Cheater(s) in AB2 Arena?

Arena won’t load?

I too have encountered cheats in the daily arena. Yesterday through saved lives and winning several streaks I was 100 points ahead of the nearest opponent. I went to sleep and much to my surprise when I logged in today someone had managed to score 350 points within 8 hours (give or take a few hours)! How is that even possible and fair? This game has continually pissed me off with it’s skewed interface. 1 time I was forced to reinstall the game only to get pushed back to level 1 with nothing (I had made it to level 492, had lots of gems and spells; ALL lost!) Second time I did an update and the same thing; lost tons of spells, gems, my rank and had made it to level 200 and something. I know the game is free but this is really frustrating and makes me want to just say screw Tovio and their crappy system. Pleae fix the major bugs and pleae make it harder for the cheaters to cheat! So far the two that keep popping up in the daily arena: Danylo, Justin and Loopy (and always seemingly out of nowhere; they usually are not even in the top 10 the first day or so)…curtail this egregious abuse of the system or I will post all over every board and on facebook how unfair Rovios game interface is. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Is having 2 maxed-out Bombs in a starting lineup a sign of cheating? Twice I have played someone called ‘Nate’ and both times he has had the above.

No, it appears to be a sign of Rovio’s poor coding, simply using a bird, and getting that bird as a replacement shows all on the one line before they have even used that bird.

How is that even possible and fair?

It is possible to score roughly 100 points an hour, so 350 after 8 hours is very easy to achieve.

I’ve cleared screens with two of the same bird before (eg where I threw a bird and got the same bird as a replacement and then used it)… let me look for a screenshot where I’ve got both bird bodies lying around at one time…

So it’s possible to have two of the same bird in a row, it just depends on which bird you last use and which bird you get awarded as your free card.

Ok while playing and opponent on 7 for win streak..I got behind in the first room but quickly came back and was overtaking him he had bluebirds and I had three cards. I heard a weird noise and like magic he has five cards appear and blow me way. Hey if you beat me good for you…if you cheat me screw you cowardly twerp. I’m no computer whiz and I don’t care to cheat. I took a screenshots.

So I have come across the cheaters in the arena finally. The first was last week in my league…I was up 150 stars with less than hour to go and when I went back to collect my first prize later that night a user who was in last place less than an hour earlier not only beat me, he had over 2,000 stars (I had 1,200) after playing every day of the week (vacation boredom).

Now today I have been playing my league a lot and the person in second place (Boom Boom) was at 725 stars to my 920…I played another level taking six minutes and when it goes back to the scoreboard Boom Boom miraculously has 870 stars. I then started typing this and went back to take a screen shot (2 minutes later) and now Boom Boom has 911 stars. Can someone tell me how this crap is possible? Even if they are hitting 10 star wins, that is over 175 stars in the span of less than 10 minutes (roughly 18 battles at minimum). It is such a ripoff for those of us who are actually spending time and money to play the game.
