    I do not grind QB as much as I used to, but still spend a significant amount of time there. And I had been skeptical about the cheating claims until this past weekend.

    I was moving along smoothly with my level 60 Kiora. That deck that averages less than 3 minutes per match. The top three in my bracket were all playing and switching places when a new player suddenly surged ahead of us. At that point the event was new and we were sitting at 160 or so points. The new player moved ahead of us by a hundred points in less than an hour. One day into the event and they were over 2000 points, and they were not alone. Another account was at the same level. Currently, those players have 7338 and 5898 points respectively.

    So yes, I am now convinced there is a cheat exploit out there. My experience is that a good solid grind gives you around 1200 points, give or take, over a QB of this length.

    I've played over 11,000 QB matches. I know whereof I speak.


    I am in that same bracket and they have gained over 2000 points in less than 24 hours

    Hi Everyone. Just wanted to let you all know that the development team has been hard at work creating a system that will prevent cheating from occurring in the future.

    When it comes to the recent occurrences of players rapidly advancing up Quick Battle ranks, we've provided their information to the developers and they will be investigating those accounts. Thanks for everyone's help!

    That's great! I hope the fix isn't to stop supporting rooted devices or emulators, since my 5 year old phone wouldn't function anymore unrooted and I started using NOX because I was getting screen burn-in from doing QB's (not to mention the battery drain).

    It should be fairly easy for d3 to built in a flagging mechanism to deal with cheaters who can achieve over 200-300pts per hour which is just impossible.

    Hi Everyone. I've brought this topic up in our most recent discussion with the team in regards to a course of action for this situation.

    For those of you who believe you have encountered a potential cheater, please send in a support ticket to report them. Customer Support will be able to work with Hibernum on investigating those accounts and applying appropriate action. Thank you!
