Outspell Unfair Scoring

[LyndaB358430]

You know there's something fishy going on when the high score at midnight is over 5000 & the same names always have the highest scores. This is so unfair & dishonest of aarp. I will just play straight through arkadium rather than play through aarp. For christ sakes, make it equal.

Hi @LyndaB358430 ,
While I second the motion, it’s a futile task in most gaming platforms as cheating evolves as the codes can be easily broken without constant and secure vigilance to keep it at bay.  The platforms such as this, that host gaming companies, need to update, patch their systems constantly, upgrade their servers, and have dedicated monitoring be it human or AI to tackle ongoing exploits.

    I don’t think other than user reporting, which from what I’ve seen here, has been ongoing, nothing else will happen.  Outside of this place, there are countless cheating sites that can help people fill in puzzles.  Those same people can come back here and plug stuff in.  Other than users identifying cheating to mods, without proper updates, patches, server changes, and dedicated IT staff which I hope they have, this is basically futile. I totally get your frustration, but don’t think it will be addressed as it might be out of their control to handle it properly.

The responses back to us that ive seen from a mod are the games are for enjoyment, relaxation, etc…. With that, user reporting sounds to me as the only means available that might happen. Good topic. 👍

Yes, it's the same with Codeword. I've simply decided not to try and compete except with just myself. It's futile. That, plus many times my complete history is wiped out. <sigh>

My approach as well.  👍
