    @captsternn Sorry to hear about you being banned. This company is over the top. I have been trying to decide the best approach to being banned. I’m with you. I think it is a legal issue at this point because they are still advertising to me to buy gems and special packs even though I’m banned. As I’m sure you know you can still play the Arena, DC, KPP, RC levels. I’ve just been documenting every time they solicit me for business. I think they have awakened a mob of people who are very angry with them right now and I would bet that the game will get much worse now. They should have fixed their issues instead of taking it out on any of their players. As a business owner it is some of the worst customer service I’ve ever seen. If they are banning everyone who has ever used an exploit they will lose a lot of players. I would love to know what happens with the credit card issue. Keep us posted.

    @rippiggies @ryan-kochie Keep spending your money and defending the actions of a corporation that in all reality is a sinking ship. The only ones left that are really cheating are the hackers. Hide and watch the game get even worse now. It’s ashamed that they didn’t get out in front of the issues sooner.

    @captsternn I wonder what happened to the clan that I created? I did not get banned because of the report button. I got banned because when they did the last update I had a customer service issue over lost gems and “after looking at my game data they determined that I had opened too many legendary chests. And trust me I spent plenty of money in the the early days playing this game.

    @davetv

    @rippiggies By the way I’m sure you know that just because you are banned does not mean you can’t play the game and make purchases. You just can’t play the clan events or MEBC. Oh! And at the end of a streak you still get the advertisement that for $49.99 you can get X amount of gems, feathers, etc. So I can still spend my money with rovio but I can only have limited access to the game. Is that an ethical business practice in your mind?

    I’m under the impression from other comments that I’ve read that you may work for rovio. You have been on the angry birds nest threads for awhile now. You should have been reporting all of the chatter about exploits for awhile now. Do you have any thoughts to share on what took them so long to close the exploits that have been known for years?

    In my opinion rovio was the creator of the “Cheating” environment that they are dealing with today. There is no way anyone will ever convince me that they didn’t know what was going on & so that’s why they kept creating the unreachable legendary hats etc. I remember a time in the game where I was always out matched in FP and would have to bring in spells to have a chance at winning. Low and behold by having the max FP meant I would be evenly matched with my opponent. Then if they brought spells I would bring spells to match. But when you intentionally match players over & over against each other that are not equal you have now created an unfair advantage. That causes animosity because it makes the player feel like they have to spend money to compete.

    If I’m at max FP what ever that is at the time of the last update I was not getting placed with opponents who were way under me. They were always equal or maybe 2 or 3 points below me. But there were some instances where you would get that opponent who was 100 FP below you and you knew to take in all of your spells because that opponent was going to have the game of their lives and even with all your spells you would get beat by whatever margin and if you got the free video it gave you a useless bird anyway. Also when playing the cosiderably lower opponents your birds would not do the normal damage that was expected. At that point after it has happened hundreds of times over the years and is still happening the same today it becomes pretty obvious that the game was manipulated to force you to spend gems(money) to keep your progress.

    How many times have you seen comments on these threads about rovio being a greedy money grabbing corporation? Again my point is when you create an environment by allowing an exploit to continue for years and you manipulate the outcome of games you have created a hostile environment.

    The problem started with the way rovio conducted themselves a long time ago and is conducting themselves now.

    @rippiggies The back up and restore glitch was reported at least two years ago. Why was it not corrected immediately? As for my “huge advantage”, as soon as an update came out there were players who’s FP & hats were immediately maxed out. My view was that they had the advantage and I wanted to be able to compete with them instead of being rolled over with no chance. Rovio new about it and did nothing for over two years. To me they have cheated everyone who has played and paid for this game. I originally spent hundreds of dollars trying to compete with the so called cheaters and then I decided what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. By the way it’s not a game of skill. You can purchase your way to the top if you have enough money to do so. From what I’m reading the “cheaters” are still playing away as usual. I can’t justify getting back into a game that is and it seems will always be riddled with cheating.

    DisAB.ed Thanks for this post because it’s spot on for me. I had used that exploit in the past. When the new update happened one of the devices that I play on only had a few gems I think 69 to be exact but the other device had well over 92000 gems on it that I had saved since the game came out. After the update it took the larger amount of gems on that device away so I sent a ticket to rovio and low and behold they restored the gems back to that device with a warning that after looking through my gaming profile that I had opened over a thousand legendary chests and not to exploit the game.

    After the update I’m thinking this will put everybody on the same playing field now. The next day when I opened the game I was indeed Banned. After some correspondence with the same support guys they told me to create a new Facebook page and reinstall the app and give them the new gaming ID and they would restore my purchase, but they couldn’t help me get my old game back.

    After thinking it over for a few days I chose not to reinstall the game. I had been playing religiously for three and a half years. I have been through a lot of ups and downs with rovio and to be treated as a malicious cheater was a complete insult. Rovio should be reported to the consumer protection agency for the things that they do to manipulate the average user into spending money.

    The Tower of Fortune might as well be a slot machine in a virtual casino. They are also obviously manipulating the outcome of certain games so we have to spend money to be successful, which takes away the game of skill. And finally something that I have complained about for years is on the chests page, if you accidentally hit one of the 80 or 900 gem chests it does not give you a confirmation of purchase so that you can say no one last time before you are charged. That is also intentional.

    I say, who are the real cheaters Rovio, when you treat your customers in such away.

    With the new update I lost over 92000 gems from my phone. I contacted customer service and after a few attempts they were able to restore all of my gems. I have not altered the software in any way. I have accumulated those gems since I started playing the game in 2014. It’s ashamed that rovio has really messed this game up by creating an environment where they can manipulate the outcome in such a way that we have to pay to be successful at the game. I’m currently trying to get my game restored. If not I guess it was just a waste of 4 years of progress. It seems to me that they should be working harder to fix their own software than banning players from the game.

    @ravenstar The same thing happened to me. I have a ticket in to rovio and I’m waiting on a response. The syncing has glitches as well. I was able to play the daily challenge and KPC On one device and several hours later I was able to play it on my other device. Also the gems and black pearls had not updated and were different on both devices.

    Davetv
    @davetv

    Rovio has now taken the gems on your device and put them on their server. I play on two devices. On one device I only had 69 gems and on the other I had saved 92000 gems since the inception of the game ( about 4 years) When I played yesterday after the newest update and logged in with my second device it took away my 92000 gems and put the 69 gems on my second device. I’m beyond angry to say the least. I’m definitely not going to let it go. Rovio spends too much time trying to catch so called cheaters instead of improving the game. They have created an environment that promotes cheating. I will certainly look for all of the exploits now. As careless as Rovio is I’m sure it won’t be too hard to find their weakness.

    I need new players in Davetv’s clan. I’m am going to dump several players so come on if you want to play to win.

    Davetv
    @davetv

    Guys they put us in a situation that is manipulating our outcome. That takes away our chance to win, no matter how skilled we are at the game. When you charge people real money because you made them lose on purpose. For real!!!  ! I find that to be extortion! We have all become complacent with Rovio. They used to be a reputable company but now they have become common thieves. They have big problems with every game they have.  Time to move on or get some real progress.

    Is anybody else having a problem getting into their clan today? It keeps telling me to check my internet connection. My connection is fine and I’ve restarted the game several times.

    @hank The game is crashing frequently with iOS 11.0.03 on multiple apple devices. Heads up.

    @davetv

    @piggsy @ juan-luis-valenciaga-parma @christian-cosgrove I have found for quite a while that if you out rank an apponent by a great deal that you are always the one who is at the disadvantage. If you are not a seasoned player you have no chance of winning those matches.

    Davetv
    @davetv

    @Hank Since installing iOS 11.0.2 iPad mini 2 crashes at the battle screen in the arena. It will not go past searching for open opponent. The screen just locks at that point and if you restart  you lose a ticket but you don’t lose streak progress.

    @sambeaver

    I did a little experiment today. You cannot get gems from any of the chest. I tried 50 rare chests, 50 legendary chests and ran several streaks to get the rare chest in the streaks. There were never any gems that came up in the cards. I finally saw a few common chests where the cards had 10 gems but of course I never was able to get the free gems. I just wonder if they do this on purpose or if it’s just a “glitch”?

    Davetv
    @davetv

    Has anybody else noticed that the common chest are not giving hardly any gems for the last couple of days? I think I’ve see the gems pop up maybe three times in two days.

    I have a clan ( the davetv clan and it’s open if anyone wants to join.) I realized very quickly that the clan is worthless with out help. I’ll play if everyone else plays.

    @hank

    like captsternn, cognitive, chuck-2, Jon S, and yue-zhang, I have a ton of time and some money invested in this game. I can’t tell you how many times early on in the game that I would accidentally touch the screen with something like my power cord and what is now the legendary chest would open costing me a lot of gems. I would submit a ticket and ask that you guys install a confirmation of purchase so this would not happen anymore. Nobody ever listened obviously. After losing several hundred dollars worth of purchased and hard earned gems through gameplay I accidentally found an exploit. That just led me to many other exploits. At last I felt I received a little redemption.

    I’m very curious as to what the parameters are to consider any player as a cheater. You guys are doing a good job of finding and closing the exploits as you can. I can’t express how angry I would be if you guys locked me out of this game after spending hundreds of dollars on it. Again please define what a cheater is.

    Since the update I can’t see anybody’s list of medals. I can see flock power and league. The arena has been like that for me as well. I usually have one player that plays a little and the rest barely play if they play at all.

    Davetv
    @davetv

    I don’t know why the last post looks like that, I’m sure they get the point. Frustrating 😡

    Davetv
    @davetv

    This is what happens with an iPad mini 2 32gigabyte iOS  10.3.3(14G60) when you hit battle in the arena. You also lose a ticket each time it freezes.  Frozen screen

    Davetv
    @davetv

    After today’s update my iPad mini2 will not load the arena. Typical for this game.

    Davetv
    @davetv

    Played 28 times across two apple devices. The same result 28 times until I spent 100o gems. Of course I got them back but that’s because I know how. Don’t get snookered by this company. It’s just not worth it.

    @davetv

    I haven’t posted in quite a while but did anybody Win the kpc today without spending any gems? This game reminds me of those claw machines that have the different sensitivities so you are guaranteed to lose every time no matter how good you are. If couldn’t exploit this game it wouldn’t be worth playing. I have noticed that as of late rovio has made sure that you will have to spend gems to win the kpc. It usually cost around 3 to 10 usd. That is completely unacceptable. If you play this game honestly and you want to be competitive, it would cost you more than a Heroin addiction.  If I didn’t have so much time invested in this game I would not play at all. I would suggest to anyone who wants to play any game designed by rovio to look elsewhere for a game that is based more on real values instead of money.  Don’t spend money on any rovio games because they are full of exploits that they will never be able to fix. I would not have posted this if I hadn’t seen the real greed from these people.
