Hello All,

Is it because of the update that the event is ridiculously difficult? I have never played one of these events that is this difficult. I had to use the 20% video, 3 cherry drinks, and 2 chilis to get through one battle. And it took like 15 minutes. Is it me or is that absurd? And from the looks of my leaderboard, others are not…[Read more]

Hello All,

Hope everyone is having a good week. I am looking for advice on identifying a cheater that is trying to look like a grinder. Some of these cheaters are pretty slick. I just started arena this morning. I am still in silver league, until the end of time it appears thanks to cheaters, and the #1 spot is a player that went from 0 to…[Read more]

Hi Folks,

Here is an example of what I was asking about before. These are my first set of arena objectives for this week:

1.) Win 1 arena battle by knocking out the banner while all enemies are knocked out!

2.) Win arena battles and knock out 5 birds with a rage ability!

3.) Win arena battles and knock out Bomb 5 times with Matilda!

I can do…[Read more]

Sorry to hear that. Sadly, I did not even get to stay in gold. Soooooo many cheaters I did not stand a chance. And no one got zeroed out. I did not keep track of all of the scores so no additional names to report, but I am going to start keeping track and reporting to Rovio. Maybe if they are flooded with reports on cheaters,…[Read more]

Now I am not sure if I ever got moved out of the cheater league or not. They told me I did but who knows… I really thought I had been moved. They have responded to my request to be moved out of the cheater league “again” and their response is for me to send screen shots of the leaderboards showing the cheaters! Well how is that going to help…[Read more]

@toolow
I am not 100% positive b/c I cannot get a response from Rovio. But I am 99.999% sure based on the cheaters in my leagues, the types of battles in the arena, cheaters in my event group, etc. When Rovio took me out of the cheater league the last time the environment was completely different. I had some grinders in the arena, but nothing…[Read more]

Hello again,

Just posting this one for fun. This cheater showed up on my Facebook feed. How can you have 4,150,344 lucky coins, 4,150,344 snoutlings, and 4,150,344 friendship essence all at the same time? You can’t. It is mathematically impossible. Nothing like advertising your cheating on Facebook. I sent this to Rovio, but I doubt they…[Read more]

Hello All,
Have not posted in a bit. I got dumped in a cheater league AGAIN!! and after reading this thread I have a better idea of why. Thanks for the explanations of how the mathematically inept have set up their “cheater detection system”. I am beyond disgusted….. I was so happy to be out of the cheater group, at least for the time it…[Read more]

@suzyq. Rovio told me I was out of the cheater group as well. Not sure if it is true or not. Last week seemed reasonable, but this week I have a cheater in my group that I have seen before. We can add HEATHER to the cheater list. She just jumped up almost 3000 points in 2 minutes.

On a seperate note, I just started the arena today and got put in…[Read more]

Hello All. Finally heard back from Rovio. They say I have been taken out of the cheater group. No compensation…. They said they were sorry for the inconvenience, but that was it. Very disappointing. But hopefully I will be out of the cheater group for the arena next week. :). We shall see.

@bubbley. I made it to gold for this week after grinding my Sunday away to keep 3rd place. But sadly, I think most of my group this week are cheaters. The top 4 spots now have scores that suddenly just appeared in the 13,000 to 14,000 range (and their scores are not changing from grinding). Including MOA who I see on the cheater spreadsheet…[Read more]

Hello All. Started the arena this afternoon after new objectives went up. Have a player named “HEATHER” that jumped to the number one spot with score of 13,245 almost immediately. Seems a little high, but I do not want to accuse anyone of cheating unless I am 100% positive. It was an hour at most.

Still no response from Rovio on my cheater…[Read more]

New cheater for the list. Grinding my Saturday evening away to try to make the top three and out of nowhere a new cheater called CHJOKER grabs the number one spot with a score of 95,915. If Rovio does not take me out of the cheater group soon I am really thinking about giving up the arena for a while. Nothing is worth all of this…[Read more]

@suzyq. I wish you luck with that board. THUNDERBIRD is a terrible cheater. I had him on one of my boards last season. Two of the guys in my group were so mad at his cheating activities that they changed their usernames to “F**K_YOU_THUNDERBIRD” for like the last three days of the week. MOROKEI is also a cheater. And I had HACKER last week.…[Read more]

ERNESTO the cheater strikes again. Last night he was at the bottom of our board in 15th place. Just checked and he is now in 1st place with a score of 85,699. Ahhhhhhhhh. I was actually thinking I was having a good arena week. Silly me. JAMS, MARMION, and I have been grinding it out all week for the top three spots, but I was enjoying playing…[Read more]

Hello All. Is it normal for the pigs damage to increase as the event progresses? For example, I just went through a battle where I lost a bird because the damage was far above the amount showing on the stats for the pigs. It says 650 but dealt damage of 975. And that was with using Samurai shield on Blues at 40% (no goo or water). So either…[Read more]

@timber. Same for me. My teammate names have changed several times as well and the cheaters have gotten worse along the way. Number one in my group already has over 10,000! And the opposing team has a score of over 63,000, while my team has just 23,000. It is ridiculous. I have no clue how I ended up in a cheater group and no idea how to get…[Read more]

Two cheaters on my board this week. I already reported HACKER. Just this morning SAY joined my board with a score of 567,420. Just this morning!!! So just wait until the last day, pop in, grab the number one spot and move on to the next week? How is Rovio not doing anything about these people? Sorry for venting again, but holy crap, they…[Read more]

Happy Friday all. Was going to skip the arena this week, but now I am finding myself playing just out of curiosity to see if I can get into a group with no cheaters. So far I am failing miserably. Started this afternoon and have a cheater on my board with over 90,000.

This weeks cheater calls himself HACKER. Nothing like being proud of your…[Read more]
