Will GAC Cheating Ever Be Rectified?
I made a post over a month ago to ask for community input as to whether someone had cheated in my GAC round. The overall consensus was yes they cheated and to report to CG Lucifer’s Daddy. I did so and gave it a few weeks before following up with him again. Fast forward until now and I still have not yet heard anything. I bring this up as I’m fairly certain my current GAC opponent has cheated as well and I’m at a loss for how to proceed. It seems like simple requests like this should be able to be answered/rectified in a month but alas here we are. It would be nice if CG would at least provide a response saying “we are looking into the matter and you can expect a response back in x amount of time”. It is frustrating when players are putting in effort into a game where cheating seemingly goes unpunished. What are your thoughts on how to make this better for everyone as this has truly gone on for far too long?

Funny enough, I bought the thread up to meathead yesterday
What do you expect, a public flogging? They aren't required to update you when someone gets banned.
I know this wasn’t in response to me but I figured I would respond. I don’t want to see anything happen publicly, I would however like to see a response from the team so that I knew they were at least looking at it, and if they did determine the individual cheated how they were going to compensate me for the loss. I just hate to lose crystal income for something absolutely beyond my control. If I lose fairly, I lose no worries. If I get cheated out of a victory though then compensation should be given. Just my two cents.
AFAIK, compensation does not occur. Cheaters suck, and it sucks to be a victim of it, but this is just how things work.
Yes. Public flogging. You nailed it. Well done.
I agree, and CG did say they would recompensate players if cheaters were found:
I asked them a few times if anyone was ever given recompensation but they ignored me so I gave up asking (i think thats their way of saying no?), I will try to ask meathead if i ever remember coming week
Surely GAC history is all you would need to observe. Maybe a simplification would be if a players has been proven to cheat, players in the current season who lost to them should be given a flat rate compensation of crystals, saves time trying to calc potential losses for each individual player affected, as this includes the win, the placing at the end of event and a small amount of daily crystals if caused a relegation. This could be adjusted for the division to make sure it’s fair (around the quantity of potential loss) but should assume they would of won in a fair game, since why else did the opponent cheat? This would be a good will / apology for inconvenience.
Is it realistic to catch someone during a GAC? The turnaround on that investigation would have to be less than a week.
If there's a cheater in one group, then 7 other players should be compensated and their scores and lost crystals / winnings given to them. As many cheaters have been identified so far, that's a lot of crystals and other items players should be receiving.
It ain't happening probably because the cheaters are far more rampant than CG wants to let on and they don't have the team to keep up with cheaters yet.
Hope you didnt pay too much.... anyone... can i get a laugh track... anyone...
