It will be interesting to see how, once the loophole is closed, this will impact recruiting for everybody else. Some of us may have been victims of other coaches exploiting this to some extent and never even realized it.

I agree, this is the greater unknown.

I do think the initiative and analysis by Benis needs to be rewarded. Most online games are self-policed. In this case, Benis did WIS a huge favor identifying a substantial flaw in the logic, whatever its nature.

The offender, should be made to pay, whether a forfeiture of his credits with teams he used to accumulate them or loss of the career progression in those worlds, it doesn’t really matter to me. There must be something more to punishment than “Hey, that wasn’t cool,” from the admins and some public shaming by all of us.

A life sized granite statue of Benis at WIS headquarters isn't too much to ask for, is it?

Maybe the most messed up thing... CS confirmed he's cheated THIS current recruiting session. So we're just going to let him get away with it one last time. No punishment, no impact to his recruiting this session, nothing. Wtf?

Yeah that is truly absurd. CS needs to nuke his current recruiting session ASAP.

Absolutely ridiculous. I also put in a ticket as I'm currently competing against swenske as well, and got a very political, dismissive response that amounted to nothing being done.

i agree that should be automatic...

Hello everyone,

We are looking into the situation, please allow us time to review. The devs are aware of what is going on.

Can someone explain what the loophole is? How was he able to cheat?

As others have said, I am near positive whatever has been done, is being done by more than this guy. I have lots of suspicions of weird activity, folks doing things they shouldn’t be able to do based on what I’ve been able to do, including a battle that just wrapped up.

I don’t want all the users banned, I want the system fixed, the loophole (all loopholes) closed. It’d be great if I got lost recruits back, but that’s going to create a huge headache and a cascade, and I just don’t think that’s reasonable. Fix the system, issue warnings, move forward.

I don't think it has been stated for public consumption. I'm guessing it has to do with how and when attention points are processed. The guy is probably using the same APs on different recruits during the same cycle.

No offense, and you probably have good intentions, but this is the last thing that we need to discuss here!

And to others regarding the “this may be his first time”, does we really need to even touch on this? Cheaters always will cheat again. Felons are felons whether they were good on every other day of their life except for one. So on and so on. Obviously this isn’t criminal, so it’s not that serious. But I just can’t grasp why some of you guys are so relaxed about anything along these lines. That’s all I got

Sounds reasonable, shoe...but wouldn't burning all the witches at the stake be more fun? Halloween is tomorrow. Try to get into the spirit of the season.

Customer Service can draw a line in concrete here or they can mess around and give a serious cheater a second chance. I just know I will not play with cheaters so any world this guy is in, I will never play in. Don’t want to drop my teams but gladly will

I have a team in every world and I own several HD shirts from purchases. I put money into this site with no problem because I love the community and product. CS has so far rewarded that with not answering people on weekends ever. I think they should do something important here.

Also if this is a system where multiple users are using it, then for sure the guys in here that are weirdly defending it seem a bit out of place I'll say. If multiple users are doing this then I'm out of this site completely lol. To hear a ton of coaches have just been exploiting a rule right under Customer Service's nose while other paying coaches suffered from just pure cheating would be a lot, to hear that Customer Service was forgiving them would be enough for me to quit.
