And with all those buildings he'd be at least a lv40+ ....and he's only a 21. ....I've come across a few suspicious bases today also. Seem to have cannons everywhere.

Hmmm interesting...

1. Yes he is a cheat.
2. It will take months before anything is done about it.
3. When they finally get round to dealing with it, the player will not be disciplined in ANY way.
4. No you wont get and recompense when player like this raid you and take all your resources.

it might be a glitch ... i signed on yesterday to a few extra buildings, and my city center now back to lvl 1 so i'm stuck because i can't upgrade ANYTHING ... and yes, the DEVs aren't answering ANY e-mails.

Question, if you log in with extra buildings, and the game gives you no way to delete it, how is it cheating when you are forced to do with what the game has given you? If you log in with extra buildings because you exploited a bug, yes you're a cheater.

If a mod can clear this out it would be great.
Its not the first post about a cheating player, and theres no one from the staff to at least say what they are going to do, or clear this problem if it is a bug.

The game isn't giving you anything of the sort... So I'm assuming you're cheating aswell?

Awesome assumption. And no, I'm not. Feel free to find me.

I see my language is confusing you. If an application has a defect, it is still the application that is generating the results. Exploiting a defect is entirely a different issue. In this case, the application (DomiNations) randomly generates extra buildings. The application (DomiNations) does not allow the user to undo the changes. Therefore it is purely the application that is responsible (for the users that are not actively exploiting).

And FYI, the developers have already responded to this in a sticky post.

The app didn't give them extra building. They use a hex tool to crank the game and give themselves extra

I'd almost believe you if:
  • 1. The developers didn't admit that it was a bug (again, the sticky post answers that). Developers already acknowledge that it is a coding error on their behalf.
  • 2. If it wasn't a server side game. The poster papasmurf admitted to logging into the game and seeing extra buildings giving credence to point # 1. Hex tools don't work. I can only conclude (because I refuse to attempt it myself) that internet pages supporting these claims are malicious and are attempting install malware on unsuspecting victims.

I'm tired of all this stuff saying that since there are bugs, the cheaters can't be punished because we don't know if its intentional. That is absolute garbage. Just because there are bugs which may give an extra structure, shouldn't nullify the fact that people are exploiting the bugs to gain an advantage. Nobody accidentally ended up with a bunch of extra towers, walls, and catapaults when they logged in and if they did, they should report it immediately. These people are cheaters and should be banned. The people that arn't cheating are the ones actually putting money into this game. The devs need to have an iron fist when it comes to this. I know all games have this problem, but it is rampant right now in this game. I see a cheater almost every day. The longer this goes on unchecked, Nexon/BHG will continue to lose potential business and hurts this game reputation. Which is honestly a huge shame, because this is really an awsome game if they can fix this issue.

Hey timzhang, Thanks for reporting this player. We are sending this screenshot over to the game team for review.

This game is relatively new dude. There are tons of bugs especially with games that run on both android and apple. It takes time and people actually reporting to fix the issues.I'm sure if you logged in one morning and it threw you into the city editor and you had 2 town halls and had to put them both down you would not want to get your account banned especially if you bought a starter pack or something. Stop being a dick. If you see someone with obvious glitches in their city just screen cap it and move on. Then post the screen cap on here.

In reading through the various threads on cheating, I see several new players are defending the cheaters by saying the game is "new" and the cheaters are victims of a "glitch." What the new players don't realize is that the game is not new and the cheating has been going on for months. These people are not innocent victims of a glitch. They take affirmative steps to exploit it. Long time players like Aussie Guy and WhatWhat get frustrated because it does not seem like Nexon is doing anything about it. I am sure Nexon is doing everything it can to identify and fix the bug the cheaters are exploiting. They don't want their game ruined by a few bad seeds. The problem has always been the lack of communication with the player base. We don't need Wvolf saying thank you for your post and please report though in game settings every time a cheat is identified. What we need is for a developer to say they are aware of the issue and they are taking steps to fix it. If Nexon wants people to spend money on its game it needs to assure us that the game will be around for a while and will be free from cheats. A little communication would go a long way towards keeping the player base happy.

Again, I'd believe you if you were actually right (which you're not):

I don't understand why vasheir is defending these guys. A few may be glitches but most are openly exploiting the game and cheating. We have been around alot longer that you and we've seen it all. So stop defending the cheats.

Good idea damm. I'm also going to start some new accounts and cheat as there seems to be no repercussions whatsoever for this kind of play.
