what will be done about the leaderboard "bug"

Prev1
are these teams actually getting rewards for the raids or is it just "visual" like the guild coin bug?
a new guild has entered the mix with 6600 raid points.
I really hope they don't get to keep the rewards but as we saw with the vader debacle and the previous raid exploit its likely than they will

    You don't get rewarded for where your guild ranks in raid points.

    You know they will eventually be dealt with...

    in the meantime, I am hoping they can break 7000!

    We are aware of an issue where some Guilds on the leaderboards are gaining points rapidly and climbing the ranks. These Guilds are not hacking/cheating, there is currently a bug that was caused due to the outage. We are currently working on a fix for this.

    lol I've read that and it leads me to belive that they will be allowed to keep whatever rewards they've acquired and we will get a lame excuse as to why they couldn't take them back

    are you even sure they are doing more raids to aquire those leaderboard points? Why always assume the worst? I would like to believe that EA_jesse would call it cheating if they were doing THAT many raids. People got banned for accepting multiple raid rewards that were send to their inbox, others got their inventory depleted for the same bug caused by EA/CG. So i reckon if those guys are doing unlimited raids, steps will be taken by EA/CG and they will be considered exploiters/cheaters or wichever term you'd like to use.

    edit: It's not hard to track the players who are involved in this case. It's a small scale problem (judging by the leaderboard 4 or 5 guilds)

    If it's simply a visual bug then why isnt it happening to the entire leader board? There is definitely more to it

    I agree. I've been tracking the leaderboard since yesterday. the guilds that are exploiting it seem to be ghosts. not a single player is registered with swgoh.gg and a few don't even have full rosters. the guild in the #1 spots description say they're only doing t1-3.

    It is a bug due to the outage yesterday it will be fixed. Jesse has stated the guilds are not hacking or cheating.

    so will they keep the rewards for the raids they've completed?

    how do you know they are even doing raids? you are quick to label them exploiters without even knowing what is going on. Even if it turns out they are exploiters, they will most likely be dealt with by EA/CG accordingly.

    lol highly unlikely that the game would pick a handful of guilds to randomly increase their raid points. if that were the case wouldn't every guild be experiencing the same problem? let's be logical for a min. if walks like a duck, talks like a duck, looks like a duck, smells like a duck, odds are it's a duck not a zebra
  • Options
    Logic rarely applies when bugged coding is concerned.

    For all we know the bug effects guilds who did X Tier 3 raids before the outage, Or it could just effect guilds who have done 33 tier 1 raids or Just guilds with members under lvl 70, ther isnt enough information to say

    We just dont know enough to speculate on why its effecting the people it is or even if they are actively raiding for their points so lets put the pitchforks down.

    Use your noodles folks. Here is my theory:

    New raid was released to 3 guilds with varying rosters and abilities. These guilds are running the new raid at all tiers, over and over again. Looking for difficulty issues, bugs, exploits, etc. this is the only logical reason why they would gain leader board points and it not be an issue. Who ever set up the trial simply forgot to disable the accumulation of guild points.

    They have said over and over they are testing it. I'm sure it would be difficult to mimic the way a real guild handles a raid. Rosters, gear levels, experience levels, communication abilities, structure, it goes on and on. Surely they won't be given all the rewards they are earning, but instead a large sum of crystals for helping.

    I would take that bet at whatever odds you want any day just based on the fact that there's more than 3 guilds exploiting it >:)

    There are 4 guilds now that are far ahead. I still think my theory is sound. I haven't seen any other suggestions. Other than an exploit that CG says isn't an exploit, I'd still make that bet.

    Really, I couldn't care less. Worst case scenario, is not corrected, and next month those 3 guilds will be greeting as leaders of last month. Wow....

    No Sir, this would be receiving only. You have to admit it's a sound theory. There is nothing else that explains it.

    The game bugging out because those 4 guilds were finishing the raid/getting rewards when the servers went down and it credits them with the raid score of whatever raid they were last on every hour? Some other non conspiracy theory?

    Me and my officers have a hard time telling who is slacking and isn't when both the last login and coin counts are wrong half of the time. This is a pretty major issue. Also bring back the weekly reports! That was so illogical to remove that then allow these bugs run amuck for this long. Incompetence

    Who cares...... Games been riddled with exploits for months. Raids and guild leaderboard being the main issue. Really, just ignore it. The devs have other things to deal with like delivering new content which they seem to be doing very well at the minute. People are always gonna exploit and game the system folks. That's gaming.
