@larry – one point of contention with your analysis above is that Rovio fixed the primary GPM glitch that allowed for daily set items from friend GPM rolls daily way back when the top experience level was approximately 25. I obtained many, many set items at that time, but have long since stopped using them as I have obtained more powerful items through regular game play. I think the only level 25 set item I still have is the pocket watch for Chuck.

I personally have chosen not to take advantage of the timezone exploit because I consider it to be outside of the course of normal game play. When I found I could get LC by merely tapping the replay button on the golden pig level, I honestly had no idea that this was not how the programmers intended the game to be played. Choosing to only use the free roll on a friend’s GPM versus spending LC, or watching the video also did not strike me as “gaming the game” as it was available within the ordinary course of game play.

Another method we have run across that seems to allow players an advantage in progressing within the arena leagues is the intentional late start of league play for the week. I believe that this has allowed me to be placed in leagues with fewer players utilizing exploits available outside of the game and has allowed me to reach the diamond league. Again I have done nothing outside of the game itself to gain this advantage.

Back in the day, players could gain benefit of “time travel” by resetting their device clocks ahead to create the illusion that time had passed, now similar benefits can be gained by taking advantage of this time zone exploit. These exploits require that the player do something outside of the app itself in order to gain an advantage. I draw the line for myself at the point where I am manipulating my device outside of the game to obtain an advantage within the game. If the only benefit to be gained for a user who chooses otherwise is a faster accumulation of LC, I am good with that. If there becomes an effect that directly changes the game play for other users, such as the objective resets that were being done, I object very strongly.
