Alright. I need to vent. I need to have the opinion of the few adults that are part of this community. I believe this discussion needs to be done.

I have seen attacks from some people against a certain faction or a certain group of players. No need to name names or point fingers, this is not the point. The question I am asking is where does all that bitterness comes from ? What happened in the past game phases ? Well we all know what happened: cheating. Cheating in all it's forms. From dummying, to scamming to pure hacking.

Some of the best hackers even got rewarded from all the hacking they did by the devs. To a point, I understand that by sharing their exploits with the devs, they made the game more secure. But before sharing the cracks in the system they made sure a small "click" a friends got their shares. Again let me point out that there is no need to point fingers at anybody in particular.

I was not there in the old times (mainly the beta phase) where so many well know cheaters made a name for themselves. Some got ban for a short time, some for longer period but little have been done to thruly punish them. You see the cheaters back after a while with all their wins (most of those wins not deserved). They still have a ton a tokens (again most of those not deserve as I am refering to a recent token hack). They will take flags for months or win daily wars.

I also see people (now we are getting into very very slippery ground here) cutting loses from their records and gaining huge amount of wins in an impossible time frame. The free acces to varium for some players made the factions war terrible for a long time as well.

The point of all this is EpicDuel is full of exceptions. Favorized players get this or that without most of the playing community knowing about it. The list of all those little things is endless. What I have mentionned above is only the tip of the iceberg. I don't want to say too much or be too specific as I don't want you guys to get carried away and miss my point.

This is killing the game. This is especially killing the competing part of it.

What could be done about it ? How a ordinary player like me, who spent over 500$ of hard earn money, is supposed to feel about all this. Now that I have my eyes opened, I see more and more unfairness happening under the nose of other regular players like me. Players like who just play the game for fun, play by the rules. I am losing my trust in this game.

What do you guys think ??


I wish the people regulating this forum leave my thread open as I am calling for an honest discussion. I am not attacking the reputation of any player.
Thank you

I feel that this thread is a good thread to explain some things, however at the same time I do not want a discussion about this. I will lock this, however let me answer a few things first.

You made some points in the post, including the fact that cheaters (specifically hackers) got rewarded with an achievement for breaking the game. It's people like you who were upset that they got such a thing, and because of it, no one is rewarded with such a reward now. I completely understand how you feel about things like this, and it is a very serious matter indeed. No one wants to feel at a disadvantage compared to others, and that is entirely respectable.

It may seem that hackers are always around, and to be completely truthful and blunt, there will always be hackers no matter what we do. We can try our hardest, and put in as many limitations as possible, but there will always be someone out there trying to break and abuse the game. These people are handled and moderated almost immediately, and are made sure they did not abuse a feature.

Lycus is head of security, and is constantly on the look out for hackers and exploits. While it may not seem that exploits and other abusive things are made public, they are definitively looked into and people who do such things are severely punished.

No one wants to play in a game where there are cheaters or hackers, I think we can all agree upon that. I strongly encourage you to PM Lycus, Cinderella, or I about any matters such as this, if you feel a player has been cheating or abusing something, we will look into it.

A topic like this is NOT up for discussion,
Once again please PM me if you feel someone is cheating.
