So Uberman is one of the people who reads the Term and Agreements... Good job.


Normally I'd just click accept and get into playing - but I have an interest in knowing what can be done against exploiters, I confess I didnt read it right away, only on one of my alt accounts some time later did I think it was good to skim through and look for any new powers the admins had.

I once saw a YouTube video where people hack to get membership or ecoins. They are stealing money, even if it is only like 3 bucks.

Another one.

Why do I get so many? This was kelvinross, who surrendered and froze the game after I killed his archer (sword archer start, dead archer is virtually game lost).

I may be quitting this game soon, until it gets fixed up.

Call me a cry baby if you like, its not that losing ranking is actually serious to me - but it removes the reason for playing (and paying for) the game - its supposed to be fun. There isnt fun in losing to exploiters, there is fun in being beaten by better players and learning from it.
Earlier today I was ranked at about 1960-70, almost back to my best. I lost a couple of games to Pros (for 10 and 9 points) and a couple to wishwind very early on for less points, but every single other loss I recall today was due to exploiters. Now I am back at under 1900. Before this match, was about 1908 (after second loss to pros) then after this exploit i sink to 1889.

When a lower ranking player does an exploit, and I lose 20-25+ points per pop, its not funny anymore. I lost over 100 ranking today.

KelvinRoss

He is using the lag exploit on me now. His statue is crumbling but won't stop. He is a Chaos user and started with 2 crawlers. I almost beat it with 2 swords but he retreated. I pursued and he garrisoned. He called me a noob, I said he was just playing bad. He was also complaining about always losing at his rating because he keeps facing favoured people.

I got 3 swords and an archer and he had 4 crawlers and a bomber. I had the tower, I killed one of the bombers with my archer, the other one blew up with a negligible effect on my swords. I proceeded to destroy his crawlers.

He said "See, I lose"
"Noo"
"noob"

He also called me a noob for going for miners. I called it logic, saying you need gold for an army and miners make gold.

EDIT: I just left the game by refreshing. I lost no rating though. Before I left I saw the window that said he was lagging and was going to forfeit. I have a picture of when he started the exploit. I can post it if it is needed. Someone else may have faced this kid. He said his rating was around 1751.

KelvinRoss is an idiot, I just played him again and he admited to cheating, saying he was going to cheat. It led to a victory screen in like 10 seconds this time though. I lost 2 rating for whatever reason though...... I believe the picture is necessary this time. I didn't feel like cropping it : P

He used Order this time, probably because my sword start beat his crawler start for Chaos. I did Archer and Sword, my standard start against Order on all maps except Grass Hills.

Yep, sounds like the guy in the replay I posted, based on the chat. His alt account has as much lower rating apparently (~1500).
