ktx822 The current top‑ranked arena player is a cheater

Post by Little Teeth »

His rank abnormally shot up to the global number‑one position in a short timeframe. Replay data indicates that across multiple matches, his opponents would voluntarily collect two pearls at the start of each game, then intentionally use golden items to discard three Tier‑3 cards. This sequence of actions directly triggered the system’s severe‑violation ruling, forcing the opponents to forfeit and leave the match, thus securing unfair gains for the player in question.

Notably, these matches have an average duration of under 60 seconds, drastically shorter than the game’s standard average match length of around 20 minutes.

In addition, opponents who competed against this player have successively de‑registered their accounts, further heightening concerns regarding the fair‑play competitive environment. Conduct that leverages system loopholes or rule abuse to obtain competitive advantages not only contravenes sportsmanship and the platform’s fair‑play standards, but also undermines the legitimate rights and interests of the entire player base.

Edited: DO NOT name others, use the reporting tools at your disposal.

Someone has to report them first. BGA doesn't simply review 100s of thousands of games at random looking for cheaters.

How long has it been since they were reported? It takes time to conduct a review.

The current top player is definitely a cheater!!! If you look at his previous arena games, you will find that he won a same guy - NoArena_Just4Fun for more than 40 times and each game was within 1 minute! I look at his games. He used the bga-specific rule that when your opponent take all three golds and two pearls and don't buy any cards in 3 turns, you have an option to kick him out of the game and win immediately. In his game, he and his opponent take turns to pick only 1 token, which is obviously not what a normal player would do!! It is apparent that he and NoArena_Just4Fun is just the same person using different accounts. He used this rule to win rapidly and gained a lot of points in a short time. This is definitely an unfair behavior which seriously affects the fairness of arena!
Hope that bga could figure out this cheater and give him a permanent ban as soon as possible!!!

You’re right, professional‑level players can all tell that he is cheating,but it seems BGA hasn’t taken serious action against this individual. It would truly be a disgrace if someone like this were allowed to remain at the top of the rankings.
