@kennymcc  Please do not touch anything of mine just in case what you have is communicable. Thanks.

Seriously, Rovio has a problem that ABE has become this kluged nightmare where you have the standard gameplay on the island now mated to the events and the arena. If people cheat during gameplay it’s like “meh, who cares” because the game had a finite life and once you were done you were done. So they didn’t really lock down the base game code. But then they added events, mastery, arena, all things where cheating made a difference, and now, after all this stuff is patched into an inherently leaky code, they want to make it cheat-proof.

Because they never made the code secure to begin with, they are left with ad-hoc methods for identifying cheaters that are based on trigger points that are easily met by non-cheating players. At this point, it might be better to just say, “Wanna cheat? Go for it. Just don’t hack the game to give yourself LCs you didn’t buy.”

It would become a digital post-apocalyptic nightmare where the strong would feed on the carcasses of the weak, but we’re headed that way anyway as a planet so maybe it would be good training.
