@tigerussell, I’m curious… I thought I knew them all. I know of at least one which may or may not be fixed, but that one is not as easy as the time zone exploit.
Anyway, this week I flashed my phone with a custom rom for completely different reasons (got upset with Samsung for f*cking up my battery life with crap updates) and I thought it would be a good idea to see what people were doing with the other types of cheats.
The method is surprisingly effective and has all to do with manipulating in-memory data. It’s not my primary device, nor do I use it to play epic normally (I’ve got a tab for that). However, I was able to adjust my scores directly on the leaderboard. (gave myself 15 extra points! lol)
I also tested (on a dummy account) giving myself millions of gold and xp. This went fine until I moved to another device. That’s when (almost!) everything got lost again. This means that Rovio did do some things to prevent cheating in this method, but clearly did not do a thorough job.
Obviously Rovio has not fixed everything.
