in MPQ General Discussion
Can't even post actual discussions about this game without it being removed in literally 10 minutes. This is unreal...instead of deleting posts, how about doing something about the cheaters and hackers? Now delete this for whatever reason you can make up.

    Simply deleting posts like that is the wrong move. Sends a very negative message to the player base.

    it would be better to at least respond and lock the thread.

    Fair enough @ducky I do respect your logic and reasoning, but this is a topic, that I will want to continue and champion.  If the original poster gets punished and is not able to continue the topic, please talk to me about how to carry it forward in way that you and I can agree upon.

    I understand the clandestine nature of investigation and researching whether someone is or is not a cheater, but I think there needs to be more transparency when someone is found guilty. What's the harm in saying so? Professional sports does it. Our judicial system does it. The Olympics does it. Pretty much every major sport/event/game is public about its methods and outcomes and I don't know why this should be any different. Would certainly help alleviate the growing fears (and they are growing) that cheating/hacking/whatever-you-want-to-call-it is become more rampant, and that D3 is taking it seriously and taking action.

    If I had to guess, there are legal reasons, and D3 wants to be in full control of any and all type of investigations.

    Maybe it is rampant and they don't want people to know that.

    And, to be fair, there are MANY examples of professional sports and the judicial system (I don't know about the Olympics) levying penalties against violators and not making them public. Teams fine players all the time and never tell anybody. Criminal records get expunged and settlements get sealed. There's a lot of information kept closer to the vest than you'd think.

    It’s a free mobile game. Why make things public if cheaters are proven to be guilty? Just box and move forward. The community will know when that person isn’t around anymore

    Huh, well that explains that. I wondered where it went. 

    I found it interesting. A look into the journey of a MPQ whale. Also, it contained better detailed info about the cheating issue than what we've gotten so far on the Forum.

    And I missed it but heard about it. Hopefully it will be back after it is reviewed.

    How about a "locked while under moderation?"  I was able to read the post in full, and it was probably one of the most insightful posts I've read about that level of play.

    As one who has had posts removed many time I side with you.
    If you happen to post something the dev defenders dont like its removed instead of dealt with.
    so close your eyes and hope and pray for things to improve but hold your tounge !
    A joke indeed !

    I agree with OP, it was thought out and very well written.  As a player who has spent tens of thousands on a mobile super hero candy crush like game these type of things are concerning.  I stopped doing buys clubs this last season when they changed it to win based and was planning on resuming my regular buy club spending once I heard they changed it back but now...  

    Great job D3 on helping me save approximately a thousand dollars per month and 3000 next month during your sale.  A very insightful respective post following all your “rules” removed, yes take your time responding.  You guys are such a joke.

    Should we wager on whether the "temporary" (LOL) removal for review or the actual investigation of the cheating described therein will be first to conclude?  I'd put my money on a tie.  Unfortunately, I won't be able to get paid as "Never" does not have a defined end point.

    Riddle me this, why would a man who's hacking buys ask for swaps at all? Wouldn't it make more sense to just hack more?

    Because you clearly don't understand how the player in question is performing this particular cheat.
