Blatant cheating in Arena

Post by Castanova »

Won't name names here but let's say a very highly-ranked player in Arena is blatantly cheating. This person joins games with a partner (potentially just another account of theirs) who helps this player win by blocking other players and generally scoring poorly. When this cheater is likely to lose anyway, this "helper" disconnects so the game doesn't count.

How will this sort of activity be addressed? Are victims just failing to report this? How long does BGA take to act?

You can report the player if you do think he is king making with detailed explanation. Moderators will act accordingly

The player Ever'Eight' Xion has been reported multiple times and no serious actions have been taken. It's honestly pathetic how badly BGA is handling such blatant cheating. This should warrant a ban from the game where it's involved.

The game hasnt been released for a full weel yet !!! Agricola is just 1 game over the 300 here, there are no reason they will prioritise this, knowing that there will be no arena champion this season anyway.
Let justice do its work.
