cheated. (More on that in a moment.)
Of course, some times its obvious who has been cheating — you get an opponent with a flock level of 4 zillion and a solid platinum slingshot, but he/she can’t score 30,000 points per bird. :)
There’s supposedly some kind of glitch that you can use involving backup, then restore, and so on, to improve your score in the arena and your luck in the tower. I don’t bother with stuff like that, but that also explains some of those who have zillions of gems.
Second, I’m sure most of you realize that you’re not playing the arena in real time. You’re playing a “recording.” The best proof of that is to pause the game and come back the next day; it’s right where you left it. No human opponent would put up with that. Also, if you run out of cards while the opponent still has several, the opponent’s cards disappear very quickly — almost as fast as his/her score can go up. No one can shoot that fast.
Third, some here have complained about players who score millions of points on the first few birds. Given that you’re not playing in real time, how do you know that the “recorded” game is of the same level layout? You don’t. You might be playing the water-and-flowers layout while the recorded opponent played the green slime conveyors.
Oh … just for record, I used to play under Dash Baconbuster (the handle I use here), but I’m currently playing as Soar Baconbuster. I restarted the game from scratch (for reasons that I’ll discuss in a different thread).
