I’m perplexed. If the game is able to run faster on one device, platform, or software (e.g. iOS vs Android, PC vs mobile device), why is that not an allowed forum discussion topic? Can someone point me to the forum rule that makes that discussion a violation? I’ve read the posted rules and just don’t see it.
The apparently loose nature of what is considered an “exploit” and how discussing it amounts to “advocating cheating”.
Mods have stated in the past that discussing specific cheating behavior or exploitation in any sense is a violation, despite the distinct ability to have a discussion about it that not only does not explicitly advocating cheating, but explicitly disavows it and calls for it to be ended.
Typical head-in-the-sand reaction to video evidence showing the game is broken and people are exploiting it for personal gain, at the expense of people playing the game “properly.” Delete the thread → no issue exists, business as usual. Tune in for our next exciting/useless 5* character release folks!
Because it’s a game with a competitive element, and people like competition. And competition ~should~ be fair. Do you show up to play pick-up basketball and just nod your head in quiet content and say “ho-hum, I’m just happy to be here” if the other team is cheating and fouling the entire game? Then you’re on a different level of competitiveness and this conversation wouldn’t interest you in the slightest, as you’ve made so abundantly clear with your oh so cool nonchalant comments. If you don’t care about the speed hacks, then just keep it moving and click on a topic that interests you, I’m sure there’s no shortage of them on these forums. You chiming in with your yawns and “so whats” contributes nothing and wastes your own precious time, subsequently.
When I used to be able to go play basketball at my local Y it was amazing. There were players who were taller than me. There were players that were faster than me. There were players that handled the ball better than me. I can still hit my jump shot so I get asked to play.
I don’t then ask the other players to handicap themselves to slow middle aged man pace. I instead play my best do my part and accept the outcome.
That’s my definition of competition.
I don’t think this makes any sense. Of course the game runs differently on different devices and different operating systems. Even habits like running your device with less background processes could have an effect based on the age of your device.
No reason any of that should be off limits for discussion. I guess we might as well consider optimal clears, turning off animations, Line coordination, and all other tactics as “cheating” as well.
Animation times should be calculated an removed, so you could enjoy the game as designed without being punished. However, I don’t think people who turn them off are cheaters.
Fix the problems, don’t make policy to disguise them. That’s weak and disingenuous about being “fair”.
You do realize they are in the business of making profit, right? If there was no benefit to spending money it would be stupid to do so. The “free” game doesn’t exist without people who support it.
In other words, your high horse has no legs without someone else’s wallet.
Once again you are completely off the mark. Nobody is saying that spending money automatically qualifies someone for a top 5 placement. That’s complete ignorance from you once again. It’s the simple fact that people can manipulate the game engine on their device and speed EVERYTHING up, which allows them to complete actions within the game in a ridiculous amount of time. Based on how the game works, 450 rosters should not be beating 550 rosters in pve clears with a level playing field and equal game competence. People who spend money on this game are what support it for the F2P to continue sitting in their ivory towers attempting to disparage “whales” with their dumb comments. “If building your roster through proper and deliberate actions means nothing anymore because anybody who plays on PC with a speed hack will automatically win everything, then what is the purpose in continuing to pay/play” was Justsing’s intended message, which you then immediately misconstrued and started hurling your whack ass comments in return. For something you’ve previously stated you care nothing about, you sure are devoting a lot of your time to commenting on it.
What data would be necessary? When you spend money on anything, you feel entitled to compensation, right? If your electric company decides to subsidize those who won’t pay their bill with your spending, well that’s their prerogative to do so. The problem is when those people who benefit from it want to attack you for expecting services/product/compensation of some sort for your hard earned money.
If someone else is providing the meal, just sit down, eat, and be grateful. A different attitude may leave you hungry the next time around.
Point out where I said it gives me a right to placement or reward?
It certainly gives me a right to feedback on potential cheating that would make my chances worse for placement. “Whales” and the like make up a far greater portion of revenue than someone simply paying VIP. Not that it matters in any way, your point is completely moot from either perspective. You have no right to deride people for deciding if they want to consider supporting a game with questionable policies toward cheating.
People who spend still have to grind to play the game competitively. So in addition to the same grind you may do, the extra resources should count for something, that’s just an obvious fact.
Okay, I get it. You aren’t open to reasonable debate. Continue on.
The idea, by the way, is not to encourage people to quit spending. This is why the forum feedback would be important for interested (vested interest) parties.
