"Spoofers. Exactly. Have they banned any GPS coordinate spoofers? No-one knows except GA."

Yes, I know of specifically a number of spoofers banned by GA, because they are acquaintances of mine.

Question: Lazerus, are you a dev sympathizer (not that it really matters to me), because you just seem to make an excuse for everything GA does. Or, are you an employee of GA running an alt account? OR, are you just being contrary for attention, and trolling? I guess there are a few out there who have a raging love how things are run here (I know of at least one other), but it's difficult to wrap my head around.

GA the events leading up to this weekend are varied. Since the start, you have not listened to you clients. We have asked for fixes changes and better content. For a while there was some creative content that made the game. New then you started messing around with battle groups making them so big that you couldn't get help or help the ones you wanted to because the status would disappear before any one saw it. I try to be fair and play fair but really what does cheating involve. I know the was a group who maufactued mana and bought up everyone's realms but since then I don't know. You have refused to give us rules and you randomly change the game rather than fixing what is broke. I don't think I will come back. I have devoted so much time to this game and money but you have not treated us with respect and listened to what we want or for the last five months no new content if you've seen one spider you seen them all. One person out of 100 gets the kill and everyone else very little maybe a sigil. So whether you have played one sec in the fight or 5 minutes you may still end up with nothing. After nine months I'm bored and you have abused my trust. Beacons contine to only be given credit to the last hit which allows players to swoop in and take the lady shot with no loss of time or pots. You have reduced the rewards we get so much that only a few get it no matter what you score. Most of your client bade are adults not 10 year olds but you give out prizes for five year olds (i.e. stickers). And if you play long enough to find a rick to playing the game, you get banned in mass because it is cheating. Nevermind that no one has defined what is cheating and glitches, lag and friend lists go haywire for no reason. When we complain, we are always told that you know what is best for the game. I'm probably older than all of you at GA and honestly, I haven't blindly followed anyone since I was 5. My fellow players aren't blind either. We earn the respect of other players and expect to be treated with respect by GA. Show us you respect us by making it clear what is or is not cheating. I can guarantee if we know what it is we will know who is doing it and report it long before you even suspect. I'm sad to be leaving but you have not demonstrated your faith in us to self police and govern our own battle groups. No one likes your dictatorship. Imprisonment(banning) without a chance to face the accuser went out 240 years ago. Explain how and why or lose us all.

So we have been asking for clarification, transparency, or any answer that won't just deflect the issue irresponsibly.. Many here have asked or demanded such while specifically mentioning the wish for more comprehensible responses. Here is what we get:

Chadj
We apologize for any frustration, doubt, or confusion that our recent actions regarding account closures have caused some of you. As stated previously, accounts are only closed when we've identified and confirmed irrefutably that repeated attempts to manipulate Shadow Cities game's systems have and continue to occur.

We understand the very natural desire to defend and believe in the innocence of those closest to you, however, we must remain objective in our handling of the situation and rely exclusively on what our tool's data confirms.

All of the information we are willing to release on this matter can be found on our 'Exploits & Cheating in Shadow Cities FAQ' - http://www.shadowcities.com/forum/topic/3217/

This gives us EXACTLY the same information we had before you posted Chad.
Why did you bother? Is this an insult from GA to their clientelle? It certainly feels like one.
