About cheating (the other part of the story)

HoundofShadow

Typically, the thread will start with how one of the top 1% of the players complaining about cheating, and the dev doing nothing to close the cheatings.

But today, this thread will be totally different: My alt account was flagged for cheating today and I was booted out of my alliance and I can't join any alliance as of now. As of this moment, I'm still clearing with CS about this.

Anyway, I was expecting this to happen, and it's not because I cheated. It's because I disrupted the "peace" in T10 placement for SCL 10 without using 550 iHulkoye to get T10. All I did was to use Shang Chi to get T10 placement in pve in the first bracket.

To the top players/alliances who flagged my account for cheating, you'll be disappointed that I did not cheat and I'll continue to get T10 placement in SCL 10 PvEs.

That makes no sense at all why anyone would glad your account for that.  I don't have any 550s but I can get T10 in SCL10 PVE with the right timing and boosts.  There is no way you should have been flagged for that.  None.  Hoping for a swift resolution in your favor.

If those other top 10 players actually flagged you out of spite, then they are very immature and deserve to be banned themselves.

The irony is that the actual cheaters themselves don’t like it when they lose so they get affronted and report you. Why are they mad?  Cause they assume that there’s no way you could beat them unless you were cheating yourself.  

Wish the devs would look into this but sadly, it doesn’t seem like they give a damnos.

One of the top players said in the forum before that they track T10 placement in scl 10 pves religiously. T10 in SCL 10 are largely dominated by the same two or three alliances. And majority, if not all of them, has 550 or close to 550 roster. When a player with only one 5* Shang Chi champed gets T10 in the first bracket, it's going to stick out like an eyesore. 

Anyway, I need to wait until my next clear start before I can send video proofs of me not cheating. 

And it has been an interesting experience getting flagged for cheating. I didn't know they would boot you out of your alliance and prevent you from joining a new one.

You'll also get banned from the forum for discussing that some players cheat. Double ban!

Yeah that is odd.

It seems like if it is at the point where they feel the need to keep somebody from being in an alliance they should just be done with the account. I mean good thing they didn't for your sake.

I’ve heard this but never seen it, can I search to see what happened?

You'll experience it firsthand shortly @StanleyBurrell

Bad

In a way it's good news, actually people gets quickly banned for supposed cheat(now top players can spend again, like some were saying time ago).
In another way it's bad news: expect SC nerf if you send them videos proving it. 

hamsup_sotong

was that the account with the 450 shang chi and no other champ 5?

darkman84

It's also weird reason for me. I can get to T10, sometimes T5 even, with only a couple 5* level 450ish. However if that's really the reason, then it means that actually anyone can be banned just for trying to be competitive.

HoundofShadow

Yes, currently getting T10 in slice 5 first bracket. Can you let them know that I didn't cheat? 

DAZ0273

Presumably your regular account can also get top 10? I guess that has more 5* but I doubt 550's? The whole thing sounds a bit strange to me but I guess these Top Alliances organise amongst themselves who is supposed to get what (hence the monitoring mentioned to make sure no fluctuations) and outsiders would not be welcome. Hopefully you get your account restored.

Are you a stream player by any chance ? You're not telling the whole story... game of telephone here.

HoundofShadow

As long as you

1) have a champed SC
2) are willing to spam boosts
3) are fast with your matches
4) can schedule your life around the timing

You should be able to get T10 most of the time. Good supports will help you increase the speed dramatically. However, some slices seem to be pretty fast. They are fast enough to make me T11/T12.  Unfortunately, the fourth requirement is the most difficult to fulfill and it filters out more tha 80% of the playerbase.

I don't have any 550 because I can't imagine saving cps/LTs for the next 2 years just to get meta to 550.

Anyway, the main purpose of starting this thread is that based on my memory, CS doesn't inform those players who filed cheating reports the status of their report. They can only see it with their own eyes and if they still see the "cheater" continue to get T10, they will assume that the dev allows cheating to happen. So, I want to let those players know that for that particular account, no cheating was involved.

I believe some of the players who filed report against my alt account are probably reading this thread. If not, for those in Line, please send a memo to the top players in other slices that that account is not using cheat, just in case they spot this account getting T10 in other slices.

Just out of curiosity, how good is your supports ?
Also, how old is the account. Perhaps, the "cheating" is not in winning, but in obtaining.
Look forward in reading your CSR email regarding why, if you're willing to share it.

Sharing emails from Customer Service is against forum policy, so that would be a... triple ban?

DAZ0273

Yeah, you would be better summarising and para-phrasing.

HoundofShadow

It's against forum policy to share CS replies and I didn't email them. Everything is discussed using in-game help support. Anyway, I simply did what the popup told me to do and the CS told me that I'm clearing pve too quickly for my roster. So, I told them I could do a livestream or I could take video to prove that I didn't cheat. I've sent videos to them and I'm waiting for them to head to the office in another 3-4 hours time to watch my videos.

That flagged account is 468 day old  and I have spent a few hundred dollars to kind of "skip" 2* and 3* land. I think my support isn't that good. The best support is Baton or Kimoyo Beads to boost his damage.

As for in "obtaining", I'm not sure what you meant by that. Basically, I hoarded enough LTs CPs and SC happened to be released. I also have a fully covered Gamora. And, I spent a few hundred dollars on the game to speed up my progress.

didn't you have a couple of 5 star supports plus talon and corvus at 4*
that's more 5 star supports than 5s* toons
