@dixi-60 I don’t buy IAPs and I won’t for the near future, so Rovio’s got no revenue from me directly. ;) We could also pressure them to refund LC because of the heavy cheating, because you would need desperate measures to get to Diamond League if you were Lv. 45 now. (in other words, spending LC to get more banners)

Back on topic, I highly despise cheating, although I would use exploits simply to earn random in-game things and NOT for an easy competition. It still seems wrong that a popular mobile game developer does not use conventional methods just to make their games more enjoyable and fair for the majority that doesn’t use any 3rd-party mods to actively modify their score in PvP. I don’t know what Rovio could do about unauthorised? emulators that let hackers do ANYTHING. I definitely know it’s just a little game, and when other Rovio games came, they won’t appear for a while, until hackers figure out the interface and cause havoc. To re-answer @tripolar ‘s question, exploits are often tolerated more because people figure out that it doesn’t hurt anyone to use them, and no one can deter them from using them; not the law, not Rovio, not other players either. When Rovio usually patches exploits, that never really discourages people from finding other flaws to exploit. Meanwhile, cheating is hated because people are really FORCED to be cheated on, and it DOES hurt other players. Yet again, neither the law nor Rovio is discouraging them from hacking the game. So I guess ‘tolerance’ of cheating really depends on who you are asking, a fair player who has never seen an injustice, a fair player who has been a victim of cheating, or a blatant hacker.
